Yellowx16's Build-up/progress (pic heavy)

[bigjim247365]

.....these don't really do it justice.....

thats what they all say...



lol

fine job, they look like they work great!

 

[yellowx16]

haha yea I thought the same thing when I posted. it's hard to actually get an idea of light output based on a picture though.

 

[yellowx16]

got some progress on the swing arm. my dad has been doing some work on it while I've been at school! all that's left is getting the latch to work!

 

[Pro-2X]

Holy hell that thing is BEEFY

 

[yellowx16]

yea it's gonna be fairly heavy but the mounts for the swing arm are 3/8" so it should still be really solid.

Are those the new welding shoes?? HAHA, Bumper looks good man.

 

[yellowx16]

thanks man, and haha yea they're the latest in metal fabrication apparel.

 

[Jack Stilts]

Duuuuuuuuude! Awesome!

 

[Edodrian]

thanks guys, here are some night pics. these don't really do it justice, it's a major improvement over the halogens that were in there. hi beams

lo beams

Your lights seem to throw more light forward.

Mine are just bright then cut off into darkness on low. Or see me from outerspace on high beam.

Also that carrier... I don't think you'll need to worry about it ever being weak.
Looks awesome.

thanks guys! Im really excited to get the tire carrier in my x!

 

[bigjim247365]

how heavy do you think tire carrier w/ bumper is gonna be?

 

[yellowx16]

not really sure yet...the bumper itself wasn't much heavier than the stock one. maybe ~15-20 pounds heavier. but the tire carrier I honestly don't know because I haven't seen it in person yet.

 

[yellowx16]

swing arm is done! pics to follow next week when I go home for the weekend and get it installed. really excited to finally have it all done! here are some pics for now. bolts on the latch are just temporary, for until I install it
