Here is where the craftsmanship and sturdiness of my Gorilla Light bar came in. Because of the bar, it saved my front end from being ripped off and protected my underbody from the sticks and rocks. I have 6 hella 500 lights and the Terra 45 winch on it too and had to use the winch to get out and the bar held up perfectly. Sadly the rain and stream crossing washed some of the mud away, but I will post some pictures tomorrow :)
Great story - cant wait to see the pics. Did you go back and snap pics of the hole you left behind?

Finally got time to post pictures of the finished bar. Took a little longer to get my buddy to wire everything up. I had him wire it the way I wanted it then I did the finish mounting of the switches (inside and out)

here is how I placed my switches for the winch and lights

Here is a shot under the hood (fuse placement and solenoid placement)

with the hood down

and for a little functionality demonstration..........LIGHTS ON! just high beams, then with the black magics on

Image Image Image Image
I'm happy :-D

Sweet - thanks for posting. The extra set on the bottom is killer - I'd pull over and let you buy if I saw that in my rearview!
:)

I posted a multi-forum summer contest - anyone who bought a bar instantly gets you in the drawing, learn how to get a second entry:

It was muddier and much browner all over before driving through some rain on the way home from my latest off road adventure to a place i had never been to before. It was a blast and I found some huge i mean HUGE mudholes, The only problem...I got so much mud/water/dust build up on my radiator that it stopped cooling my car down that night, boy was that a treat to limp it to the nearest gas station 20 miles away. All is well though, thankfully my buddy had some jugs of water in his truck and we dumped them On my radiator and engine periodically.
