The Lucrum LLS is my favorite mod of all time. It is both fun and very very useful. I really urge everybody to get one.
1. It allows you to put huge, non-street legal light on the road when no other traffic is around. On the trip home after a day of wheeling it is an unbelieveable safety improvement and driving aid.
Through those dark canyons, the ability to lead your turns with 4 HID's is amazing. When you turn them off you feel like you're blind in a cave. Your headlights give off maybe 5-10% of the light that the LLS dishes out.
2. It goes right on your roof rack.
3. The vertical adjustment lets you put the beam from directly in front of the hood to a thousand feet out. In the rain and fog, you won't believe the view. A little touch of the joystick is all you do.
Left and right sweeps can lead your turns or let you inspect something that caught your eye. Last night I saw a couple deer by my side of the road that I would not have seen otherwise. This was because I had the lights pointed right.
4. For general lighting it's great. You can break camp at night a lot easier. I was able to light the tent, break it down, then light the food area and pack up, then light all over the campsite to look for trash. The kind of stuff that sucks with a flashlight.
It's on my list of dream mods (as well as just about everything else on YOUR truck ).

and how did you put a video camera on the roof of your rig??
Great vid!

As I've said in other posts, I'll get it as soon as it's available.
Question, do you have to have a OEM roof rack? I hate mine and would like to get something else, but I want to know what Chris' plans are for mounting this setup before I do?
Wow, A2A! Did you mod your FJ or something? Is there a story behind it all? I hope there's a thread somewhere in the forum with the details...
(Glad to see some pics of the completed project in action!)
OK, this gets my vote for the funniest post of 2007.
Seriously.
