    Cool video clip. Maybe an LSD is in your future if you're going to offroad much.

    I love your basement case too. I'm looking to build one this winter.

    How often do you make it to RRG?

    I would love a LSD, but I will need another car to drive before doing that install.

    The Red is 7 hours from me, so I dont get there as often as I do the New (4hrs) but PMRP at the red is one of the reasones I wanted to lift my rabbit in the first place.

    I was on the show grounds the whole day, either parked by the GLI with the beer tap trunk or parked at the top of the hill behind the forge tent.

    It was awesome having Marcus parked next to me. It was soooo easy to find my way home. All I had to do was looks for a huge roof basket in a sea of lowered cars. That was until he moved it to the top of the mountain without my knowledge and I couldn't find my way back!

    Yeah that's quite a hike for you. It's only a few hours for me.

    I remember trying to get my 91 Golf up a couple of pretty bad roads in the Red, and it's lowered on Neuspeed sport springs. Eventually my RRG car will be a slightly lifted QSW with locking diffs.

    haha. On the way back from SOWO I kept almost running into the back of guys I was driving with because they would hit the brakes hard for little bumps and I dont even pay attention to that anymore. haha.

    So, I skipped 13-20 but what I really want to know is about that light-bar in the front. I'm not planning on going that off-road with it, but I'm really liking the functional rally look, (and for moving back to Wisconsin, deer spotting capabilities... let's be honest people, those lights will keep some deer off the hood.) What kind of lights do you have? Did you patch into existing high beam power supplies? Could you if you didn't? Also, awesome roof rack.

    I have 2 hella 500 and 2 hella 500ff lights. (fogs and driving) I wired them up separate with switches so I dont have to have the car on to run them. And also because extra driving lights are illegal in NC. Im not sure if you could wire them in without getting a light (no pun intended, haha). You would definitely have to do some vagcom work to hook them up that way.

    And the bar? How did you hook that up. I had been debating how to mount the lights. I was looking at the http://www.piaa.com/automotive-lamps/led-570.html and the corresponding fogs. Thoughts, you probably know quite a bit about these lights.

    PIAA lights are awesome, spendy though. Thats why I didnt get any nicer lights.

    I bolted the light bar up to one of the bumper support bolts. Its actually just conduit. I didnt have a bender at the time and wanted something light that would just hold up the lights, and I could buy 90 deg bends from home depot. It would be possible to tie into the bumper support bar for a little more strength. I will do that eventually also.
