Why thanks 8lug! Yea I cannot stand to see all the hummers in my area covered from top to bottom in chrome and 20 inch or larger wheels. I do need to get a full size spare its just making myself cough up the money to do it. Too bad the plasti dip doesn't hold up well to the brush in your neck of the woods but at least you take that thing wheelin. Nothing better.

Looks good man. The control arms add a different, nice touch.

LOL Agreed, my 09 Alpha adventure only saw city driving for the first 2-3 yrs of her life, I rescued her from the nice lawyer woman who owned her and took her to her element!

THIS IS A PLEA, ANYONE WITH AN ALPHA ADVENTURE THAT DOESN'T WHEEL IT, I WILL BUY YOU A NON ADVENTURE PLUS CASH!! THESE HUMMERS NEED TO SET FREE INTO THEIR NATURAL HABITAT!!

Alternately buy some MT's and try it for a weekend, you'll ditch those 24's and the chrome trim pieces by Sunday for sure and be reading about light bars and cranking torsion bars on Monday when you should be working!!

Lol I like what you have to say. All those ppl are missing out that don't wheel. Thanks widespread, they're something I haven't seen anyone else do and makes mine stand out that much more. Mine also was only city driven till I got it a year ago with only 24000 and its an 07. Since then it has been broken in nicely.

Old Yeller-
I was wondering how bright, i.e. what wattage are those three center driving lights ?
Did you have to do any wiring/battery/alternator upgrades to run them ?
And do you have to cover them when not off roading ?

Nice job

The three hella lights have 55 watt bulbs in them. I don't really need any brighter but I could put a 100 watt bulb in them. I just wired them to a switch in the cab and the switch is wired directly to the battery. I haven't had any problems with them like this and I run them with the headlights and stock fogs on all the time at night when off roading. I havent done any battery/alternator upgrades. Hope that helps.

I painted the park lights with under coating today in the same style you did. They look awesome. I'll post pics later. I may do the turns next to match. Where did you buy the LEDs. Not easy to find in amber. I like the raptor look with the LEDs.

Awesome deebocubs! I can't wait to see. I ordered them off a website called etrailer.com. look at their trailer lights and they're somewhere in the listing. There are amber colored ones and there are clear lens amber lights too. I personally liked the orange look even when the lights are off. Good thing is they're only 5 bucks a piece which is cheaper than anywhere else I could find. Hope you also get them and help start a new trend.

Thanks for the info. Now I need to figure out clear lense or amber...
I have 3 running lights up top so amber lense may be too much...

What would you go with?

Personally I like the amber colored lens. But its ultimately your choice. I really like your a pillar lights. Where did you get those brackets? Is there any visibility problems with them? I also like your 3 lights up top. Be sure to take a pic of your turn signals since you painted them. I'd like to see it.
