for plowin and stuff in the winter

I had the normal work lights in there, and took them out, and these strobes fit in those holes, and you can turn them on solid, so I guess in a way I got strobes and led worklights all in one

Homemade wood box to extend the height of my X2 box. 1/4" aluminum bolted to my floorboards to protect them. Took a chunk out of original left side when it got pinched between a rock and a tree.

You can turn them on solid. That makes sense now.

nice strobes. least you can turn them into work lights. but think if i used them here id be getting a ticket. since there cant be no white flashing. i got led work lights and rear ledstrobes. great work tho. i like the shift **** 700 has also.

the spray i now am trying to mount on my new wheeler. hopefully by the end of this week. i have 3 yards to spray for weeds. and i will add pics of it when i get it mounted.
my bumper is pretty heavy duty. i had a police push bumper on it to push cars around when i had a job working on police cars. we also did other repairs. but i was layed of from there. but my bumper just started out as a regular bumper no wich. then in 2006 i got a 1500lb winch for free. and i just welded 2 plates across, and 2 small pieces of steel for the rollar faring to mount to. drilled holes for the winch. it worked awsome it fit perfectly under the plastic polaris bumper.

now see if i can finish where i left off:

but since were adding video. heres a video of my old 335. a week before i sold it:


here is my winch grill cut out and 2 of the 6 led stars i added to the wheeler. all the switches for my worklights, and flashers are on the headlight pod.

and now the way my switches look. i hada fill in some of the other holes to make it look better. but dont look to bad if i do say so my self. i also like the look of all the switches being the same. all the switches have a led to tell me its on. top switch on right side is my work light, off, reverse light. so i can turn the work lights on/off or have them come on in just rev. under that one is my led flashers, off, and not used at the moment switch:

here is the second vershion of my pull behind grader/box scraper. ihave regrets i changed it now. since i like the way it was the first time. but not much i can do about it now. the box scraper is a earthcavator from the 70's and is made by gannon. i can lift and lower the grader or scraper via a 12v toggle switch i have on the rack:

my trailer. paid $100 for it. i added sides (removable if needed), home made dimond plate alum fenders, 13 led marker lights, and i got regular taillights for it. but i removed the guts of the taillights and made leds for the inside of it. since i like leds. if you noticed that. i just added a new plywood bed and bed bolts. i wanted something that was hidden when not in use so i got the bed bolts. ill add pics later:
