Put the new lights on. Had to make a bracket for the front one to bolt up. The one on the roof was involved, when I took the old one off it kind of left the green graphic boogered up. Didn't like it so had to strip off the old and cut new ones, which meant disconnecting both speakers I just mounted. Oh well, they're on and I just need to wire them up.
These Rough Country's are pretty cool, they are the black series so the bezels inside aren't chrome. Makes them look better during the day if you don't have the covers on.

Lol, I don't know! I'm sure I could I just never do it, don't know about when it's cranking though? I usually turn everything else off and run the engine for that. I've made it clip with the key off before, so I try not to starve it of power.
I had to test it out today after removing the speakers and putting them back in. The wife usually doesn't hear it turned up that loud, she was standing outside of the machine so I cranked Bangarang by Skrillex. Could only read her lips saying OMG! :eek::cool:

Just thinking Trigger, when you do a job like that , it’s amazing how many tools and other things you take out . And when your done, you look at it all, and think, where the heck did all that come from. Then you have to put it all away again. Haha.
Caper

What's more amazing is how much I have to take apart to add something. I'm usually looking at a pile of sh** that I have to put back on. :rolleyes:

Gotta ask. Did you use the Honda accessory plug, for the winch, light, horn and backup light. I used the winch and light wires but wondering if I can use one of the others for stereo power or for power for power steering. Thanks Trigger.

I know the stock battery on my P5 struggled with the underbody glow, 3 small led lights on front, stock head lights, radio, and some using of the winch the other day while plowing. Just wanted to see what the stock system could take. I have 4 cubes to still wire in as well as the whips. Still waiting on warmer weather. Lol

It's same concept as Sherp but instead fully automatic transmission and no chains on drive unit.

I only use that accessory harness for power to switches and I think indirect led glow lighting. There's no way I could run the stereo through that, it would smoke the fuse in short order. I believe that's only a 15 amp circuit?

I listened to it on satellite radio because I was on the road, the last 50 laps was crazy, twice I thought Jimmy was out, but he finished in the top ten!!! I’ll take that start for the season. :cool:
