Looks like a desert racing style LED bar.

Grassroots rally. It's what I think about.

We nailed a tree 1.4 miles in! Chris kept going. Car is driveable. Bent two wheels later one and got stuck trying to pull Dave Clark out of the ditch. Saw Tom B. on the side of the road. Passed the Hintz brothers on Nawatzel with a broken knuckle.

We finished! It was fun but it was also a car breaker. The car was on stock suspension. I am really glad that I built a good skid plate. Chris learned several important lessons. I had fun and enjoyed talking to all my friends.

Tha LED bar got Chris some freebies! Lucky SOB.

Day One

Had a great time for my first rally! Would not have happened without Robert and Max.
The whole experience was pretty surreal from beginning to end. All I can say is... I want more!

Mon sewer Guerin what a silly cutsie name and a defective real name... You know it's supposed to be a real FULL name, don't be naughty or I will sneer in your general direction silly French chevalier!

May I suggest "Turbot Brique" ?

Good work finishing the rally!

Now I am not the only Malibu Blue focus with a damaged drivers door.

Robert picked that up right before the rally, I forget the brand name and don't know the specs but what I can say is that it is mega bright. The light bar has spots in the middle and floods around the sides. Lit in front of the car like day light.

Wolf LED lighting showed up and and gave us 2 more LED lights that were spots, that combination worked great! We turned the spots a bit out to the sides and that helped great for corners.

Customized by "Tree"..

Wait, WTF, no second by second recounting of just what caused the side of the car to get customized?

Kobi, I want a in depth impression of everything...thoughts! Musings! Analysis!
