Seriously? Does Joey have a thread to take something that is perfectly fine for 95% of us and make it fit for a moon landing or the Navy SEALS? Of course he does.

Well...for the moon, according to the AISC Code of Standard Practice... "issues such as scaling of loads and strength in the 1/6 g lunar environment, thermal cycling effects and fatigue, stiffening and buckling are briefly discussed. Important topics for further detailed study include: (1) The relationships between severe lunar temperature cycles and fatigue; (2) very low temperature effects and the possibility of brittle fractures; (3) outgassing for exposed steels and other effects of high vacuum on steel/alloys; (4) factors of safety originally developed to account for uncertainties in the Earth design/construction process undoubtedly need adjustment for the lunar environment; (5) dead loads/live loads under lunar gravity; (6) buckling/stiffening and bracing requirements for lunar structures that will be internally pressurized; and (7) consideration of new failure modes such as high‐velocity micrometeorite impacts."
I would need to rethink the material completely to begin with then rethink the protective coatings, then consider the corrosive affect of lunar dust, then...
Might be easier to design for the Seals.

Oh come on, I can't be the only person thinking about this stuff!!

No s***. I just read his entire 11 page thread on modding the bumper. Just when I thought I had never ending thoughts about what I do!!!!

And I STILL have to make the air tank kit AND do up my OBS system...plus now I'm thinking about adding some small side LEDs.

I put LED's in mine where the turn signals originally went. Wired them up w/my brights. Due to the angle, outwards a bit, of the bumper @ that location, they nicely light up the road AND the ditches. Worked out perfect.

I considered that but decided to just fill it in. I was thinking about adding them to the wings for more side lighting when off road at night. Helps to see the oncoming flora and fauna.

If you ever want to feel good about your level of OCD just read one of Joey's threads...

Then you should get the flush mounts, if they'll fit there. That'd look the best/sleek'ist.

Agreed. I was considering the Baja Designs ones. Me likey.

On June 9th of this year I was officially diagnosed with OCD and ADHD. Who knew?
You were officially diagnosed on Mud on Dec 8, 2007...
We all have our thing. You are anal retentive about overdoing things. My thing is I give you a hard time about it and hate Texas. F&%$ Texas!

you could be right
Worked on the rear a bit more, likely one jerrycan and a jack for now, 2 would stick out past the body with the mounts I have. Remember, under construction?
Supposed to cool down this week, maybe Wednesday I'll get to this pile of tune-up parts, and the correct rag joint will be ordered today via dealer. I also popped in some Silverstar Ultra headlight bulbs. The ultras were $10 off, so it was a free upgrade! Oh yeah, I still see ricklights that need to go in, and rear 1" coil spacers too.

Time for some fake "eyes" on the back of your hat!!
