Chewacla Falls

Holy crap that brings back memories! You'd be shocked at how many AU people have no idea where or what that place is. At least that's how it was in my day. No joke, I studied for all of my finals my senior year out there. Keep in mind I didn't have the highest GPA but it was serviceable Thanks for the pics!

Wow..Jeez every time i see those they surprise me. Even on my truck. holy cow...Especially for you since u tinted your lenses holy smokes...

Got her a fresh bath for Easter just in time for pollen season:rofl: Got a few pics and i kinda like how this one turned out! Hope everyone had a great Easter weekend, summer is almost here!!

So a quick update because I got a good bit (in my book) done today!

Modified the Defiant by adding a little extra steel to the existing outer tabs. It now fits a Hanma 30" DR LED bar:naughty:

Removed the exhaust tip, got it dumped right behind the muffler, as the tip I had installed last year had begun to prematurely rust into a large circle on the side... So I think it looks pretty clean now in the rear.

ANDDD got the extended rear sway-bar links done through a write-up provided by [MENTION=80027]Nathana92[/MENTION] (gracias)

The steering did tighten up significantly in mine because of this, so I'm happy with it!

30" Hanma Output Comparison

Got my Hanma 30" wired up late Friday night and just pulled out of the driveway to catch a few shots of it in comparison to my headlight+fog and brights.

First Impressions: This thing is a behemoth of light output. I drove from one end of the neighborhood to the other with only the 30" on and I felt like the amount of light I had there was overkill. It's great, and I'm very excited to have it.

UPDATE: Got the BAMF sliders welded on, and let me say, they are the definition of sturdy. Loving using them as steps, and they gave me a lot more peace of mind when out on the rougher trails Tuesday. Only have the one pic now of when we were welding them up, will try to get an updated full body shot this week sometime
:whoo:

 

[Casper421]

Good choice dude! Looks good!

 

[jaybird93000]

Got some great comparison shots of the headlights+fogs vs. the Hanma 30" LED Bar (courtesy of [MENTION=165]momo.75[/MENTION] and [MENTION=50591]gaterose[/MENTION])

Headlights and Fogs

BOTH

Thought this was a great shot of the LED that I took later, really shows the defined cutoff lines with the spot and flood combo bar.

[jaybird93000]

Haven't been on here in forever, thought i'd stop by and check out my favorite thread and contribute a bit!

Sittin' pretty

Ridin' Dirty

My friend thinks she's a model sometimes (She likes Crayc more than her Heep Liberty) and check that Tacoma XSP out creepin' in the background…

And riding off into the sunset

Did I say War Eagle…?:jump:

(yes i'm the one between the ladies, that is all.)

Saw you parked outside World of Wheels today and your ride looks great in person! And my buddies said thought it was "sick" haha

 

[Whitebeauty]

I think a BHLM is in order for your rig...

Haha I appreciate it man! We had a really great turnout this year, lots of variety and some really great work done. I was helping my buddy show his Camaro all afternoon.

Vader showed up:thumb:

I've considered it for a long time. Only thing i worry about is that then only the fogs would be non black in the front, and at least right now they stack up well with fogs and heads being the normal chrome. Think so though? Im quite easily swayed...

Got some random pics from our three days of being out of school due to the "SNOWPOCALYPSE". The roads did freeze over the first night, but these duratracs held their own, was able to drive right past a lot of people stuck in ditches:laugh: Crayc was frozen over for a day…

Even the tires:shrug:

Lil Snow/Iceball Action

Went out to Tuskegee National Forest to shoot trap and explore once some of the ice was off the major roads.

Just finished up our first round of tests here on the plains, hoping all is well in the new year for y'all.
