MOD: Brush guard and some goodies

[MrSmithsTB]

Picked up this brush guard from another OS member. Bought some new bolts and put it on. I also sealed off my "SS" vents from the rear to prevent water entry. And picked up a set of driving lights for the guard. I didn't get them wired, because mother nature decided to rain on my parade, but you get the idea. I also tinted my stock corner lenses and will be cracking my headlights tomorrow to reinstall. And hopefully finishing my light bar for the roof.





I like the look better without the lights, but I know the extra lumens down low will be helpful. So, unfortunately, aesthetics take a backseat to function

That looks freakin cool!


Really Bad-boy looking. SWEET

[bgwolfpack]

The black out Bow tie really pulls it all together.

I see the lights now, better with them off. IMO

[Trail X]

Cool, what's the brand for the guard and lights? What kind of lights are they: driving, fog, cornering?

[MrSmithsTB]

Oh yeah, that would help. It is a Westin guard. The lights are the el cheapo Blazer lights from Advance, 55w halo. driving lights.

[bobbyblaze]

Me likey Think about round lights as an alternative ?

[Gordinho80]

Looks good Bot... I like...

Was this the same OS member that sold me my tail light guards? I still wish he had the rear bumper guard... oh well...

[MrSmithsTB]

It would be the same....

Bob, I am considering them. Also considering lightly tinting the lenses. Should probably make my mind up before I wire anything.

[dirtychevymama]

Someone has been busy! As I said on the OS....I like!

[MrSmithsTB]

Here we are. Sorted out my lights. Installed and wired today. I'll get some pics tonight with them on. Have to do something about the silly looking covers.

[bgwolfpack]

Plasi-coat the covers black.

[MrSmithsTB]

I'm contemplating wrapping them in vinyl. More flexible for removing and installing.

Ooooooh, bright. Lows highs and lights.

[foosh]

Are they Distance lights or cornering style lights??? They're pretty bright... we'll see soon.

[MrSmithsTB]

Distance, fo sho.

[foosh]

I took off my top rack, and once Lights are off the front end, I will be relocating pretty much all of the lights... Distance up top where they should be, and perimeter lighting all around... Maybe i could just be BSing

[MrSmithsTB]

call me mall rated, but I kinda wanna keep my top clean unless totally needed.

[foosh]

Nah, thats what i figured. I'm only gonna put the rack on for expiditions where its useful, everyday driving doesn't require it and 500 Watts of light....

[MrSmithsTB]

You'll have to stay tuned for my winter project then. Fully customized roof basket, outfitted with front, rear, and side lights that will all be permanently wired onto the rack with one centrally located external harness/disconnect for easy removal/installation. Inside, a overhead unit similar to Mario's that will house all of the switches/relays to turn the lights only in groups or all at once. It is going to be quite intricate.

[foosh]

Thats the same thing I'm talking about... two in front two on the sides two in the rear. I'll light up everything around me!

[MrSmithsTB]

Not bad. I'm going to do four front, three rear, and one each side, with the outer ones front and rear angled slightly to the side to help achieve 360 deg coverage. Using my lighting design background to set everything up for max efficiency.
