I'll trade you your "one day" for my "weeks".
When I had my accident (T-Boned) I was without it for many weeks. What a miserable time that was. It's sad how hooked we get to them.

My biggest concern since it was the front u-joint was that it may have broken at freeway speeds and dropped down. That wouldn't have been pretty.

My rear LED flashers finally bought the farm so I've been looking to replace them with something. A few weeks ago I orderd some white LED light pods to use for rock lights. Upon receiving the lights I discovered that they were flashers instead of lights that stay on. So using four of the six I purchased, I fabricated a new rear lightbar in conjunction with a lip to stop my fuel cans from sliding to the rear. I'm pretty pleased with the final outcome for now.

Nice setup. You thought about getting an awning for it?

Everyday I look at it. Can't afford it right now though.

You don't need lights for that.
