    Replace the stock bulbs with LED, ballast/resistor, and heatsinks. Lifetime warranty.

    Cleared up the signal reflectors now... no amber reflection when off.

    Check these charred stock units. I've heard of people having melted lens covers from these. My Driver's side signal cover has some bubbling where it looked like it had started to melt. Not only was the bulb base charred but also the bulb socket from the factory wiring was also charred. I wonder if these have started a fire??

    1. You have lights up the ass in the front

    2. You update your build at ridiculous times..

    That is all. :cool:

    The new DTRL looks damn good though. :thumbsup:

    Haha, you read my build at ridiculous times, Sir.:D
    Swapping out the ARB fog lights probably next week for the Rigid Industries Dually Fog lights. That should be all for front lighting. The lighting was really inspired by the MRAPs in Iraq. When all the LED lights were on at night it was like daytime all around them. Guess I never let that memory go.

    Edit... as you saw in person I have the 4 LED lights in the rear also.. somewhere around 4,800+ lumens in the back. I'll have to move the ones on the Baja Rack rearward when the B.A.M.F. bedrack gets here. :turtleride:

    Hey there's nothing wrong with light in the front, the more the merrier, i just don't have the monies... Rear bumper on order and a Demello in the front potentially in the fall...

    Decided against ARB? I love this bumper. Great to put hammocks on and I know it'll fold a deer... SGrappone destroyed a deer with his @55mph and just had to replace brackets that went to the frame.

    Nope, it's still my number one pic but for the price i may be getting the Demello (~400$ cheaper) i may end up with that. But fuck i wanted to get in on the ARB's for 314$ shipped... It was the deal of the century...

    Would you mind taking more full truck shots? Not that many people with the Baja Rack and would like to see more of it.

    Dually's look pretty slick in the ARB...

    Just any would help…preferably some more full truck shots (view of whole truck) since there aren't that many pictures of these racks out there, especially on our trucks.

    Thanks for the pics Azog. I see you have what looks to be Hi Lift mounts? Do you / have you mounted a Hi-Lift up there?

    Also, do you have any significant wind noise with the fairing on there?

    That is mounts for Axe and Shovel. They were sent to me free because of the great customer service at Baja. They realized the feet for the rack may cause damage and sent new ones out. With them they sent free hardware. I do have wind noise but it's not enough to stop a conversation at 70 mph. To be honest I'm used to it now.

    Great build. Good looking truck.

    Do you have any photos of how you mounted the Rigid Dually LEDs into the ARB ?
