That wasn’t Murphy. That was an IT guy turning wrenches on a Disco. Bad combo!

Got these installed. Ok I know they over the top but the other ones I had were pretty wimpy and I am going in the woods in a couple of days.

Bumper lights are more effective than roof mounted as less glare but I can't imagine going with lights larger than 7" but they do look bright!!

Yeah update on the lights: reduced air flow quite a bit. My temps were at 215 on the highway! I pulled the alights down and dropped to 207. Still another 8 degrees higher than I am used to on the highway. Just remembered that I removed that scoop below the bumper before I left on my trip. I’ll bet that’s what is causing the other 8 degrees.

200 miles to go before we hit the trailhead. Lost a c pillar trim along the weigh *sigh*

fuel economy is ok at 12.2 and the intake temp is less than 10 degrees above ambient so the radiant barrier seems like it is doing its job.

Pretty ambitious having a fuel economy gauge that goes up to 50, don't ya think? Safe trekking, hope to see lots of pictures!!

Truck looks great by the way.
