soo

spent the day working on the mistress...i put "newer" pioneer 6x9's in the door, used some rust hardener on the doors (which were actually rustier than i thought...turned out really great...

also i added some new features to the front end

tell me what ya think?

pictures!
excuse the hazy in this picture..between the sun and a ****ty cellphone camera it didnt turn out that good...but its all i got

this one turned out good


other cool part...is that the wholes that i mounted them in..are predrilled from the factory!! so there perfectly aligned

 

Looks good man, just becareful. The reason why i didnt put mine that far appart cause because usually if you're doing any kind of offroading the area infront of the tires is the first place that gets contact

 

yeah..i was thinking about that the whole time i was putting these on...but because i dont do much wheeling at all...its really no concern

not to mention..i just ran out an measured and this is what i found

and from the bottom of the light to the ground is 12.5 inches...from the lowest part of the bumper its 19.5 inches

keep in mind i plan on lifting the whole truck another 2-3 inches..so clearance wont be an issue

 

i see broken lights in your future.
will those fit in the factory fog light pockets inside the bumper?

whats rust hardener?

 

Im sorry but very soon you will be regretting your decision on were to mount those lights

rust stuff^

i think theyll be alright!!

 

I mounted mine there before. One day I pulled up to a tall sidewalk in town. COMPLETELY forgot about the fact they were there. SMASH! yeah it was crouded... They all saw it. This happened at Cornfest in Dekalb. Used to live there.

 

yeah they put cornfest out at the airport now..

 

little update on this...after some consideration i decided to try and see if i could get them closer to the bumper..even if it be just a little bit

if you look in the picture below youll see that theres these black plastic tubes..that are 1 3/4 long..they help the light pivot from the looks of it


well anyway i decided to trim them down..to about a little under a 1/4 of an inch..and put em on the truck...and they it turned out really nice (which is more that i can say for the pictures im about to post) but the lights are now alot closer to the truck itself..and again..they were free and i like the look they give the truck

on with the pics :wink: (remember 2.0 mega pixel camera phone is all i have )

Nice, I was looking into brush guards, the lights on my bumper just don't do the job when on these Michigan wooded trails. Plus my mirrors keep getting turned in by tree branches. (That's a whole different story) But I'm thinking 4- 6inch Hellas on a brush guard. hmmm
