If you do, I would buy 9 inch 14 rim front wheel

 

[rubicon05]

no i'm going to keep them for right now in the case of any warranty issues....I don't want them blaming the aftermarket wheels or tires for any reason.

got a few more things done over the past few weeks....winch installed - Warn 4500S

Rigid A-series mounted below taillights - wired into the back up alarm wire so they only come on in reverse.....

finally put 40 miles on last weekend too....mainly backroads, but so far i'm pretty damn impressed with this machine!

 

[rubicon05]

next on my list is a roof and skid plates but still undecided on them as far as what to get. I'm not a big fan of the factory Honda roof. Both are big $$ so i want to make sure i get it right

Looking good!! Like that light bar with the blue back light.

 

[amc019]

Which winch mount did you go with?

 

[rubicon05]

The factory Honda mount that Warn makes for them

how was it for using the back up alarm to run reverse lights? can u do that without factory switch panel if so what do u need?

 

[Jeffro]

I'd like more info about wiring the reverse lights into the backup alarm also. For those lights, did you just have to drill the two holes for the screws to mount them?

 

[rubicon05]

I drilled 3 holes....2 holes to mount and 1 hole to run the wires through. I just spliced into the backup alarm plug.....it's in front of the driver side rear tire. A quick search on here and you can see a pic that @Hondasxs posted.

Thanks, I found it. I really like that idea and those lights look great there. I need to copy that but those Rigids are high. I wonder if there are any cheaper ones made like that. I'll have to look for some or just bite the bullet and buy those since they look so good!

 

[rubicon05]

There are cheaper ones out there

 

[rubicon05]

Do a quick search on Amazon for led rock lights...I just prefer rigid brand!

 

[Jeffro]

50" Rigid Radiance...this will have a blue back light as well..blue is my sons favorite color

How is your 50" mounted and what brackets did you use?

 

[rubicon05]

i ordered them on Amazon....very similar to these....
Amazon.com: Auxmart 1.75 Inch Bullbar Nudge Bar Mounting Bracket Tube Clamp for LED Light Bar: Automotive

So the 50" is wide enough to mount to the side bars and 1.75" clamps fit even though that is 44mm and the tube is 45mm? I guess it's a tight fit which is what you'd want?
