One would be nice but I don't really need it. I really only use my current light bar when I go fishing. I'd rather put that money towards something else.

Looks much better though with the basket dropped. One more thing cut your antenna or get a short one. Unless you are trying to get reception from space

Don't wanna cut it. May get a shorty but will it effect my reception at all?

I don't really even see it unless purposely looking for it. I don't really want to loose reception as I listen to the radio ever so often.

Re: Bitzy's "Build"
Just went through your build thread. Sucks about your head gasket and heater issues, but glad to see you got everything fixed up! I guess I take for granted having a heated shop with a hoist at my disposal whenever I need it haha. I would have done all of those repairs for 1/4 of what you paid the shop to do it, but alas not everyone has the know-how or space to do it.
Keep at it man! I still have my very first vehicle 7 years later and I wouldn't trade it for the world!

Thanks! It cost me an arm and a leg to get everything repaired but it's running like a champ now!
