Where u at?

JRT1393

For the summer I'm in Vale, NC, which is about 20 minutes outside Lincolnton, but I go to UNCC so I'll be back in Charlotte this fall

A couple weeks ago I bought a Cobra 25 CB radio. It's now wired and hooked up to a 102" steel whip mounted into the quarter panel on the passenger's side









I also got a 5' joint of 3/4" EMT conduit and 2 $10 sets of Harbor Freight lights, made a light bar, I'll wire it up tomorrow, but it's mounted. The whole setup cost less then $30







How it's mounted to the gutter




Tomorrow night I'll get some pics of how bright it is, shouldn't be too shabby given that each light is 55 watts

Nice light bar. Pretty simple idea.

JRT1393

Oh yeah, with my dad bending the conduit (he's a licensed electrician and has worked with this stuff for 25+ years), it took about an hour to get everything built and mounted up

These are my poorly aimed high beams (brighter in real life)


And this is just the lights on the light bar, they need to be aimed too


Now I'll be able to actually see the trail this upcoming URE trip

JRT1393

This is about 30 feet away from the front of the Jeep, just aimed the lights, needless to say I'm happy

Nice and bright. My roof lights are 55W each also.

I also have 2 100W lights from 99classic, they'll go on the bumper I'm gonna buy from him haha
