I've been debating putting rigid amber duallys in my fog light spots or getting a 10" light bar on the bumper instead. Got any pictures of them installed and on? How do you like them? Do they blind oncoming traffic if you're running them on?

Judging by your location I'm assuming you don't see very must dust. Amber lights are really only useful in those conditions. I get a lot of dust when out in the desert so I love them, not only do they help you see more through the dust but if there is someone in front of you then they'll see you easier. But depending on your budget I would go for a white light bar. It will give you more light output. I'll probably be getting one soon as well. If you do get the duallys and fog light mounts I would opt for just white. Amber is easier on the eyes compared the white so I don't think amber would be to bad with oncoming traffic.

I'm doing this all by myself in my garage by the way! 
Lots of profanities are being said! 
But it's all good because I'm learning a ton. 
I will definitely be posting some pictures when it gets done. Although I may a setback on getting the set of wheels I had setup to get so it might be a little longer till I get my tires on.

So after many hours and a little screaming. I'm basically done with my lift. 2.5 inch springs, bump stops, Elka Reservoir shocks, Rock Krawler adjustable control arms Northridge 4x4 bolt kit etc.. The Teraflex Front track bar will go on once I get a torque wrench and tighten everything down tomorrow, I got the wrong sway bar disconnects too so I ordered the right ones yesterday. 35s will go on next week when I get my wheels. And one more thing, it seems that my rear driver side is about an 1 1/4 inch taller than the passenger side. Any ideas??

After waiting about 2 months I finally received my Trek Armor seat covers today. I got both front and rear in Black and Blue (probably why it took so long...not a very popular color combo). By the look and feel of them it seems they were definitely worth the wait, the blue looks to be a great match to my Cosmos blue. I'm gonna try to get it all done tomorrow before work but we'll see. I'll post some pics.

Just a little update here:
I'm still waiting to meet up with a forum member to buy his Pro Comp 7069s!! (no new wheels means no clearance for the rear sway bars so no 35s aswell). Still don't have my seat covers on yet but I mounted up my ARB compressor and I'm having a little trouble with the wiring harness and the sPOD (to many colors and ends to wires for me). I finally received my Teraflex Hinged Carrier accessory mount and it seems my rig won't fit in my garage with the Hi Lift attached
. I guess I'll only mount it when I'm going wheelin. And last but not least I just placed an order from Northridge 4x4 (they are taking all of my money and feeding my addiction) for a Warn VR10000-s a little while ago.
Slowing but surely I'm making progress.
