    My brother had TC on his 01 and sold it without telling me. We had a deal to swap our UCAs before he sold it. That bastard.

    What! That's a bummer. Not fond of the price but you won't ever have to worry about them unlike some other UCAs that will be unnamed.
    Saw some for sale couple weeks ago for like $500 didn't have $ at the time.

    Just ran the wires for the lights. The switch and wiring to/from it were already there from my old light bar so it only took about 30 minutes. Brackets should be here tomorrow. I'll hopefully have them on Wednesday. Aces game on Tuesday :cool:

    Got the ditch lights installed. Took an hour and a half is all. The brackets were easy. Trimming the plastic to get the wiring from the D2s to fit was kind of a pain but it's done.

    Thanks. My dad gave me a hand and when it was done he says, "when are you getting more lights to go on the bumper." :laugh: soon enough I guess haha.

    Thanks! I'm looking forward to them this winter lol. I'm also beginning to think I should just go with light forces for the bumper instead of more LEDs. But I don't get discounts on lightforcce so...maybe not.

    Dude. Your truck has come a long way, looks great!

    I'm amazed your tires have held up so well for you.. I'm in need of tires now myself and weighing my options for an AT.. Coopers, BFG, Hancook, or Treadwright Wardens again.. sigh

    You'll just have to wait and see I guess.

    Thanks man. After my experience with these coopers, i'd buy the new version of them, the AT3s, for sure. I have a few slashes in the sidewalls I noticed the other day, but nothing serious at all. I just want something more aggressive.

    Looks good man. I know I was bugging ya about your rtt on the cab but after having issues with my roof led bar and getting bad wind resistance (fixed now) I'll probably get a bed rack and mount a tent there.

    I don't notice too much noise honestly. Like, not much at all haha. I'm used to having my Yakima bars up there though which were pretty noisy by themselves.

    But I would do a bed rack if I didn't live up here. I need that dry storage when I go I trips. Too valuable at this point to change to a bed rack.

    Well not noise, but actual wind resistance. You could feel the truck sway at times and I had to push the truck a little more on my daily commute due to the bar being a little high. I lowered it and now the wind just flows right over it.
    I would think it'd be worse with a tent being up there.
