Looks like it puts out some serious light!

I'm really happy with the light output. Not trail tested, but turned my street into daylight with a flick of a switch!
what's the horn output like ?

It's decent for under $15. About as loud as you get for a plug & play. I think some of the mini air horns are louder but they are in the $50 range. Big improvement over the factory horn.

Busy weekend for me - Along with the light installed yesterday I installed a CB with a cheap PA speaker.

I haven't seen anyone put a CB in the door yet, and it seems like a good location for as little as I'll use it. I used the existing wiring grommet/hole locations. Used a 3/4" bit to put a hole in the door panel. This hole is completely concealed by the door pocket. I cut the factory grommet to allow for the new wiring, and will use sealant to seal it all back again after a few days of field testing.

Final product. I found a wire clip to help keep the mic cable in check and used two sided tape to hold the CB in place.
Mounted the antenna to the rear bumper. I'm a little concerned about the strenth of this application as it's all plastic on the bumper corner. At some point I'll get a real bumper but for now this should work. Put the PA speaker under the front end - sorry no pics on that.

you may want to place a tennis ball over the antenna to prevent it from hitting the body, because it is going to dance around a bit at higher speeds

Good call. I will do that. Thanks
and if you decide to get a flexible hinge, get the heavy duty - the medium one really, really dances around - BTDT

Thanks. Now that you mention it- I forgot that I did order the spring- and it it is the heavy duty. Time to check the mail...!

I like your roof rack. Can you share some info on it? The mounts etc...

Sure - It's on this build page, one page back. .120 wall 1x3 steel cut 52" long. Brackets are Smittybuilt, purchased on Amazon. $200 for 8 as I recall. This is my attempt at the lowest profile roof rack possible. The steel is very rigid and sits about 1/4" above my roof at the tightest point. I should have end caps this week to clean up the look a bit.
After my tires get intalled (315's) tomorrow, I figure I'll clear my garage door by about 2". Tight squeeze! I may raise it up a bit if clearance allows. I'm happy with it.
I appreciate the info. Nicely done.
