Why would you mount a lightbar all the way back on the shell

Half the light it projects is just going to go straight into the roof and be wasted
>>
>>17457683
likely didn't care, only fucked up the shell with brackets and not the roof.

Not mine, but it's from /o/. Was at the Jersey meet last weekend. Owned by an an/o/n by the name of Volkska. It now has a Jeep Wrangler windshield and a VR6 engine with a manual.

Please, my feelings

Its a Rigid 50" bar, made with road drivng in mind. No visible loss of light due to the bar sitting a bit over the roof, and the good concentration of the beam. Only problem is that it kinda illuminates the mirror housing. "Fixed" by plastidipping the parts of the housing that get hit

As for why I mounted it there; shell already had two brackets so I figured I might aswell use them. I have been thinking about maybe mounting it on the roof itself to get rid of the mirror light and also make the bar sit lower

You can barely see the brackets in this photo

Oh, the fury of a thousand spergs

Nothing much really. The alternator stopped working about a month in, but started working again the day after I had ordered a new one.

Little bit of rust, nothing major or dangerous

Suspension is starting to get worn, especially the rear (offroading with several hundred pounds of tools, fuel and machinery in the back may have played a part), but I have a full Old Man Emu 2 inch lift kit coming

It's more disappointing to know how weak and gutless the powerplants were on these cars. Rolled up sock in the underpants.

I can't remember the last time Mustangs had functional scoops.

Shaker hoods on 1st gen were all function.

But yeah, I know.

Swerve to miss hitting a deer that ran out in front of me on a mountain road, lost control and hit the rock wall on side of the mountain

With how hard I hit it, the car took it like a champ. That car is somewhat rare being the platinum edition and I loved it to death

Fuck I hate these situations.

>hit deer and risk injury and totaling car
>swerve away and risk injury and totaling car

Fucking DEER.

Best bet is to just buy something bigger and stronger, that way you can make a conscious decision beforehand that you'll only ever hit the deer. If I'm doing more than 50kmh, I'm not swerving, I'm planting my foot on the brakes and hoping to mitigate the impact damage.

Getting a ram bar will help. I'd say getting something with proper body on frame will help too, but nowadays that basically means a truck or a 4Runner.

>>17462444
Honestly you should never swerve for deer.

Basic liability insurance at least covers wildlife here, so you are good if you hit bambi. Hit the ditch? Not so much.

Not quite done, this is as far as I got before I hurt my back. Once I get the flat black all off I'm going to clean up the red and white. might repaint the white, but the red i will leave alone.
