Put my last two lights on. Moved the one I had mounted high rear and put it low front that flashes amber/white (pic 1). Put a brand new 2 head on the high rear that's amber/amber (pic 2). Here's a quick around since it was raining:

Cut steel to build my overkill shackle relocation brackets. 5/16" wall 3" box (paid the metal guy for 1/4", oh well), 1/4" angle, 3/16" plate. Things are gonna weigh like 15lbs each lol
Then I just need brake lines and an 8.25 from my friend and I'll be ready to put my lift on. Then I need longer shocks, control arms, 33s...My damn job needs to give me more hours!

because autozone sucks at everything except batteries and brakes, and by god you better know the part # you're looking for when you walk in because the monkeys at the counter don't know how to find anything.
