Did a lighting upgrade today. I wasn't impressed w/ the light from the IPF's and rarely used them as they weren't much of an improvement over stock headlights. Granted I didn't install the 100W bulbs, but these suckers are amazingly bright. I'm debating on getting two more to replace the remaining IPFs.

Few shots from the weekend. Just a hair over 800 mi. Other than rear leafs squeaking like hell..truck did very well.

My ome Dakar leafs squeaked a lot and solved it by separating them with a screwdriver and spraying fluid film between them. It's been a few weeks now without squeaking. I'm sure I'll need to reapply eventually, but it was quick and easy and fluid film is pretty awesome stuff so it should last awhile. I also sprayed it inside the frame rails after I drilled the holes for my sliders.

I actually used motorcycle chain lube and that worked pretty well so far.
