Went to a car show and saw this.. All the adapters were hand machined and the M90 was converted into a top feeder. Owner was a cool dude.

This was how messed up my old exhaust was.. Replaced it with 2.5" mandrel bent stainless pipe and a 2.5" high-flow cat and then kept my 2.5" Magnaflow cat-back.

Picked up an A/C compressor off of an older Cherokee for OBA in the future. Gunna start playing with where to put it, but I do have a pretty good place in mind.

Made some brackets for my 50" bar. This is just me mocking it up to see how it'll look. Getting the brackets welded onto the roof sliders on Monday.

Today's project: Mounting the roof sliders more securely...

Here's how they were intended to be mounted. With the original roof rack screws.

I thought that was a chincy way of doing it, so I'm replacing it all with 1/4" bolts with fender washers on the inside of the roof sheet metal. And nylocks and silicone to make sure it doesn't loosen up or leak.

May I ask what those giant LEDs are for, where you got them and how much they were?
Those would make killer reverse lights for the LED tails I'm building

I'm going to be keeping an eye out for those LED tails of yours because I'm still trying to think about how I want to do mine.

My plan is to basically clone these (http://www.scorpion-led.com/proddetail.php?prod=S0700).

The 12v-32v DC-DC converters were ~$90 for two and iirc the LEDs were $8 each. Both off of ebay. I don't remember how much the heat sinks were, but they were probably $5-10 from ebay. I'm using the HF halogen work light to house it all (7.99 each and rubber housing). The lenses and reflectors were bought from Scorpion LED and were $18 and $16.50 each respectively.

And I'm making them to replace the HF 100w lights on my bumper so they match the rest of the LEDs. Lol. I'm going to post a ton of pictures of how I made them after I finish them.
