Sort of a silly little project but it was something that had been bugging me for a while. After the run on Big Jones on Sunday, that was it I had to so something. Myself, John and a few others pulled into a little parking lot to air up and re connect, it's dark, I can't find my flashlight and I am fumbling with my damn iPhone to try and get enough light to see what I was doing. Frustrating  Last night I went to princess auto picked myself up some cheapo $20 LED Driving lights I mounted them up under the fenders as best I could to try and prevent them from getting broken from rocks and anything else. I wired them all up, turned out the lights in the garage flicked the switch and bingo! Works like a champ! Now when it's dark out, I can just turn them on re connect and be on my way, painless!    |

You will enjoy them when wheeling at night as well!

Nice!
Side note. I'm picking up a RC steering stabilizer in the coming weeks. Do you like the dual-shock?

I like the dual, is it any different than the single?? Nope don't think so, I had the single on for a while and decided to upgrade to the dual for no other reason than it looked better.
Give Tracy a call down at Pecks Auto Glass, I got mine from him in a week and he shipped it direct to my shop for very little.

Looks good. It was pretty sad that we passed around your iphone for light. Not one of us with a flashlight  |

Nice job and a great idea. I also saw online guys doing this but they mount them directly under the jeep for trail riding at night so they can be able to see their rocker gaurds, and for spotters to see obstacles directly underneath.

Yup, aka Rock Lights.. Would be awesome on a Curse Night run, but those are few and far between.
