My roof rack offroad light install

[RamAirZ]

Thanks Grif! This Rage basket should work for ya, about $100 shipped. Ya I did it on the cheap. I try to find a nice quality product that I know will work and last but save money doing it. I've tried these lights before so I knew what I was getting into. Total for roof basket/lights/crossbars etc is $208 for everything, give or take a buck or two. ($100 for basket, $45 for the crossbars, $45 for the lights, and $18 for the switch panel from Bart). This is why I "refused" to buy stock Yakima bars, I got my entire set-up done for less than I would have paid for just the stock bars. And IMO I think it looks damn good. (I think my bars may sit a little lower than the Yakima's too, not positive though, wanna measure yours to the top of the crossbar?). Next up is my winch install, working on a snorkel too and a few other doo-dads

If you make it out to the Moab meet next year, please don't drive behind me with those lights on....

Let me know about that snorkel setup, I've been thinking about rigging up a jeep or rover snokel to the VX- just needs the same windshield angle to look good and everything else can be fabbed up pretty easily.

I'm actually looking into using a Rodeo style snorkel that a friend of mine has from the land of Oz. It looks like it'll work pretty good all except for the windshield angle, just need to bend the tube back. I'm thinking that you MIGHT be able to use some heat and bend it back, also thinking you could cut it, reangle it and "plastic weld" it back together, sand it down, repaint and it'll look like it came that way. And I won't have the lights on behind anyone, don't worry lol. I did use them last night on some young kid weaving in and out of traffic and about took my front end off driving like a retard. After the 2nd time doing it (he would cut me off and weave back over and get stuck behind someone and then do it again) I flipped them on in his back window. Probably shouldn't have but he slowed down

yeah i can't see anything either. photobucket sucks now. i just use my facebook page to host pics now.

Ya it says I exceeded the bandwidth for this month, retarded. I can either upgrade and pay for it or wait until the end of the month when it resets lol.

I agree, it looks good & night wheelin' is way fun. Even more fun when you can see. I know this is about the lights, but I gotta tell ya, I love the body painted mirrors, I think this is now on my mod list. Together with the snowflakes, it's a great unified look.

[RamAirZ]

Thanks man I appreciate it, I get it alot about the mirrors lol

[RallyDude]

So did you get an Isuzu paint code, or was it a rattle can job?

[RamAirZ]

It was actually done by the PO and it's a pro job, matches perfectly.

[RallyDude]

Yeah, it looks great. For whatever reason, it visually gives the vehicle a more aggressive stance. I just looked at the VX-02 and it had body-colored side mirrors as well. I'll bet the other VX concepts did as well, the production units probably just used black to save on production costs. I either have to paint mine or buy an ebony.
