Hehe, that's Andy! Mosi's X is silver, has an aluminum ARB skid, and only has two round lights up front!

Sorry, I just can't help but pick on the new guy tonight!

Well I guess this would be Mosi on the same obstacle with me watching from the rock. But correct me if I am wrong

That is an excellent shot ... kudos!

BTW - how the hell did Andy mount 4 lights on the front of the ARB? Extra bracketry ... ?

ARB makes light mounting brackets that go around the main bar tube. He originally had the two above the bar, but moved them down for more visability.

Having wheel'd with him, what are your impressions of the extra 2 lights mounted on the ARB? I kinda like the look of the setup, but am curious as to whether the 2 lights would be more beneficial mounted on the roof?
Thanks

Fearless...or perhaps just stupid.

It was fun either way. A big thanks to Andy for spotting and getting me up that hill. Couldn't have done it without him! :sun:

Well Funny Rocks taught me that while lockers are great on dry surfaces, they are not quite so great when you are trying to rock climb with muddy all terrain tires. The lockers helped but there was a lot of slipping going on.

Personally I like having two lights on my ARB and two on my roofrack. I get two different angles of illumination on obstacles instead of a ton of light coming from one angle.

But some people might not want lights up high for clearance issues.

Also my IPF 960's tend to be more of a directional driving light, while my IPF MSR's have more of a flood pattern. The two compiment each other very well.

Wow, I was an inspiration for someone!

mudphud · 10-23-2001, 05:31 PM

I made it up funny rocks just fine, but on that snot-mud hill, I caused some damage...scratch and broken hub cap from my front right hub!

BTW, did someone say they had an extra hub cap I could buy? They're only $10 on xterraparts.com, but it costs almost $9 for shipping...

OffroadX · 10-23-2001, 06:03 PM

Ouch, that's an nasty scratch. Is it deep? I know a lot of 'em look nasty but look a heck of a lot better after you wash and wax.
A little epoxy will fix that cap, provided you still have the metal ring that holds it on.

mudphud · 10-23-2001, 07:35 PM

that little plastic ring is all that's left. I think I'll just go pick up another one. They're less than $10.

mindie · 10-23-2001, 10:17 PM

Here's a neat one of Schlud...
