Nice build up! Where did you source the Heyco watertight plugs?

Yes, for $7.99 a piece, they can't be beat (print out online pricing and they will match at the store)


Glass lens, zinc washed mounting hardware and bright as hell

Note, since they're spotlights, they have a rather sharp beam, so take that into consideration if you're looking for actual foglights....

Thanx


I got them from a local electrical surplus store (SkyCraft) for 50 cents a pop

wow 7.99 i saw them for 9.99 at the store, im actually looking at the 3.5" round lights for a little lower profile, i want to be able to park in the garage even after bigger tires

Before you go to Northern Tool or Harbor Frieght, ALWAYS look up the online prices of the items you plan on buying and print them out


I usually walk in there with a book of printouts and end up saving quite a bit of money most of the time


Next item I'm currently looking at is a 10k winch that sells for $599 in the stores, but is listed for $399 online

Sweet ride and very clean mods.

I passed you going south near Cocoa a few weeks ago on a Sunday, and yes the horns are LOUD

 

[sseaman]

did you run the wiring to thr lights through the rack?

I was trying to figure out who that was lol

As soon as I saw the mud sticker on the back, I just had to give'ya a honk

Had to take my mom and grandmother to Miami Airport

did you run the wiring to thr lights through the rack?

Yep

Used the old air and string trick to fish the wiring through

 

[Atoyot1031]

Looked online and they are now going for $9.99.

Just keep checking as the online prices change on a daily basis...

$9.99 is still quite a bargain for these lights though

Old-ish thread, but I just wanted to comment on the horns and tying them into the alarm system... thats genius lol. I could just imagine the look on any smash-n-grab's face as he busted a window to grab the DVD player or something. It would draw everyones attention within a mile, while simultaneously blowing out his eardrums as he ran back to his car.

 

[98 SNAKE EATER]

Yeah, it definitely gets peoples attention

My only gripe is the crappy range from the factory alarm

I can set off the horns on my golf cart from 300 feet away, but for the Cruiser I have to be within 15 feet with the remote under my chin

Gunna try using the rack as an antenna booster or sumthin

 

[FL80ADDICT]

I agree the range on the factory remote is very poor!

I also must be within 15 ft or so for it work yet my wifes honda works clear across the parking lot

Would be nice to boost the signal somehow...

Yes, it most definitely works

Just looking back through this thread and it revived my lust. Would you post some close up pictures of those mounts (rack to rain gutter)? Or post where they can be purchased? Thanks

I recently made some changes to the rack and mounts.

Here's a link to another thread I started for that:

Here are some pix:

Unfortunately, my supplier for these mounts has already been cleaned out

I sent a ton of mudders his way and I think he retired on them cause he closed up shop a while back

 

[calcagno21]
