    Installed my 20-in light bar, ran all my wiring, and connected my ditch lights. That was a fun process. First time hooking up lights in a vehicle. Totally proud of myself, and they look amazing at night. I still have to get LED headlights and I think I'll be squared away for a bit.

    Stuck for a minute out here in Omaha Nebraska. As soon as this storm passes I can get back home to Kansas and get to driving my rig! This 73 degree weather sure beats the 88 degrees back home.
