okay well i have another one to add. No pictures yet. I just installed a hydr. hood lift that came off of an Explorer. this one was almost a very expensive mod. i installed the lift on to the hood cross supports and under the pressure of putting the hood down it ripped out and almost took out my brake fluid bottle. But instead it just dented my hood......
Well I remounted it an did some reinforcing and got it to work really well. i'll post pics later

here they are. you can see the old attachment point... haven't got the time or patience to take it off a 1/4 turn at a time right now. Oh and i also went out and got some 10awg wire to replace stock baja wires. Are the stock roof bars steel?? if they are i might be able to make an easier mounting and ground system.

Well thanks to Troth I finally got my Baja light upgrade finished. They are noticeable brighter. Only took 2 hours to remove old wire and install new wire. total cost about $30
40 feet of 10gauge wire is what this mod took. along with assorted splices fuses and connectors. I also added another ground strap from the battery to the frame.

In no particular order.
Frame stiffeners.
Long Arms
Replaced Rockers with built in SliderZ
Flat Fenders
My old Bumper/tire carrier with a D44 hub as a spindle. (Yes it locks).
Battery relocation and OBA.
That's enough I guess.
