Thanks man!

Yeah, after flopping with stock belts, I knew it was time for harnesses. I know the feeling you had, and yes, it sux!

I'm wheeling at rocks and valleys all this weekend. So there should be lots of good pics from that. Stay tuned.

Here are a few pics from the weekend. The only carnage was a broken adjustment sleeve on the tie rod. So just welded a piece of tubing over to get me thru the rest of the day. Had a great time and conqured winch hill in the rain without pulling any cable.

No problem man. I was sick of smashing the stock lights and housings. So I made these out of 1/4" plate then used the trailer lights. I have backed into trees, flopped it on rocks, and abused the snot out of the housings and lights, and still not a single thing has broke with them. You will be happy lol.
