This is my outback! There are many like it, but this one is mine!

I'm lusting after your wheels. I just had my stock wheels powder coated professionally, and now I'm kicking myself.

Anyone want a set of stock matte black powder coated wheels with a set of stock contis on them? 1800 miles! =)

^robmunach. yeah. i've never been able to save.

aeteocles the stock wheels look good, i wish i wouldn't have gotten rid of mine in case i ever have a problem and need to go to subaru but ill probably be fine. be glad you powdercoated and not just painted like i did. theyre good wheels just boat anchors.

Mtn_man, I like the roof aux lights idea too. Great for prepping at night time or perhaps for driving in the "outback". I like the Rigid Industries Lights but I wish there was something available with a lower profile.

Have you looked at Rigid recently? They released their "single row" series of lights this month.

Single row of LEDs is probably as low profile as you can get.

this afternoon is the first time i've driven more than 6 miles since putting on that R-rev underbody brace. Wow! what a difference! it feels like a sedan now, but still rides the same. i did lose about 2" of ground clearance but i doubt ill go offroad very much anymore.

Picture? We need a picture.

Aeteocles,
I bought and mounted a single 7" HID light on my rooftop cargo basket. Its pretty massive looking when I have it up and looks a bit odd and asymmetrical only having the one, but the beauty is I can just swivel it down and tuck it behind the fairing when on-road, that way it doesn't attract much attention, I don't have to keep it covered and it doesn't add any wind resistance.
Compared to other lights, it was significantly cheaper and is significantly brighter. (almost x3 the output of the - duallys?) The one light provides an additional ~3500 lumens (HID) with 'white' light projection. Basically the light output is nearly equal to that of the high beams. Its pretty amazing! Light projection is rated to travel one mile. I need to get a different sized switch because the one I got doesn't quite fit the location I am aiming to install it in but those are just details at this point. =)

Mtn_Man,

How did you run the power up to the roof rack where your HID light is? Where did you get your light?

Aeteocles,

I just noticed that! Thanks, this may be a great choice for hiding the LEDs within the grill.

this is what it looks like, green was just prototype, its grey. just looks kinda funny from the side but only if your low to the ground, will take a pic tomorrow

I ran the wiring from the battery through the firewall to my switch, and from the switch ran my lead back through the firewall around the engine bay and then up the side of the windshield to the rack/light. Its pretty low profile and is tucked away enough.
