Hi everyone, I've been lurking here for a bit and decided to introduce myself/my truck. I bought a 2002 Chawton White DII from Cambridge, Mass about a month and a half ago. I suppose it's been a bit of a bumpy ride to start out I've done a top end full rebuild on the engine, new coil packs, plugs, wires, the works. I just recently did the tranny filter and fluid, new lights, ARB bar, rear HD bumper, Hella 4000s on top, etc. The truck originally came from Arizona, then Arkansas, and has almost no rust whatsoever(a few pentip sized spots around).

Anyways, I have the Terrafirma rock sliders with tree bars waiting to go on, but the mounting holes don't line up properly, has anyone installed these? Any help would be appreciated, I know I'll have to do quite a bit of drilling, but if I didn't have to drill through the other side of the slider mounts that'd be great. Here are some photos of the truck.

Your middle picture with the stars is crazy beautiful - should be in a Land Rover or off road ad.

What exposure did you use for the shots? I downloaded them and tried to read the meta data but it was not saved along with the uploaded pictures. I'm guessing around 30 seconds? Also, did you have the floods on for the whole exposure, or turn them on right at the end? Beutiful shots.

Thanks! You may see that suggestion come true within the next couple months. It'll be on the cover of an anonymous magazine.

Unfortunately yes, it was only 30 seconds. I did however go back the next night and take an 1828.0 second(30.46 minute) exposure. Although it's not as cool because it was cloudy, here it is:

As for the photos with the lights on, I flashed them on for only about 1.5-2 seconds. They are very bright and wash out the photo very quickly!
