| Well , a crap load of mods latly. Big Red is really ready for the woods now....... Check it out and tell me what you think.... Ok here is the new HID's all mounted up. I welded me some brakets on the front bumper and recoated it. These things are Bad Ass.... :D here is just the stock lights on high beam only . notest the gas light on the other side of the yard. its about 75 yards away , you can bearly see it.... Now here is the same shot with only HID's . This pictures does not do them justes at all. there way briter than this. in real life. Notest how you can see all the bushes. and them trees on the other side of the driveway is about 125 yards away. its amazing... here is looking straght into the lights. brite as crap. Here is the new backup lights. after mounted up. Here thay are on at night. you can see in the bed and about 60 feet all behind you. i put them on a seperate switch to turn them on when you need them. Here is the new switch panel. and the new ipod sound system. I used a marin Amp i am useing the VDP speaker bar. it sounds great. Thanks to Ronnie for all his help .... Here is the New miars fender flares all mounted up. Big Red is all cleaned up and ready for winrock. I think i am done other than makeing a radio mount like Pates on the roll bar between the seats..... I guess that enough work for a couple of weeks.. i will think of something else when we get back from Winrock What Da Ya Think..... | |

| Chris. I would recommend a half windshield as the next Mod for those winter rides. :cold: I would recommend the good quick release clamps for easy removal in good weather. | |

| Full windsheilds definately have their benefits. The reason I like the half is I like to keep it on in the summer to help keep mud and water from coming over the hood into the cab, and to help keep brush out of your face. But, still want some decent air flow to help keep the cab cool and the dust out. It is a compromise.

Yes Chris. Those Maier splash guards Ron and I have from Hunterworks are worth their weight in gold. They will keep 90% of the mud from coming back off the front tires. | |

| I have a full one to install with those quick release clamps. Should make it nice when the weather is good, and super nice when it's not. | |

Marty , personaly. i like the open face in the summer. But you are right. in the winter. that cold wind can be mean. :cold: i might do a windshield for winter. and take it off for summer.... Thanks for all the comments. it was all alot of work but worth it. everything turned out as i planned. Except for my Amp incloser i made on the battery box. i was so sure it would fit. after wireing and mounting everything. the dam Hood would not close..... :evil: I was pissed. i dont make mistakes like that. i was to sure of my self and it costed me. i cant mount my amp where ronnies is. couse of the power steering. So i ended up mounting it in the glove box. and it all worked out. | |

| Big Red it still brings honda to mind The name BIG RED did not just get adopted to the new SXS honda had a three wheeler named that back in the day, Big sticker on the tank. I think it was their first one with a 350 motor but could have been a 250. | |
