welcome to mud.
Were having a bumper party at my house in two weeks, Nick, Steen and Smittycrusher will be there. It would be a good time for Griffin, Peymon, Yeti and Taylor O to drop-by...as long as you don't mind being attacked by my wife's ferocious Yorkie.
WTF is a bumper party? Do i get a free bumper? cause i could really use one or two.....
And no Nick, your POS stock rear doesnt count.....anyone elses stock bumper for that matter
You guys get to celebrate Steen's and my good fortune!!! Also, you are welcome to bid on the following from my garage:
Broken axle
OEM UCAs
OEM skid
OEM front bumper
OEM rear bumper
OEM roof rack
Destroyed ring and pinion
OEM interior light bulbs
OEM 3rd row seats
OEM differential brace
OEM harmonic nebulizer
OEM rear springs
OEM torsion bars
OEM stereo
OEM sunroof wind deflector
OEM hood bug deflector
1/2 of an OEM CV boot kit
Hella 500s w/ white and grated covers
and probably a whole lot more...
You guys can also play around with a bunch of LEDs to see if you like them. There will be enough Stella to kill a herd of elephants. So bring your RTTs b/c I can only have 2 open guest rooms.

Would love to do a meet up but it may be a while before i can carve out the time. Don't give up on me, though.

Gotta love the 100 Forum... This new guys posts up pics of his new ride and people start making jokes and giving him a hard time then hijack the thread to organize a wrenching party and invite him over... Can't take anything personally around here... Most people are just trying to help even if it comes across as harsh sometimes...
Taylor O - if you want some good laughs lookup old threads from some of the other guys giving you a hard time and see what their rigs looked like when they first got them.

Very true, lets not forget where ole 2000UZJ began. This one does not even have the chrome brush guard either, albeit there are no permanent holes in here.Taylor O - if you want some good laughs lookup old threads from some of the other guys giving you a hard time and see what their rigs looked like when they first got them.

this one gets my vote for thread of the month. Painful to watch at the beginning, turned somewhat entertaining, with a little useful tech sprinkled in. And the OEM harmonic nebulizer put it over the top- I spit coffee on that one. 
good one, Pfran.
come to think about it, we're about due for another one of those threads.. Carry on!

Its about time.....I've been counting the days
I forgot how dumb you were back in the day.
Loud hasn't ripped his spotlight off for two reasons:
1. It's connected to the interior of the truck by a 3/4" thick beam of steel that is drilled through the a-pillar and secured via a bracket. It's designed not to come off.
2. It folds down and out of the way when not in use.
Taylors lights have neither of those things going for them, and on top of that the sheet steel of the hood is pretty thin. Very little speculation is going on here...if they get caught on something, they will either be ripped off, or severely deform the hood.
That being said, I don't think they look bad at all, and if they put out usable light then that is great. I'd really like to see pictures of how they are mounted, but without having that info, I will suggest the following to taylor if he wants to keep them:
1. As previously suggested, consider going with a matte hood blackout or matte clear coat to reduce glare (if that becomes an issue)
2. Make sure you have a nice beefy backing plate mounted on the inside of the hood to increase structural rigidity in that area. (you may have already done this, but again I have no pics to reference).
3. Consider adding some limb risers to help deflect any potential snags. They won't completely protect the lights due to where they are mounted, but will help some.
Mud is a learning experience, so relax and take it all in. Post some pics of how they are mounted and wired up if you don't mind. I'd like to see more.
Welcome.
