My two strokes are all inside orange and white enclosures.

Put my lights behind the grille, only to find that one doesnt work anymore

Time for new lights, square would work better for behind the grille.

I had lights behind the grill of my Dakota, they looked cool but did squat for forward lighting. I got about 5 sets of aux. lights in a box in the basement. I'm going to stick one set under the rear bumper for backup lights and install another set behind the grill myself.

I want to get a brushguard, then I can mount lights to it.

How did you mount your lights?

Edit:

2 stroke 4 wheeler's are much more fun than 4 stroke :P

On the Dakota, there was a cross bar running right behind the grill. Have not looked at the Ram close enough to tell where I can mount them. Another thing I'm doing Friday when I'm off work.

Only if you're a pansy, lazy, or don't know how to use them.

2 strokes are still simpler to use, lighter, and have more power for their weight than 4 strokes.

It is hard to kill a good 2 stroke.

I decided to jump in and do the trans check valve delete and found out it was already done by PO. But he just cut off the steel line on each side and used a rubber hose and hose clamps to get rid of it. What made me look at it is that I noticed the lines running to the factory cooler are covered with tranny fluid and dust. And it appears the hose and clamps are sweating fluid pretty bad. Guess I'll yank the cheapo hose off and install a good high pressure hose.
