    BX2680 lift capability... Normal?

    Reminds me of the lesson that I recently learned where I bought a trailer with a 3500 lb axle and assumed that's what it actually could carry.

    ROPs Lighting

    I just thought I would share some pictures of my custom made, no drilling required, lighting mounts and switch. They are nice and snug and allow aiming as needed and sit high above the driver out of the way yet on the inside of the mount hopefully protected from tree branches and such. The...
