i was getting ready to order tonight, what happen to the rear lights, are they no longer put in the bumper?

We've only done that on a few mine, adventure driven and one other ...
We dont advertise bc its a pain to do for one ... and you have to cut almost all the fins off the back of the light to get it in while dodging braces and the spindle ... if its a deal breaker we can do it for ya ... or we have been looking at some new lights from rigid that are smaller but really bright and we have heard great things about them

I bet the small baja designs lights would fit pretty easily, if I had to guess.

Thanks, I would just add something to the back I guess.
No, not a deal breaker, ordered with Endless Horizon Expedition Outfitters, but there should be something since the stock ones are lost with the tire carry.

Pulled an all nighter to get my front and rear chunks pulled so I can get them shipped off to East Coast Gears finally ... new wave of mods coming soon ... here's a photo dump of tonight's therapy and few other thingsView attachment 1163982

Yeah your actually better off putting something directly behind the vehicle bc on the corners it really doesn't put light where you want it for a reverse light ... some 4-6" single row led's up under the rear spoiler works great .. ill be doing this eventually

Thanks

No these actually ...
Rigid 98001

Still haven't made time to install it yet... I plan on mounting it under the hood ... but I want to make a mount that can be sold by WGW and is some what universal to all the pumps .... Iv got it figured out just need to make time to do it .. it will be installed in the coming week or so bc I want my lockers working for Mardi Krawl

I was thinking something cheaper and maybe a little simpler in the swing arm or between the clevis shackle mounts, means drilling, but the second one would only be a few small holes.
2-1/2" LED Back-Up Light
Sealed, 6" Oval, LED Trailer Utility Light, Adhesive Mount, 10 Super Diode - Clear Optronics Trailer Lights BUL78C3MB

 

[THeGeNTLeMaN]

yeah in the swingarm would be cool as long as they arent too deep but id suggest if you do just sending the lights to us and we can custom mount them for you ... if your gonna cut holes in the swingarm id like to add some gussets inside the arm so that its still stiff and strong

Sick looking Prado rocking your wheels

looks like the SSS are are getting some upgrades, love mine by the way.

Recently used my winch for a hard recovery and no issues with bumper.

I have been going out with the full family a lot lately, I really wish the rear bumper could carry the following:

2 x jerry can (like the double CBI)
1 x c02 bottle
Tire
Hi-lift
Cooler!!! (Or some type of rack to hold something the equivalent size, plus if it was remove able)

If you had this I would be interested in an upgraded swing arm.

I like the idea of mounted reverse lights under the spoiler. How would you suggest mounting them? I'm assuming the spoiler is fiberglass so how could a light mount/bracket be bolted to it?
