Re: Desert Knight (My first step to Addiction)

Cool name with the popularity of the "Dark Knight" plus you have a BD to truly match it.

My rig was also inspired by Dragon's lights.

Keep up the good work and I look forward to seeing some action photos

My 4 lights are controlled by two switches and are independent of my driving lights. I wired it a certain way ignoring one of the instructions steps. But, I don't fully remember what I did. I'm sure you could do the same some how.

Re: Desert Knight (My first step to Addiction)

The lights look great! I guess the question is what kind of offroading do you plan on doing? If you get very hard core or even moderate you may want to put some trail armor on and I'm not sure how your bar will work with your new bumper. I have the roof mount wind deflector with 2 lights and I am a little disapointed in the amount of light that it gives. If I had to do it again I would get the one with 4 lights.
Believe me when you say addiction that is exactly what it is my FJ is Killing me!
I also started with the BFG AT's and didnt like thier performance in the rocks so I went to Mt's( More agressive)

Re: Desert Knight (My first step to Addiction)

My friend, That light bar is simply AWESOME!!! Looks as if it will hold the lights steady. I envy you for the scan gauge. I have yet to add that much needed mod to Nala. Keep up the good work, and again nice job on the light bar!

OH, glad I could help! and your welcome!

I made all the wiring at the dealer so i can keep the warranty, i'm afraid i would lose it if i wire them in a different way. However, i will try to find a solution. Thank you for the info

Nice. If I lived there I'd be after some sand tires for sure.
