bbuschs' stealth Rubicon build by bbusch

I have had them about 11 years now and use them when I feel my HID's are too bright (say a low profile vehicle in front of me). They are a dual beam unit so the driving beam is nice for fog and the spot beam is nice to really light things up, however now that I have the HIDs (which are brighter) I don't really use the spot beam anymore.  

Best photo I have of the spot beam

Just the HID's

I really like the cage. It was fairly easy to install just there are some tricks to make things easier as you go through the install. It took me about 10 hours (slow going btw, also my first time to install one) to get it in there then later I trimmed the plastic interior windshield pieces. If you continue to run roll bar padding make sure you cut small x's in the padding above your head when installing the bar above your head, if you go too big with the x cuts it won't look as nice when you are finished. Take your time tightening everything up and do it as evenly as you can for a quality fit and finish.

Alpine unit with Focal Polyglass speakers in the dash pods (CVX 100) and in the JeePods on the roll bars (CVX 165). Alpine PDX 5 (75w x 4 RMS + 300 mono) pushing the highs. I have a JL HD 750/1 mounted inside pushing the Alpine SWR T10 Sub both located in the Slimline Console which is far too much power but nice to have the option of pumping it up. Stinger wiring throughout so I included a few pics...

Pictured below is my rebuilt 4.0 engine all that's missing is the Premier Power Welder which has the tray already mounted. Motor is Hesco parts with HP oil pump and cam with Banks header and exhaust.

MCAI just installed last night and today.

Both Pods contrast Lt Khaki Metallic on the drivers side and Dark Slate Metallic on the Passenger side.

The Slimline Console, Alpine Sub paired with a JL amp. 

Still need to build the locking top.

And a recent random poser... I'll have to update this thread soon with all the new goodies.
