i was going to say something along the lines of the 6.0 owners needing good under hood light...but that would have been far to easy just kidding guys!

Thread related o plan on getting a light bar for the roof and my idea is for 2 flood lights angled slightly out for wide view, 2 hybrid spot flood, and one spot light dead center. Those would be my off-road lights for nearly 180° frontal vision

reminds me of last winter i pulled up in the right lane on a road then dropped down to 1 lane after the intersection. a guy in a very nice SS trailblazer that looked and sounded to have a few mods was in the left. he did have snow tires but no self control...as he sat there spinning all four i slowly laid into it and walked right past him...more power is always good but i find slick conditions really even up the odds. thats when good studded snow tires really come into play atleast on our road conditions.

i'm trying to decide how i'm going to add more rear lighting..still pondering that one

few changes/additions since the post in 2011. added side lighting



LED reverse lights



front DRL's changed to white LEDs



LED taillights/ ID and brake light above the plate





did interior LEDs also but no pics as of now.

Ahhhh,so you're scared of the power an old, unreliable 6.0 makes, so you go for the drivetrain. Want me to keep the e brake on too? Snow, ice, or marbles I'll stay ahead just so I don't have to see those upside down taillights.
