Looks great!!! :bigok:


How about a daylight pic tomorrow of them. You use the 3rd gen switch? Install it by the shifter or on the left of the dash?

I'm definitely going to mount lights to my roof basket... I don't need no stinkin' garage. Until the first bad storm

Thanks man. It definately took a while to get the wires run the way I want them. Still not great, but it will do. I had to come in the passenger door with one wire and down the rain stripping for the other. It is really crappy outside today, but when it clears I will take some day pictures. Got to take them out again tonight and aim them properly.

That really looks great. Nice job.

 

[PaulSula]

Thanks, and thanks for all your help. maybe in the future I will add some more lights, I like the way your safari bar looks.

PaulSula -

Any reason you went with a 3rd gen switch instead of a 4th gen Taco switch??

TIA

I just didn't really care to spend the extra money for the Taco switch. Also it seems that the newer switch might be harder to wire.

Scroll up... I agree $50 for a switch is a bit overpriced.

yeah, if you need any help with wiring, ask me. ive wired 6 aux. lights to my truck and ove the outcomes, 7 lights if you include my blue light for EMS. so ive got a good idea of it all.

Wow!!! That's a good deal. Have you tried out the amber lens yet?

We're in for a "BIG STORM" on thursday, so I plan to get the lenses on for that. Apparently the amber light is better in snow and rain. But you know I will take pictures. And now I can go to the country and take some that are not just in a parking lot.

Put the amber lenses on earlier this morning, and just got through taking them right back off. They look cool, but they are not very useful. The light does not project very far because the amber lens diffuses the light as well. Anyway, here's the pictures.
