I haven't had a chance to get out there and take photos at night, but here is some more of the lights...

Hmm server error, go figure.

Question... other than the fact that it looks AWESOME, is there a benefit to blacking out the lights????

No benefit at all, just looks cool, makes people wonder where you got them and if they were stock.

Here is my writeup on how I did it.

Been having issues with my rear taillight leaking because of the new 12awg wire I used to run my lights.

Made a change and used a grommet.

Now I have to get the water out of my light, I'm thinking about just putting it in the sunlight to bake.

Went ahead and added a ARB air compressor this week too.

And last buy not least... My twin

Cheers.

Sweet! On board air is my next mod, did the ARB come with mounting brackets for the engine compartment? Or did you make your own? Details:hungry:

ARB came with 2 different style bolts and a mounting bracket. I just measured and drilled holes in the fender well. Turned out good, also you have just enough wire to mount in where I did and get to the battery.

Thanks for the reply, sounds like the ARB would be a nice option since it comes with the brackets already. Now how does it perform? How long does it take to fill a tire?

I don't know all the specs but I believe its around a 50% load and somewhere in the neighborhood of 4-5min a tire. That's 0-40psi on a 32in tire. It's a heavy duty ARB compressor. Many rock crawlers use it.

Where did you get those nifty light switches? Also, exactly how did you run the wire from the lights on the rack?

Cool truck.:guitar3:

To the OP, do you have the original measurements for the roof rack where it mounts onto the rails? I.E. mounting hole size, how far apart, width, length, ect.
