Just received my Rigid Industry LED light bar and ORO LED undercarriage lighting. Going in tomorrow.

Putting in 5.13's Monday. My pinion seal went kaput so I figure now's the time. Next week Top Ramen, everyday. Wife and kid too!

Me too. I hope it throws off some good light. Last summer had to do part of the Rubicon in the dark. Had a real hard time seeing right below me. You can buy additional lighting from ORO, which is easy to splice into. When I take her in on Monday to swap out gears I'll have the guys tack weld the nuts on to the light bar bracket. Any crackhead with a wire cutter and crescent wrench will have it in seconds.

I went with standard crimps instead of the heat gun solder connections

Sometimes you gotta laugh at your own mistakes, like leaving all of your shrink connections out in the sun

Lightbar in…will most likely tack weld bolts just to try to keep it from being stolen…will post with lights on once sun goes down a bit. Fun stuff.

you were waiting for sun to set I bet looks good. seems like it would be good to have some light in front of the front tires and behind the back tires. you can add lights to that system right?

A decent amount of changes the past month. Here's Stage 1 highlights of my project "All In".

- 40" Trail Grapplers/TR beadlocks
- 40 spline Currie Dana 70 rear
- 35 spline Currie Dana 60 front (one ton knuckles)

Really happy to get the spare from hanging off my back too!

Beast! Question... Why do the pumpkins angle the way they do with the driveshaft connection pointing toward the ground? What is the benefit if rotating the housing like that? Increased ground clearance I assume, but are there other benefits? And wouldn't it make the connection to the drive line weaker?
