Awesome! I love assininely bright lights My pair of hyperspot led pods came tonight! I feel like a 5 yr old.

Jay, to both your mother, and father. You ALL are in my thoughts.

That's awesome!

Two switches because I will use one for the light bar, and I already have plans for 4 other individual lights, in which I will run the 4 on the vacant extra switch. As for a harness recommendation I have a lot of experience with hid kits, and hid projector retrofits where the same principles apply, and you run a relay harnesses. In that case I recommend Morimoto(The Retrofit Source) products. Pricey, however the wires are in a netted loom, plus on the car harness, they run one relay per headlight. This eliminates some failed headlight ignitions, where a single relay sometimes will create. I will take a look at their website, I know they make a relay harness, but did not want to go that route. I wanted a little project this time. However, for an ATV, and the low draw of the LEDs, I wouldnt shy away from a harness from Amazon, that has a ton of reviews with say 4.5 out of 5 stars. Plenty on there for about $10, so its not the end of the world if it doesn't pan out. Although, I would rather do it once. This is what I would buy if I wanted the best. I run these harnesses in my vehicles, it doesn't compare to the $10 harnesses. You would have to splice on a 9006 socket onto the two wires exiting your light bar. They sell them also under common connections. Also, keep in mind that harness have a max draw of amperage to them. So keep an eye on that, and of which light, and how many lights will be wired to that harness https://www.theretrofitsource.com/wiring/relay-harnesses/hd-relay-light-bar.html

Yup, thats me. No mods what so ever, i dont believe in brakes. Just kidding, but no, no machine mods necessary for me. I actually always had stick shift beater cars, never an issue, so the atv is cake. My prosthesis can handle the steering, and holding on. Honestly, if I am rifle huntjng, or on my property, I wont even wear the fake arm.

Ever any questions, don't hesitate.

ADK.... Here is some direction for you to help get started for when you are looking to buy. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00T9BJ2GE/ref=mp_s_a_1_fkmr0_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1522408845&sr=8-1-fkmr0&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=auxbeam%2B20"%2Bled%2Blight%2Bbar%2Bcombo%2Bwith%2Bharness&th=1&psc=1 They have all sorts of size bars on the market, 3" pods up to 54" or so, for sale from numerous brands. They are sell clamps that cam mount the light(s) onto your rack, or frame, without fabbing brackets, or drilling holes. Search "atv rack light bar mounts". Heres is a relay harness example, again numerous grades of quality out there, you get what you pay for to a point here as well. The bottom plug with two pigtail wires on the very bottom...they connect to your light bar if you buy one without a plug on it. Then you plug it in to the harness, you can see the similar plug just above it. After that the red end goes to the battery positive, and the black end goes to battery negative. That simple. Its even simpler when you buy a led product with the plug already installed on the bar. Be sure to have zip ties on hand, electrical tape, and a socket, or wrench to loosen the battery cables for hookup. If you want to do it proffesionally, solder, and shrinktube, and lume everything.

If you can work on a farm, you would be more than capable of mounting, and wiring a bar up. There are good inexpensive choices too. I have confidence in the brand I will be using for my atv. My dad has a 9" double row bar, and 2 flood pods on his ATV, by the brand Auxbeam that have been great so far. I have to worries putting these up to the elements if needed. Some guys even run a small thin bead of clear silicone, around the seams for extra protection. For the price Auxbeam charges, and the quality, and bang for the buck, it wouldnt be the end of the world. I highly recommend Auxbeam when choosing the Amazon route. Dads atv. 9" auxbeam for highbeam, and a pair of 4" flood pods for low beam.

Thank you, i can't wait to use it again! Honestly, it is very simple to wire these type of lights. You can get premade wiring harnesses for light bars, and pods, etc. Basically, you plug the harness into the plug on the light assembly, then run the red wire right to your battery, then the black wire right to your battery, and typically these harnesses have a switch buily right in. You would just need to route the switch to a place of choice on the dash. You are simply routing the wires, not even wiring it. I can show you an example if you would like... There are several different styles, and grades of quality. You get what you pay for to a point. For an atv I chose inexpensive parts, that had extremely high reviews for hundreds of reviews. My new Escape, I bought a very high end LED bar for that since it is exposed to salt, road debris, rain, fluctuating temps, sun... Higher priced priced LED products are typically sealed better for moisture protection, and have better harnesses, better relays, better switches, better optics and better voltage regulation. Over powering LEDs will drstically reduce the life of the LED, etc. My ATV will really only see decent weather, the harshest element is will see will be the pressure washer...or transporting it in the rain. I have it for trail exploration. It wont be caked in mud, or stored outdoors...it is stored in my basement. I am rambling, but there are a lot of LED products, and lots of price variations, and quality differences. Think about all ends before purchasing, as far as quality to the price, compared to how often it will be used. Oh, and if you do decide to buy a bar, i suggest a seperate switch, so you can shut it off if you encounter other riders, or have to follow others. Another idea is you could tap into the high beam wire on your machine. This way if you switch the high beam on your stock headlights, the bar will light up. Its a way to cheat, I can also explain that in detail, but I suggest seperate wiring. You want to be sure the splice into the factory wire is sealed, otherwise down the road it can lead to issues.

Swapped over the small 11" single row LED bar that I had on my old quad. I am a light freak, find lighting fun, no idea why, but we all have hobbies, its one of many hobbies of mine. It is not wired yet, need to pick up a few relays before wiring. I typically run premade relay harnesses, on vehicles, but on this project, I wanted a specific switch. I bought a double switch, that has weatherproof boots, and is illuminated. The nice part is that it clamps to the handlebar, so no drilling, or making plates, and dealing with the brainstorming. One switch will run the 11" bar, and one will run 4 hyperspot LED pods. One pair of pods will be delivered tomorrow actually, and I will get them mounted on. Not sure if this is really of any interest, but maybe it is just something different for members. Hope you enjoy, either way.

Congratulations, smart move, enjoy it. I agree with Moho81 with having a lot of respect for you men, and women as well. I couldn't do what you do, especially the medical part.

Dbags sums that up.

Taco boats!

Neat, thats another place I haven't been too is Basspro....although fishing doesn't interest ne much. Unless, its with my dad, and we bring meatballs, and sausage and peppers, with club rolls, for a stream side lunch, and make a day of it!

Probably pulled something while carrying your breakfasts to the table. On a serious note, feel better, just rest it, and use heat. At least thats what my dad has to do. When his back blows out, its typically a week, and he is the toughest man I know.

White is actually great. Paint super thin anymore, and white helps concealing if you get rock chips and road nicks. I bought a new white Escape this summer, and was concerned I would be bored of white eventually, but I absolutely love my choice. Congrats, and best of luck. Enjoy it!

That sounds like a GREAT time, red robin, and a drink, or 3 after. I will drive for hundreds of miles, and just deal with it, so it never crosses my mind to stay overnight nearby for a trip as such. Good to know about the Microtel though. Thank you

Hey, not a problem, thats why I posted this, thats what its all about. I felt like a kid when I was checking out all the taxidermy. I typically am uncomfortable around a lot of people honestly, but during our visit I was myself, and just enjoyed the place.

BVH in Barryville, NY, good gawwwd best burger EVER.

Great info, thank you for that. I would love to visit the west someday., as well as a cross country Canada trip.

You are 100% correct, and are very observant to my posts, I appreciate that! Yes, I was due for a day trip to wind down a bit. We did not buy anything, other than dinner next door, we are in decent shape for gear. I just bought that quad, so I am content.

It was indeed, PERFECT weather too, obviously chilly, but clear skies, and no precip. We took home each, and everyone of the pics we took, lol, did not buy anything actually. I was VERY scared of walking into the home & cabin decor section! I have excellent self control as far as handling money, but I was expecting incredible items for my cabin, that would be something you cannot pass up, in worry that you may not see something quite like it again. That was not the case, nothing stood out really, few nice coffee tables, but nothing I could not build here at home that is similar.
