Yeah, that's kind of what I figured, once it's on the road and I get the lift in it people will be more interested, which makes sense haha. Also I decided even if no one looks at it at all I want to have it for my self, it's nice to have all the pictures of what I did and when I did it all in the same place and organized like this.

The quality is fine. I threw them on my roof and didn't want to worry about replacing an expensive light every time I bash them. As far as the brightness I couldn't say because I converted mine to HID

Haha yeah, I'm lucky enough to have a garage with a lift, it makes things super easy. Also I've been thinking posting how I did the rockers and all the pics in the fabrication section, I haven't seen anyone else build them the way I did, and they're super sturdy.

So I got it painted with some cheap single stage for now, because I sent it off to the mechanic tonight. Hopefully I'll have it back by the end of next week then on the road not to long after that! I'll post some pics in a few minutes.

Well its finally on the road, after almost 2 years... now I'm trying to decide if I want to put the 3.5" lift in it now or wait until I can afford a 4.5" lift...
