That's a negative on the expo leaves, but I do have a couple of add-a-leaves.

kevery, what are you using for the sliders and bumbers and cage? that must have cost a lot. what are you doing for the doubler? I just helped my friend randy do his in his 01 ranger. its pretty simple as far as the doubler set up. the hard part is all the fab with the install.

morg pick and pull has a toooooon of exploders. go snag a set.

Fu ck that noise. You give me money, I give you a couple of leaves.
Shit you don't even have to pull you springs off of your truck to stick a new leaf in the spring pack. And you achieve the same desired results of the expo leaves, a slightly taller free arch height and a slightly greater spring rate.

Too much? I'm thinking maybe cut it down to a 4 light bar. Or maybe down to a 3 light bar and run the other two lights down on the bumper.
Thoughts?

[ben10]

never too much light! I say put 4 more on the front bumper again! make that bitch look like the sun!

I'm using 1 3/4 dom. for the cage, bumpers, sliders and crossmembers. I get all my steel and tube at cost so it wasn't to terrable. As for the t-cases, I have to buy a new fuel tank before I can install them. going with a bronco II tank or I might just make one. I can't wait to start I just need to find the time. between the fam the buggy and my broke down boat its gonna be hard. We really want to get the buggy done by new years so we can take it to Johnsion Vally. Got my fingers crossed!

 

[2004xlmiller]

keep it the way it is tom! that looks sick!

pup looks great too, its growin up

 

[Kevery]

The light assembly is pritty big but there still bad ass. I'd rock'em for sure. Are you gonna exo that thing or put a roll cage in it?

 

[dhkonrad]

Agreed, the lights look badass. Do any of you guys with overhead lights cover them, or has anyone gotten in trouble around here for NOT covering them?

 

[2004xlmiller]

ive always been told to keep mine covered.. do i? no.. have i ever been pulled over for them? no.. lol. im think as long as youre not a dick and dont use them when youre not supposed to, youll be fine. means dont get caught with lights on while driving down the road.
