went to update the thread only realize it’s been over a month since I even touched the buggy. The month of may was crazy busy for me. Everyone’s pulling their rigs out of storage or trying to finish up their winter builds and need parts. Hell I even had a guy paying my shop rate to fix his own truck in my parking lot with tools I gave him. as I was doing a late nite full diff rebuild on a dodge. Only thing I have as far as a update is the full hydro parts will arrive soon
And a picture of crap starting to pile up around it

Got the tailgator hater kit on. The old hit to pass might not go too well for a taller rig

Lol never thought of that

Posted this on my social media to get a rise out of the suzuki purists that there was a chance the buggy might not have a suzuki grill. Lol

Talking with the guys at nightrider they told me mounting their flood/spot lights inside down like this might result in a less then satisfactory light pattern. Unless I’m wanting to see what’s in the trees.

If your wondering these are their 80w 7200 lumen non dot legal lights

A really cool setup in my opinion. I was picking their brain about wiring the spot/flood separately. That would give who ever is in front of me a bit of a break if I was able to turn off the spot and just have the flood lights on.

Heat sink on these is huge hoping they are a bit over kill as I’m going to cut a bunch of that off.

They probably only need them if there's zero airflow, since often that type of light would wind up in a bucket or hole in a header panel that has the back enclosed.

And can you run the spots and flood separately?

I didn’t get anything done on the rig this weekend. But I did do a ton of cleaning and organizing at the shop. Also slapped some swag on the bender. Yes a PA ram works with it. Hopefully have the upper part of the cage in by the end of the week.
