Hey, it's just something I made to attach to the short bus but place the light below the bar in front of the winch. See attached pics. Pretty simple.
thanks!

That 76 looks friggin mental!
We always want what we can't have. lol.
There is a mad maxed 80, with camo paint, full exo tubing, hood scoop, and a full bevy of roof mounted tents and awnings sitting on 38's with chains, and the white 70 looks mental? Lol

Nice looking rig!
another shot of the 76. it also has 38 goodyear mgr kevlar
Why didn't we in the USA get any of the good stuff like diesel motors, 5 speed tranny & 70 series rigs?
Luv the 76...

That's a whole different topic... Starting with US safety standards, US big oil, and some possible conspiracy theory's to boot.

Here's what I'd like to know- how many of you regularly run high-end trails (e.g. Rubicon, cat 7 trails in Moab) with 37" tires? Many feel the tires, at this size, tend to result in more breakage when you stress the rig on difficult obstacles.
You know funny you should mention this, I was going back through the archives looking at some of my firsT posts here on Mud back in 2004ish when I started running 37's.... We are now 12yrs later and guys are running 40's pretty regularly around here. I saw someone talking about 44's the other day.
IMOP it all comes down to the driver and how you wheel. Can you break stuff on 37's? Sure. Can you break stuff on 33's? Yup.
Pick good line, stay off the skinny pedal, do what you can to beef up the drive train (Bobby Longs RIP) ect and you should be fine.

The 80 was never crash tested either. I would put more on Toyota thinking it wasn't a marketable vehicle over here.
Agree that when it comes to diesels, oil and possible other things, though.

I don't know about Rubicon and other trails in that area because I've never been.
What I do know if there's no shortage of difficulty here in AZ and I wheel with a bunch of guys on stock everything drivetrains that beat the piss out of them on a regular basis.
I've also done the Moab thing a couple times and a few of my buddies have been several times. The rigs stand up to abuse very well with good driving style, as AMMO said.
If you're not stupid with the gas pedal like already mentioned then there should be no problem. My rig is extremely heavy and I regularly do Moab and SW Colorado and also did Rubicon for the first time last year with no major problems. I had an axle seal go out is all. But I don't just have 37s either. I had my diffs built with solid pinion spacers, ARB lockers, Longfields in the front, and all ARP hardware to help make sure nothing breaks.
Of course there is a risk of damage but it's not something that happens so often that you need to worry about it.
