Re: new lights upfront
lol particle board, that stuff will swell and melt when it gets wet a few times.
I'm trying to think what it looks like....it's kinda Mad Max, but with a chicken coop/farm kinda twist to it. I like it, Houston, you have a go! ![]() |

Re: new lights upfront

But paint that board before you mount it.

Re: new lights upfront
I dont know how it is in GA, but in Florida, you can only have 4 forward white lights while on the road. Just be careful, dont want any unnecessary visits from the man.....

it's been aderessed allready brother... and yes that is the MOST common issue with additional "baja" style lighting is that it constricts the airflow alot of good jeeps wasted on trails because of that..

Re: new lights upfront
why the hell would you put your rad in the back?
you wouldn't be solving the problem at all because it would still be behind the cab....

Re: new lights upfront
simple solution dude is... put the wire mesh on correctly and move that light assembly DOWN to below that center bar that it currently is above...

Re: new lights upfront
I don't think that will heat up the engine as long as the fan works fine.
Someone does need to adopt poke for a couple years. I'm starting a fund, who wants to donate first? |

Re: new lights upfront
I'll adopt him, I have an extra bed and lots of mud land. Lots of knowledge and lots of tools to get the job done right.
