    So far, so good. I like the name of the build. Budgeting for parts can be rough. My build, once I start, will be..

    Thanks! Next up, I'm considering some different rock lights. After that, I'll be finished for a while. :)

    Yay for rock lights. Boo for being done.

    What rocks lights you considering?
    I can't decide between DYI leds or rigid or some manufacturer rock lights.

    Not sure yet. Kinda looking for something inexpensive, so if/when I smash them, they are affordable to replace.
