Hi folks - I want to have some KC daylighters installed and was wondering where a good shop was in the Olympia area that does good work. Any suggestions??
Lamans Offroad is over in Lacey, I don't have much experience with them though.. They're out towards Hawk's Prairie off of Martin Way.
If you don't mind a bit of a drive, the guys up at Billy Bob's Offroad in Milton/Edgewood are pretty cool.

I agree with XJ. I won't go quite as hard on you as he did but Wiring isn't too hard a job with a little help if you can get some; and as long as you figure out how you want to hide the wiring its easy. Believe me, I had no Idea how to wire when I first started, but I had the luxury of watching my dad wire his plethora of lights up. But like he said, some wires and a switch.

not being tough. just trying to save him some $$. wiring lights is one of the simplest things to do. if we all paid a shop to do something then how would we learn how to work on our rigs now would we?

Makes sense to me man I agree. Don't think I've taken my rig to a shop for anything (minus my high school auto shop when I was in high school.)

I do have a reason to let someone else do the wiring. I have arthritis and can't get down to get under the dash anymore without having more hurting than I like. I made my own light bar for the roof, painted it, and mounted it but someone else needs to get under the dash to run the lights.
Any of you folks ever need any CNC plasma work done give me shout.

I'll get a pic of the roof light bar I made and post it up. I made my mounts to go into the the original factory tracks.Four tabs to put lights on. I was thinking a couple of flood type on the outsides and drivers in the middle. Have any of you folks run your wires through the windshield pillar? If so how hard to do was it??

As promised here are some pics of the light bar I made for the XJ. Of course I don't have lights on it yet but that is coming! Excuse the cluttered shop.
