Rigid flush mount srq, rigid switch in overhead....

Very nice. Good pattern at night? Did you do a spot or fog pattern?

Great pattern...did spot.  They are a little high, I had to shim them even with the up/down mounting brackets from rigid, but I got tired of taking them apart figured they were close enough.  I get flashed once in a awhile, but screw it.  Took some time to get the wire up to the overhead. thought about running another wire while I had it apart, wish I would have now.

This is Perfect. I’ll probably end up with the same one. 
how difficult was it to mount it in there? Any chance you could share more info/tips for the next guy

Hey Bill,

Sorry for getting back to you so late. First remove that plastic insert, the lightbar is actually recessed a bit in that area. You will use the mounting hardware from the lightbar, and mount light bar from the bottom. There are slits in the bottom of the lightbar to use for mounting. You will not have room to mount it from the ends. Drill through the bumper, and the back plate. I inserted sleeves between the bumper and back plate, then used extended bolts to tighten up. Your license plate will be mounted lower now. I just drilled a small hole through center of license plate and mounted that way. You won't be able to mount the plate using the original mounting holes, plus plate will hide all of the lightbar mounting brackets. Hope this helps.

was looking at this one, purely because we get a lot of fog in the area. Not sure If it'll mount like the one above or not

As we speak I have a custom reducer on the CNC machine so that I can swap the rigid light bar for a Baja design s8 in the center grill.

I'll try to post some pictures once it's done but that sucker is brightb49fac3930abd8be455fc7f80d3e7a2d.jpg55003dcbccc00af7bd1ea16f15c892d6.jpg

Swapped the Rigid Radiance+ for a BD s8.

Had my friend C&C a custom bezel for the s8 since it's 1inch shorter then the Rigid.

Not sure what to do for PODs

      I do most of my yard work before 10. My summer walks are usually at Kroger’s. Inside and yes I’ll do light shopping. Usually by noon you don’t want to be outside from June to September. The mail box is a good walk. I’ll walk there about 3 times before the mail comes. My house has two floors if I feel I need to move I’ll do the stairs. I’ll walk down the lane to our rent house with clippers trimming branches along the driveway. There’s always something to do.

      There is a sign at my chiropractors office that says, "Don't quit, take a break." Sound advice.    On a 65 degree day (F) I can still work pretty darn hard (I'm 72). On a 85 degree day with a good deal of humidity it takes me three days to do what in took at 65 degree in three hours. If I work to muscle exhaustion (back) it will take me days more to recover. Taking breaks to prevent that is most useful. A lift belt has been very useful in preventing both.    Minister was giving a talk the other night where he was speaking of age and he used a clock to illustrate the human lifespan and it's ability to task. 1 to 45 was the second hand, scurry about. 46 to 70 the minute hand. Slower but...71 and up the hour hand...Hummm....until that talk I felt more like the minute hand. 😭   Then he says, the most useful hand on the clock is the hour hand. Without it you can't tell time. (Hour of the watch). I felt a bit better knowing we over 70 are useful. 🥹

      I still do oil changes on our 2 vehicles and my motorcycle. I have a robot mower for the yard but can't use it in my backyard because my wonderful dog keeps digging the guide wire up so I have to push mow it. Not much of a walker especially during the summer, just to hot. I will ride my e-bike almost daily which helps to keep my knees and hips loose and helps with my balance. That's my story an I'll stick with it. We have been in the mid to high 90's with a feel like temp of 105 to 109 for the last month with no rain. We finally got some rain which cooled it off but were still stuck with the humdity. I do pace myself and that's why it takes me 2 days to do something that used to take a couple of hours.   Peace

      Transmission Temperature Hitting 220s

      By DustMcGrath · Posted

      @newdude great info, thank you!   So opening the thermal bypass valve early (or all the time) would cause temperature to rise more slowly, but above 194F there would be no difference from normal operation?   It seems like the only practical ways to bring down the peak temperature would be to improve the oil-air heat exchanger in some way or increase fluid capacity?

      side view camera

      By rjgvt · Posted

      I have a trailer lights checker I plugged into the 7 way connector in the bed of my truck that has the 5th wheel/gooseneck hitch. It gave the camera side view with the turn signal on just like having a trailer connected but it disabled the rear bumper sensors. I would rather have the rear sensors working.
