Finished!

i got the rock lights finished last weekend. the lights for the rear are just behind the lower A arms facing back, this gives me alot more spread on the lights. i need to do some final adjustments the lights rub on the tire if i am max turned and flexed a lil (ie body roll) but here they are

just an update... i went wheelin over the 4th of July weekend and shattered all 4 of the glass covers of the cheap lights. and a week ago i went wheelin again and crushed one of the lights on a tree stump, and ripped the 2 front lights off, yes, the ones that are tucked way up in the front bumper, i think going thru the big puddle did it. so the 4 cheapo lights are more or less distroyed, but the 2 tractor lights still work great... so moral of the story, was they were cool while they lasted (a couple weeks) but i need to find a better way of protecting them

goto Homedepot and buy 1/4 inch chicken wire and wrap the lights in the wire, part of my problem was i spun my tires in reverse a couple times not thinging about it sending a TON of rocks right at them... i can take pics and show you how i mounted my lights. i used 2 holes pre threaded on the frame rail to mount a bracket to. it worked out really nicely.
