Warn light bar & PIAA 520SMRs

[PARAGON]

This week I ordered from www.trailduty.com the Warn light bar and 4 PIAA 520SMRs to go on it.

Installation is pretty easy although a regular wrench or rachet won't work on the top bolts mounting the light bar. I had to use one of the snake drive extensions on my rachet to tighten the top bolts.

After I get my Warn bumper and winch on, I think I'll have the front end done.

I like the look of those lights a lot.

The shackle doesn't move. It's kinda tucked in there where it is as it happens. Also, it seems to seize pretty well so you have to have some tools to get it off and I've been lazy. It took me many tries to get it off when I had the bumper off putting in the Cibies. Right after that I put it back on to use it again and I haven't given it another thought, until now.

We do have several of these down at the ranch that came in one of those bulk auction sales things, so I guess I haven't placed a lot of value in it. It's not very practical and I a waiting for some new steel alloy ones to come in.

That's got me to wondering though, I wonder how many times someone has tried to run off with it and could get it off the truck.

I like the look, but are they movable to different directions?
My Hummer Offroad lights may look like the are loose and moving around, but they are actually aimed in different directions so they cover a broad area in front of me.

Thanks,(looks good!)

Ric,

Yes, they are pretty easy to aim in any direction although I haven't done that yet. As a matter of fact, I haven't completed the wiring yet. I keep having brain farts and forgetting to do things like attaching one set of the ground wires, putting a fuse back in the right place, wiring the switch up right, etc. I spent 2 hours trying to figure out why they weren't working and realized I didn't have the grounds bolted.

By the way, I am usually pretty adept at things like this and the wiring harness from PIAA is about as simple as you can get.

Also, I haven't been to the ranch (not going this weekend because we're going to the circus tomorrow) to get them aimed properly. With 4 of them I am hoping that I can get them to cover well without them looking cross-eyed or something. I am much happier with this setup than the stock lights and that's to assume the PIAAs will perform as always.

I guess I could have snapped a few other pictures from different angles. That probably would have been helpful.

I'll try to remember to do that tomorrow.

That looks so alsome I was waiting to see what they looked like on your H2 before I went and bought the light bar and lights. Now I cant decide if I want the piaa lights or the warn lights I went to a local 4wheel parts place today and checked out some lights I wouldn't mind mounting the warn 210 on the side and the sp-160 in the middle assumeing they would fit. I guess Ill see when the light bar arrives. Looks great lets see some more pics.

Damn, I wish I would have known you wanted that lightbar. I gave one away 3 months ago. One of the guys at Warn gave it to me last year when they first made them. Could've been some karma points.

[RIC-H0]

Get it back!!!Get it Back!!!
I want it!!!

My only condition would be that it has to be white.

Seth,

I didn't get to do some more pics today as the Circus was in town. I don't think there will be any issues with the 580s. There is plenty of room once you add the bar.

I get some better pics tomorrow, hopefully.

[Dan]

Looks great Paragon! That setup should put out some good light.

[PARAGON]

Now, damnit. I haven't even bothered with finishing the wiring, yesterday was a bad day, it was raining (somewhere), I couldn't find the camera, I was out of film, the batteries were dead.....

Ok, ok...I forgot. I'll go do it right now.
