Nice light bar!  Having forward and rear mounted lights will surely help you, just make sure they are pointed as so to not get in the back of the snow shot... the reflection off the snow might hinder your actual sight.

Yeah the ones going on this bar are amber and couple small reverse LEDs

I've never been much of a cab guy myself but I'm also not much for a frozen beard. So it's a love hate relationship. The helmet is a good idea alot easier to put away at the end of the year too

I thought the same thing but it makes a world of difference.

I'm cheap when it comes to headlights. I just went on ama-zon pick up a decent set of 4 inch round leds with a switch and relay with a fuse set up and wired them straight to the battery. Brite as all be and fit perfect. I got sum threaded rod with a nut to put back in old bolt holes and then got a piece of bar steel and cut to length used sum washers and wing nuts and just used it to hold them in nice and snug.

They are a very easy and only owning my wheelhorse a short time I must say a massive improvement over stock. Not flickering in the lights or anything. And no modification to the hood so OG bulbs can b put back in if wanted to. I tucked old wiring away and just bypassed it with new stuff but all still there for original. (Hood to 314 b4 the restore)

That's the 2 stage but I used a tall single for many seasons before finding it... Basically the same scene except really wet heavy snow or DOT plow banks that's the only times I actually see the 2 stage is better (again just my experiences).

She ain't pretty but shes solid. 

[ebinmaine 67,533]

Lol.  I feel I might need to hunt that truck down. I bet it would bolt right up to the horse. Worse come worse plow dont see me It would probly stop it ha.

[OldWorkHorse 3,045]

So far its working. Lights kinda mounted need be adjusted. Wires are all run. Just need to make a mini switch box to mount the plug in and switches and the mount it to the bar. 

[OldWorkHorse 3,045]

This should work. Turn lights around in the summer mow all night, I dont think the neighbors would mind ha. 

[ebinmaine 67,533]

Bring that down to the meet and greet and you can be the night guide for a woods ride. 

 

VERY nice!!!
