Well here's the latest I have done to my truck. I got my digital camera working again it involved some tape engineering but it works for now. Anyways I added 2 Hella 550's to my rollbar and welded on some light tabs to my bumper added 2 hella 500's to it. I also made some windsheild brackets for some hella 500's which I only have one for now since the other one is broken from the last woods offroad run. I'll be adding a second hella 500 light to the passengers side. ![[Linked Image]](http://memimage.cardomain.net/member_images/4/web/808000-808999/808560_184_full.jpg) Closer view of the hella 500 on the windsheild ![[Linked Image]](http://memimage.cardomain.net/member_images/4/web/808000-808999/808560_182_full.jpg) The bracket pretty simple 3/16" flatbar welded together drilled some holes and secured them with self tapping bolts ![[Linked Image]](http://memimage.cardomain.net/member_images/4/web/808000-808999/808560_183_full.jpg) Got Light? ![[Linked Image]](http://memimage.cardomain.net/member_images/4/web/808000-808999/808560_185_full.jpg)

Very nice <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />, i was thinking of doing the same thing with the light on the A pillar, because the lights the cops use are more bucks than i want to buy new, and i havn't been able to find any around town...

Very nice! Nothing helps like daylight at night! For those interested, A-pillar lights can be found here. I'll be picking one up after the first of the year. Of course, if lights aren't your thing but you still love wheeling at night, there's always this.

Can you pivot those easily?
I've always wanted to put some on my pillars like that, but I wanted to be able to turn them easily enough by hand, down and to the sides, to serve the same function as rock lights, basically. I love lights at night.
========== Got some snow up there, eh?
It was pretty nasty here last nite, but not nearly as bad as like Brookfield or Killington. Or you guys up that way. We only got slush/1" of snow. Brookfield had like 6-7".
I got to test out the 4wheelpeel on the new truck, regardless <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/notooth.gif" alt="" />

Ya pirate they tend to flame alot. I can't be in 2 places at once unfortuately. It looks like it has errupted into a big arguement between two people on the thread over there though.

I got to test out the 4wheelpeel on the new truck, regardless <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/notooth.gif" alt="" /> It pivots ok. I don't really move them side to side at all just up and down. We got a few inches up here like 4-5" of snow today. I got to drive my truck around the parking lot in snow. I have yet to drive it in snow on the road but it is freaking weird being locked front and rear. It drives totally different than what I am used to. It tends to want ot track straight when you turn until you slow the truck way and slowly try to turn. I wouldn't want to drive long distanceds like that. I mean I don't mind it offroad but on the road is a different story.
