  1. The logo looks like what's on my keychain, and the rest looks like a generic door nameplate....looks homemade/oneoff
  2. Two things. 1) Big words coming from a guy with .com in his username 2) Noone's bashing, I too am a little concerned with your cage design, specifically because I remembered you having small children riding in the vehicle on a vid you posted (atleast I think that was you) 3) The cage isn't bad, and with a little triangulation it would be fairly good, but the way you have them welded to the existing body metal is not a safe way of doing it, that metal/roof was INTENDED to crumple in a fashion that would serve to satisfy regulations. The second you change that design, the way it crumples is going to be altered, so now if you roll, that nicely built cage is just going to be squashed down to the framerails... 4) Although the only final way to identify a good weld is to get an xray/ultrasound of the weld, the general image of the bead is a decent method of evaluating the integrity. A good weld almost always looks good, and a bad weld almost always looks bad
  3. Did you wire in your own keyless entry (I'm assuming as much based on the nature of your question..) What unit did you use, and what wires did you tap into when wiring the unlock/lock features?
  4. What they said^^ I think your tires may need some air, but thats just from the picture, could be me!
  5. I'd say either go with the xrc8, or spend BIG bucks and get a nice warn. Personally, unless I found a used warn in great condition for cheap, I'd go for the smitty.
  6. If it is, its not much...looks pretty centered compared to the license plate
  7. Although I'm intrigued to how well these kits work, and what your inevitable results will be; I must agree that it is somewhat of a poor decision....however it's just that, your decision. Let us know how you like them
  8. That is actually the same spare carrier as yours, but he either put that extra piece of steel on it, or it was a factory option in his country
  9. Mmmm, I forsee my dorm fridge having some new inventory!!
  10. In one post, you have effectively made my both thirsty, and hungry Skittles + those barrel sugary drinks= my childhood!
  11. Hah, I forgot I participated this month! Close race though!
  12. Think of who would watch it, wanna be teens who have only worked on a car in Need for Speed and Forza (forza's not bad... ) where the entire basis is the engine, and paint! Not a whole lot of people would watch a show that details suspensions and such, so they only have a few shows that detail that stuff..
  13. As someone said up there^^ Its mainly suppressor vs silencer....and the fact that they have all the licenses and such Tracers are legal in alot of places AFAIK...there's a couple videos on youtube I saw a while ago of some guys shooting mini-propane tanks with them...interesting, dangerous, but pretty much the only purpose I can think of
  14. I have a welder, and have been planning on making one for myself since I did my lift...however I am living on campus right now so I can't really build anything... If you can wait till this summer (may)I'd be happy to crank out an additional one
  15. put em on your brushguard. You already have it, it protect them, no added wind resistance, they will look better (in my opinion), easier wiring/mounting, and if you need/want to put light covers on them, you can do it relatively easily vs on the roof(depending how tall you are). You also will not worry about adding 6-8" to the height for parking/drivethrus/carwash Although it does look like you have a roof rack, it's still way more of a PITA to mount them up there To mount them on the pipe supports of you brushguard- 1) Drill through the pipe, run a longer screw 2) Weld on a light tab (imo the most reliable/proven method) 3) Use one of those chainlink fence things that someone else just used, they basically wrap around the pipe and have two pieces of metal that meet as a tab, when you tighten it, it clamps down on the pipe making a pretty easy, cheap, and adjustable light mount. http://www.fencetraders.com/chain-link-fence/chain-link-fittings-and-hardware/brace-bands/cat_192.html
  16. Lol, for all that work I'd rather go grab the harbor freight foldable trailers! (and when I get my new bike, thats exactly what I'll be doin!)
  17. http://i193.photobucket.com/albums/z48/unccpathfinder/URE%20Aug%2015%202010/DSCN5275.jpg haha, I love this picture...first time I saw that mud spray on my pathy I was rolling on the floor, just amused me! (the spray from the fan)
  18. I couldn't remember if it was P or N...I just got back usage of 4lo after my body lift!! (yes..THAT long ago haha)
  19. Michigan (the leading state of trail closures and land locks) has gotten alot done with cold hard cash combined with online petitions and letters to the statesman....however insignificant anything HELPS signed!
  20. and here I was, about to give you ideas for colors similar to what I used in my man-room back home..... So foolish!
  21. The one word pezzy knows of Spanish... Can't say I'm much better though! Welcome!
