Reminiscing about Princess

I hope this isn't chat, (nice front bumper).
Spring cleaning, I came across an old issue of Toyota Trails from the year I bought the Rig of Mortis, had to share.

Can you run all those lights off the stock alternator?

Did I see that it was for sale again? I hope it goes/went to another mudder.

As long as we're talking about the same Princess... Whats the purpose of the cables running from the rack to the front bumper?

I might be totally wrong on this but I seem to remember it having something to do with keeping branches from smacking the windshield ??

yup!!!! also keep things from hanging up on the rack so branches rid up an over instead of first hitting the truck and then getting stuck on the rack.

Hmm, sounds like a good idea. I could see myself putting my face right into them if I went to do something with the windshield or hood.
