Okay yea, that's the type I was thinking of. I like that vid you have of the lights on top before you installed them. In the shop, by themselves

That was my goal. I'll dig those up come springtime and plant something nicer. Whoever landscaped this place wasn't very bright.

Yea, Ford has the best zerkless u-joints, but I'm not sure about that bearing. Shoot, the u-joints in the 98 4x4 have 279,000 miles on them. Not sure how they lasted so long, -maybe my trans slips just enough.

Thank's that light bar started off as a 48in loaded Code 3 MX7000 like you saw it and it's now cut down to 36in and looks like this at the moment.

Yeah I have had a few of this moment's and the last one I can remember was the night we had to take my friends race car off his trailer with our boom truck. And as we were standing there in the driveway we all looked at each other and said are you sure we can put this crumpled pop can back together??

That's a good example of why I didn't go to college. I don't want to get mixed up in one of those parties.....
