There actually is some history there, but there's really not much there, which is part of the draw. Mt. Borah is nearby (Idaho's highest point). In Mackay, you really are out in the middle of nowhere. We ride/drive through the area on our way home from visiting friends in Jackson, WY. Stanley is a wonder in of itself.

Here's a photo from our favorite place to stay in Stanley (it's a grocery store - you're making me want to go... right now! ) -

Sounds like a deal! You cover all the numbers in front of the decimal point and I'll take care of the ones after the decimal point...

All of these awesome pictures remind me of my McCall, ID snowmobiling trip. ID is an awesome state for any outdoorsman.

The Ford dealer is coordinating the front lighting upgrade and has recommended the following:

Big Country 3” black powder coated bull bar
Big Country mounting bracket kit
Fabricated lamp mounting bar
Rigid Industries D2 driving lights (pair)
Rigid Industries Dually spot lights (pair)
RaceSport illuminated driving & spot switches (chrome w/blue light accents)
Wiring harness
Labor and fabrication

Any off-roaders out there that would be so kind to review this proposal and bless it, or suggest an alternative?

Thank you all for your time.

That looks expensive,

sorry for the digression. Right now I am working on a basket up top and putting LED light bars on it. I didnt want to drill holes in my roof because i am a wussy, so I got a rino roof rack. I am going to use less expensive amazon LED light bars.

something like this, but for the 2016

A word of caution from experience - those Amazon lights are not good. And good luck getting any help with them when (not if) they fail. Search around for a used light bar that is a higher quality product if you don't want to spend the big money on new. You probably won't need a radius bar if you are mounting it to a roof rack. A straight 50" bar, or even a 30"-40" bar will probably be sufficient.

Good luck with your search, and let me know if you need any advice on manufacturers.

They aren't cheap, but 2 Baja xl80's on my hood drown out a 30", 40", 20" Amber and headlights.
