I was just getting ready to buy a pair. What was it you didn't like about them and what kind of light did you replace them with.
They were good. Just re did all of my wiring and wanted everything to be clean and new. I went w/ the lightforce venoms. They're super expensive, but they throw the light far. The other pair I had were bright but scattered light all over. They both do their job well.

Thank you, I just bought a nice pair of new lights from an OB member that should be better than the red ones.

The old, deploy the awning in the garage trick. Yep, the wife has given me that very same look, WTF? It’s in the garage?Good times....

The funny part is my 10 year old didn’t think twice about it. Mmm...

Question for you @diabetiktaco : Do you feel secure with a 4’ awning? Obviously they fit on roof racks on our tacos great, I’ve been hesitant buying one because I’m afraid when it rains I’m going to end up sitting in the truck lol
It did its job with the suna. I'd say for rain it's useless. I have the 23zero peregrine 180 award ring which is amazing in the rain. What type of roof rack are you mounting it to?

Great picture, I really like the way the Maxtrax look. Do you notice any more noise?
Thanks and yes. The roof rack was squeaking from vibration. I sprayed silicone on it and it shut up. Then , I heard the maxtrax rattling. I zip tied them tightly to stop that. It's mostly quiet now.

Looking for stuff to do today out of boredom. Decided to paint a tribute to my love of Land Rovers on the toyota. Also, added amber fog covers to match the ditch lights and changed the oil a little early to make me feel a little more normal.

And got the roofnest installed this weekend. I guess measuring is a thing, because I had to rearrange my entire roof rack setup this weekend and it took hours. I also had to cut the back half of my front runner roof rack off to make the tent fit. But, it's there now.
