A little bored tonight and saw this.
From the first page of my build...
As for build updates, probably gonna put the Gobi ladder back on and mount a Rigid Dually backup light there (sold my old KC backups) because the spoiler blocks a lot of the useable light from the roof rack.
Still somewhat undecided between 2 Duallys or 1 Dually D2, as well diffusion vs wide, but I'm almost set on D2 and diffusion. I've read the lens can be easily replaced with plexiglass if I don't like it whereas I can't make a diffusion lens if the wide lens throws the light too far.
Also working on getting some HD hatch struts for the extra weight of the ladder, but I'm not sure if they're available for the 4th gens. That's all I got right now.

:wow:...Five different setups later... Oh well :happens:

Nice light bar. You know we want some pics of the light output.

You missed it man, page 27 or 28....
Lows + Highs
Lows + Highs + LED bar (the dirt wall in the far back is about 4-500 yards away)
View from the front
The pics don't do it justice but do show a good comparison. In reality, the dirt wall barely visible in the pic was well lit to my eye.
Funny you commented, I almost texted you earlier. You trying to get rid of your 4R? (saw your post in that classified thread)

Check trailworthyfab.com, they seem to have the best prices. I paid a little bit less because I got zstampe to pick mine up locally (from someone buying them from the importer as TWF) but I ended up not saving much from TWF's price after shipping.
btw "I think I love her too much" isn't a very strong statement.. I believe if I said that about my girlfriend she'd be pissed at me.

Here are a couple more output pics of the same bar. Pics don't do it justice. I think it's an excellent product for the price.

Everything is good Austin, hope things are well with you too.
While the thread is being bumped, I may as well attach a few pics I took today when I drove my grandparents out to their farm (mostly soy beans) about an hour away. Weather wasn't great, so it made for some dramatic HDRs.
The house my grandma was born in -
(not as nice as it used to be as tenants don't care as much as owners)
The Farm -
Panoramas are clickable if you wanna see the view full size versions.

This may be the best idea you've ever had. What could be better than beer, 4Runners, and college football?

Well since Alabama is playing in Baton Rouge in November, my vote is here! I can't make it to Auburn in a couple weeks because I'm going wheeling

Thanks a lot guys! I was pretty happy with how they came out, wish I'd have taken more (and wish I could've cleaned the front yard/porch of the house up before!) but I don't think this guy understood why I was taking so many pics lol

If you're paying for the gas & tickets :driving:
I agree, that could be cool if we could get everyone to drive somewhere. Then again we can't seem to get you to drive past the Galleria for a central AL meetup...
