The light bar on the hood is a bit much I think, it kind of draws the eye away from the killer hood art. Are you needing more lighting or just toying with the idea? I didnt hear about that snow storm you guys had up north but I can imagine if you got the amount of rain that we got in the form of snow then it must have been extreme. We had tons of flooding from the constant rain but nothing near as bad as what you guys had to deal with. Best off luck getting things back to normal.

I'll vote no on the hood light bar as well. It takes away from the look of the truck and it probably won't add much usable light in that position between the headlights and roof mounted light bar. Also, the Pitbull Berserkers look great on there. Even with the rather large wheel wells of the Origin body, it just looks right lowered with small tires. |

I'm with them. Not a fan of the light bar on the hood. Haven't seen any trucks that I actually liked a light bar on the hood. Seems like a bad spot for one. A good bit of your usable light is stopped by the hood. If you weren't trying to keep all the lights on the body. I'd say put that light bar on the bumper. That brace looks really good! Glad to see you're back to working on this rig and that you guys have power again. Great work as always! Can't wait to see it on the rocks! |

Thanks Casey, I like the way it changed the looks. We had 24" of very wet snow and it was just more weight than the trees could handle. The ground was saturated after a couple days of rain, Quote:

I'm hoping to put some power to the rocks next week. We'll see, I said in the beginning that this was going to be a slow build. Speaking about lights, here's a few picts of light work I did today. No real wiring done yet, just plugged into a 4-pack of AA batteries to just test. Also put on a few decals. Lighting up my tiny garage. And here it is lighting up my soldering station. Now to some Club 5 rock lights! Thanks for looking! Ernie Last edited by CODYBOY; 03-07-2019 at 09:10 PM. | |||

Hey Cary, thanks for the kind words young man!!! How are you guys doing with clean up? Hope everything is going smooth for you, I know dealing with a fire can be a real challenge! I have had it out on the rocks and with the weight of the cage the rear magnets aren't holding the body on the way I'd like. So my next post is about fixing that. A plastic toilet t-bolt repurposed. Kind of out of place so did this. Velcro holds it really nice. So tool box, Yes or No? That all I've had time for. Starting to put together some woodburning to get ready for a show in May. About half done! And finished this today Thanks Dave! All for now, thanks for looking! Ernie | |

This thing looks great Ernie! Really digging what you have done to it! Don't know about the tool box. Looks like a little much back there. Like that body mount fix you made! I'm all about the repurposing of stuff. That wood work is awesome! Can't wait to see this rig crawling some rocks!!! |

He is a nice guy, and I'm sure he will take good care of it. I have said all along that being 70 and not being able to move around on the rocks the way I use to that I enjoy the building more than the driving!!! I feel way more at home on in my shop than I do out on the rocks! I have enough $ pre-order a Pro version but not quite ready to pull the trigger yet. Just a side note, Marcia and I plan on being in SD for 5 day starting 10-3 through the 8th. We will be at the Worldmark in Mission Valley on Camino Del Rio South. Ernie | |
