      more progress…

      since i was lucky enough to be snowed in today;) i got the time to install my amb connector in my x5 chassis and do some work on land cruiser

      i managed to get a decent looking light bar built and install a mounting bracket/screw for the roof rack portion.

      looking sweet as dood… what’d you make the roofrack/canopy cage out of? That looks like solder on the corners there… coming along awesome though

      i was supossed to make something else today but i got a great idea and just had to explore it before i moved on to the other thing.

      i’ve been asked many times if i’ve made a brush guard or if i plan to, well i did today!
