    Fell off too many times, and it was on pavement. I need something that’ll hold better. I should’ve listened from the beginning

    I'm running the combo amber in place of fogs.
    You are probably going to be leading, so since you already have the light bar for distance, use the wide angle lenses and mount them angled out about 15° to get a good overview of the full width of the trail.
    Try it out and if it doesn't work for you, just swap the lenses.

    I have the sideshooters up top they get some
    Decent spread up there maybe angled 5 degrees out. Is the lower spread better? I didn’t buy or look into the fog kit but I thought only adjustment is up and down?

    Upper left of the vent. It puts my phone perfect height above my shifter so I can have my Switchpro app open and in reach of my fingers for quick turn off capabilities when I’m running all my lights on the road. I live in a remote area so when I leave Breckenridge I see no cars nor headlights on the way home as I drive over the continental divide. It’s freakin dark most nights and a ton of switchbacks so the A-pillars and lightbar make it feel Like daytime

    They don’t adj much w the pocket kit. Maybe 5* at most. That’s another reason I think the wide is best. Since you can’t really aim the spot.

    My S2pros are at a 45 and light up in front, angled, and all the way 90 to my driver side perfectly to see the ground if I look straight down

    I can take the criticism, and I gave the SCOCHE mounts away to my parents for their cars :thumbsup:
    Worked out well

    Agreed, there is very little aiming with the pocket kit.

    I thought you were going to replace the sideshooters on the ditch brackets. Is there a chance you'll get the pocket kit and put the sports there instead?

    I had never seen it before, so I snapped the picture. Did you happen to notice the suspension? @dcsleeper408 was asking and I thought it was King, but wasn't positive.

    Spotted a quicksand Pro with a Snugtop cap on highway 50 today.

    Lots in this thread already...
    Couple notes, interested in Death Valley if it works out schedule wise. No winch yet but been leaning towards the southern style offroad slimline bumper with winch and maybe this will motivate me to get that done sooner.

    @GodlessPro, I ordered the Relentless BMC plates in case I needed them for my 35s but am ok with clearance there right now. Have them in the box, may still do it later but if not I won’t need them

    Were you going to do the BMC yourself or take it to a shop?

    Nice if you were gonna order I think they have a 6 week lead time. But double check that. Maybe they have some in stock if you are lucky.

    That’s what I originally wanted until @16tunterd bombed me on the halogens.. I thought leave the sideshooters on the ditch brackets and get the pocket kit for the bajas. I would just run the plastics to help keep it clean back there.

    We can do it at the next meet if we can put one together before DV! It would be small mods though I don’t think putting on @joonbug 3.0 icons in the Lowe’s parking lot is allowed.

    That SS bumper is really sweet. None of us has a winch yet. Luckily we haven't needed one ,,,,,, yet.

    I’d take it to a shop most likely. Haven’t done it before and I don’t have a welder.

    Califab was going to be my first call to check on getting it done. I also want to find out about the bumper that they posted to Instagram.
