Finally got the power wire ran, these lights are blinding bright, 10 amp fuse seems fine to run 1 each on the small side lights, not enough to run that main bar, swapped in a 15 amp will see how that does

Finally got these done today, took the front lip off the cubby, cut the back off the cubby, found a piece of plastic drilled and mounted, couple pop rivets and home made L brackets and voala, I ran the wires in the dash and plugged them into the fig lighter plug so that socket is now dead till I decide to pull the console

Did rear pinion seal at lunch today and did this extension for the pinion skid plate, now it goes under the axle housing for more protection, I am thinking I want to weld it to the bolt on diff protector

Because of what we do I believe the scrap steel I used is 1/4 ballistic steel, had to bend it in the shop press and cut with plasma cutter

Tom my angle on my RR was nowhere near that. I had castor correct arms. Maybe you are lifted too high?

The angle does not look that bad to me. The front is supposed to point up a little. With only 2" lift your caster would be off a little but I don't think enough to warrant the expense of trying to connect it. At 3" is where I really started to notice stuff.
