It was super easy to assemble, and mount. It literally took 5 minutes to hook it all up. https://visionxoffroad.com/collecti...ts/unite-modular-led-light-bar-custom-builder

WOW! Crazy visuals. They were allowed to film during a controlled burn.

Just a guy, and his dog driving across Arizona in his 1959 VW van. How much "roughing it" are you capable of?

I was talking to another Expo member when the magazine came up and I guess I forgot to post a link to the last issue. We have another coming soon too. It's a lot of work, but hopefully it will pay off eventually. I would love to get more overlanding content. Busy making things happen on that front. https://offroadmediaventures.com/digital_magazines/vol3-issue7/

Anyone recognize the truck on the cover?

Thanks! Unfortunately I've been chained to my desk for too long working on the magazine. I haven't even shot a race for months. I had a free day 2 weeks ago so I decided to mount up some tires to my beadlocks. I got three tires swapped, and went to put the 2 newest ones on the front of the F350. The last lug nut I tightened snapped, so I had to pull the front hubs to replace the wheel studs. Good thing it happened in the driveway, and not on the road. The shanks on the front had rusted right where they go through the rotor. I got it all back together with fresh grease in the hubs when I noticed the right rear caliper was leaking.
The parking brake on the Eldorado calipers never worked well so I ordered new GM calipers without the parking brake. I have to figure out an alternative since my truck is a manual. The only thing I can think of is a parking brake attached to the driveshaft. Most people mount to the trans/transfer case yoke but mine's a slip joint. The rear pinion is too vulnerable in my opinion so it leaves one alternative; mount it by the carrier bearing. Anyone care to opine?Pinion mount

The factory brakes are for 2 wheel drive. They mount to the back of the transmission, not the transfer case. They are around 1K used. Too expensive if I have to make many modifications to get it to work.

I was out shooting a new UTV build in the desert when this cool rig drove by. Looks like fun.

With the new Military Vehicle Class it will be interesting to see what shows up.

Can anyone guess what I'm doing with this?
