I ordered this light bar from Amazon

I ordered this wiring harness/switch from Amazon

Then I mounted it to the underside of the the license plate mount that is in the bumper. I bought nuts/bolts from Home Depot and didn't have to drill into the bumper. Here's the best close up pic I have

Switched to a JDM Type R key fob case. The original key fob case was on its last legs

Is is steady there, or does it bounce around much? Thinking about mounting in the same place.
 
Last night I trimmed my valance. I think it looks much better now than just having the bottom corner near the tire trimmed off like I had it.

It is very steady, but, the light is angled ever so slightly upwards. I maxed out the position on the mounting brackets but still wasn't able to get the angle zeroed out. It's not noticeable when looking at it from the front, but if you get down eye level with the light looking from the side you can tell

Every Island I have been on we take the rental as far as we can get. Unfortunately...we don't get to the best views on all of them. Maui and Hawaii have some impressive views.

How about some surf fishing shots?

I'm making a box for the back. I was thinking of bolting it down but then the carpet will compress a little over time and it will loosen up. Plus then you'll have permanent indents on the carpet. Instead I am using turnbuckles and chains to tighten it up in every direction (down, front, back, left, right), attached to the black D rings. I bought a few extras and put one in the middle of the back near the hatch. I'll put some fabric under the lower pieces of wood to even out the pressure it puts on the carpet. I've done the bottom layer and this thing so far is SOLID.
