Ahhhh, good ol' Harbor Freight...I think they would look good in green, if I say so myself. I actually like the shape of those better than the ones I have one my truck. I'll have to look into a pair of them. Can you post a pic with them turned on?

I found a set of Buckshot Mudders that have never been mounted. There's only two of them, though It's not very helpful and I'm not sure if the CL post is legit or not but it is all I could find.

Wow, that was fast! Based upon your pics, I think I'm gonna have to look into those lights. They look super bright compared to mine. Thanks for the response!

No, I'm not near Ephrata. That's up in Lancaster, PA. I'm down in Maryland. For some reason Craigslist decided that those would be a "local" result

The Harbor freight winches are good, in my opinion. My dad has 8000 pound winches on his '68 Chevy and '72 Chevy pickups and we mainly use them to pull trees down. They're cheap and get the job done!

Also, I know you just took a bunch of pics, but can you take a pic of the mounts of the driving lights?

And yah I'll get some pictures posted here in a little bit I'm just getting back from the mountains, tried to find some snow but pretty much didn't find any trails. But just driving thru some deep snow and I got pretty bogged down didn't catch any pictures tho since it was 4am

So the light mounting is really a pretty simple design. its got a gear kind of set to position the lights from up and down and you can change that when the bolt is loose. the light has a bolt that drops through the steel and a lock washer and bolt that tightens it. simple install!

The Badlands winch? It's a pretty decent winch for HF. A buddy just stuck the 12000lber on his 89 and pulled the front end of the truck off of the ground from a tree

I got the 6,000lber for Christmas and ordered up the Trail-Gear winch mount (future plate bumper building in the mix). The quality on it, just by touch and visuals, is decent. It also includes a roller fairlead. Toyotas really only need something in the 6,000lb range... snatch blocks are great for doubling up load capacity.

Better get some pre-split corrugated Wire Loom on those wires behind the bumper, to protect those nice light wires, for the 3/8 10' one at Menards are really cheap and at wally world too :}

I might get some or those lights too, Kawasaki green will really stand out, if the grille on the lights are plastic, get some quality paint for plastic, so it doesn't start to peel, closest HF is 45 miles from me...

Thats a nice winch, have you got a chance to use it yet? Im curious how much it cost. I like that bumper you got in the making. I really need to learn how to weld...

Well I got bored today and I've been wanting to do it for awhile so I smoked my tailights out. In the process I did the turn signals as well, and figured Id paint my lights green Also just a few random interior shots.

Had some time today before work so I decided that I might as well pull of my skid and repaint it since there was some surface rust and looked pretty bad. Went with the green again and my hockey number 5.

Loving the green on the skidplate and lights. Just curious, did you use Krylon Fusion spray paint for plastics on the lights?
