    Minor update:

    Installed Rigid Industries Dually Spots as ditch lights

    And installed an Ultra-Gauge:

    You can also see in that picture where my Galaxy Tab3 sits in a Pro Clips mount; the mount is very sturdy and I am quite pleased with it. I still need to calibrate the UG and aim the lights.
