    I finally did it I put my lights on the back of basket. This is were I planned on putting them after I purchased some good ones for the front. But after hitting them hard enough on the trails to bend the mounts and the several times I was fishing and wished I had them back there because I couldn't see crap I finally ripped all the wires out and put them on the back. The good news is I can now fit in my GARAGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I never tried because I knew the lights wouldn't clear. I do rub the top of the basket ever so slightly on the door but not hard enough to even leave a mark. I looked for the insulated clamps but couldn't find any that would work. Thats ok for the back because the mounts as is are kinda like a shelf now.

    Very cool, I have never hooked up my lights on the front of my basket and after a late night search at Camp Commander I am sure I will hook them up before the next event.

    I have lights on the back also. They come in handy sometimes, especially when backing into the driveway with 2 feet of snow on everything. Speaking of getting in garage, I forgot my rack had lights and went to a carwash ( had been in there with just the rack ). I heard this loud clunk and couldnt figure what it was until my light covers went flying across the freakin hood. LOL !! I drove out real quick so not to damage anything else and had to go down the street to another carwash where I could rinse the soap off. What a dumb@ss !!

    I wonder if this "search" you speak of was for an over due Commander????!!! [btw, john---it warms my heart knowing did come looking for us even though search and rescue had not begun looking for us yet. I think they were going to wait till the next day when we would have been in survival mode probably by then..hehe ]

    Anyway, Sal...I like the lights....I have been thinking about setting up lights on my Roof rack like that on the sides and rears too. They would really be awesome when deer hunting and having to work on one toward evening, or have to do any kind of vehicle recovery in the dark, etc...there are many application where your set up would be great.

    I am wondering if it be set up ....or if you have it set up this way.... to be able to flip the back lights forward when not in use?

    I have heard some state and local ordinance in some areas prohibt white lights point to the rear. NORMALLY, in most areas, it shouldnt be an issue as long as you dont have them ON while driving on a roadway, but you never know.

    Sal, I like your cut out look, does this leave anything loose or vibrating? I saw you instqalled your hooks
    up, can you get to them? If you put a strap on it, will it damage your bumper?

    No nothing is loose it worked out real nice. The fenders got cut just below a clip so thats stable and the bolts on the bottom of the bumper were maintained. The filter I put on gave the 4.7L a little growl. The hooks pretty much need to be installed pointing down but I gave it a try. I would have to cut to much bumper off to expose them the way I have them installed right now. I'm just leaving them right now until I figure something out because I don't want them pointing down and I do plan I getting shackles so not sure what I'm going to do with it yet.

    Looking good Sal! I'm ready to fire up the sawzall after seeing the extra rock clearance there. Just waiting to get the XK back with all new innards in the tranny and I'll lop off the edges off the bumper. I might take a bit off the back of the front fenderwell as well.
