I see no need for that many lights.

And nothing personal but I hate your front bumper...

Eh.... If he cared what people thought about his X he would have done something different. But he doesnt, it is what he wants which I encourage everyone to do. I dont give a damn if anyone likes my X either it is what I want.

The good news is that what you think doesn't matter. [Finger]

But you should come on out and wheel with us, we usually get out once a week here, and then you can feel free to make an educated remark on my choice of equipment. 'Till then, [Save the fine unicorns] !!

Troy, are they switched independently, paired or all on and off at the same time?

If you have multiple switches I would like to see how and where you mounted the switches.

I would like to relocate all my switches into one location smile Pics would help wink

I'm sure no one cares what I think, but Troy has a nice truck! Who cares if you NEED that many lights and his bumper is one of the most unique I have seen!!! Two thumbs up! [ThumbsUp] [ThumbsUp]

How badly does that whistle in the wind?
I took the wind faring off my loadwarrior, and it about drove me crazy. I cannot imagine the noise from that contraption. Looks cool tho.

Oh ok. I will leave now for your run some time in the next week or so since I am on the other side of the country. I don't recall saying my OPINION was educated. it is just my opinion. I guess you guys do alot of night runs and you lead, there for you need the lights.Since if you were not the first person you would most likly not even have them on.
Your truck is yours, mine is mine. However if you post a pic you should have thick enough skin to have someone not like it. 90% of the people here say the same thing to everyone picture anyway. Sorry if my lack of appreciation for your 6 lights and bars instead of a bumper ruined your day.

just wanted to use the little smileys too.

I like the light box. Lots of low branches and other things that could harm the light pack are now avioded.

I didn't post the pics, re-read the thread. Sorry to lash out, that's the first negative responce I've ever written on this board. But come on Bro... hated it.... such strong language. I just figured you were a internet tough guy.

I don't think it makes any noise at all, then again, I have to turn my radio up to 11 just to overcome the wheel noise. laugh

They are not even wired yet, just roughed in. The answer will most likely be three switches with a load capacity of 20 amps each as to eliminate the need for relays. I was thinking of mounting the switches on plexiglass and mounting that... somewhere? We're doing it on Saturday before the night run, so I'll post some pics after the install.

Kevin and I have gotten into too many trails where the trail starts to get 5 inches narrower than the X. At that point, trees start beating the hell out of the truck. With the boxing, they should be able to take a beating.

Troy are those the Scepter jerry cans on your rear bumper? Also is that a Skid Row rear bumper? Rig looks good, seems to be very practical. [ThumbsUp]

Personally I think wheeling is 100% about function. And what works in your area and what terrain you wheel on. Personally his bumper would be a great Idea if you were trying to save on weight/money. I would do the same thing if we didn't have zillion grouse up here that have a roadmap for an open radiator.

The box around the lights is a great idea.

And the black patch on the hood probably keeps glare to a minimum.

That's just my two cents... for what it's worth

They are indeed Scepter cans. I like them alot! The bumper is a Skid Row, but it has been modified. The metal can tabs were cut off and the "basket" was welded on. It has drain holes and fits the Scepter cans very well. It also holds a case of Guinness per side with ice perfectly.

A few pics:

Dig the new ideas in fabrication you have going. The light bar definitely has the "why didn't I think of that" appeal to it. Did you fab the whole thing from scratch?

Yes, I designed every thing and the guys at All Phase Off Road did all the welding.
