Off Road Light Mounting

[littlejimmythatcould]

I've been thinking about making a bumper like that when I get a winch, but I do not have a tube bender, so it would probably be made from steel square channel with steel diamond plate on the front.

Edit: Yeah that is a good idea but I will have to take it off when I put the doors on, but no biggie that's why they make sheetmetal screws.

you wouldnt have to take it off when the doors go on.

off topic > how do you like the BFG MT?

 

[littlejimmythatcould]

I really like 'em. THey are really tough. They are my 1st set of offroad tires, but I like them so far. they are pretty quiet on the road no humming to speak of. They worked pretty good on some trails that I went on. For now the truck sees a lot of the street, so they are the best of both worlds. Some people I know bought the yokohama geolanders for their trucks and the get stuck every time. The MT's do really good in the snow too, they clean out really nice. I really like them.

You have a decently loud exhaust system on your truck,,,,don't you

I had the BFG M/T's on my Burb for awhile, yes they provided some awsome traction off road, but they are FAR from quiet. Not nearly as loud as say swampers, but you WILL hear them with a stock style or similar exhaust setup. Basically if your truck is quiet, you'll hear them

You can also feel the lugs "vibrating" the truck some too as you run down the road, weird tires, i went back to BFG A/T's

Hey Uncle Fester

What did you do to mount the expanded metal? Make brackets? I want to gain more space. Loosing the plastic grille is something I'm looking into.

Thanks
