    Kinda wish I had funds for that, but at the same time I don't wheel hard enough where I NEED it so I am fine without one for now.

    It is a little off centered and bugs the hell out of me just because I am anal about everything being centered and all. But doesn't make a difference at night with it on, and you can't tell unless you really look at each side.

    No problem! I would have to see a 50 inch in person to see how much it hangs out but I think if I had to do it over I would go with the 50.

    haha no way!? I try to park at that first little parking lot in front of the parking garage, much quicker to get out. I used to park up top but then one day as I was driving out some rich kid in a brand new BMW M3 just slammed it in reverse out of his parking space without even looking.. Luckily I swerved and missed him but it was to close.

    This quarter I will be there Mon-Thurs from 8:45am til about 1pm or so, tuesday I get out at 3.

    Are you there mornings or evenings? And thanks! I don't usually like to many access cabs but yours is one of few that is really well built

    I got it from Relentless Fab with their Rampage 42inch radius bar. I had to drill through the rubber liner on the roof to get into the 2 factory holes, I believe its 2 10mm bolts. I love the light output and all but as a daily driver it may be a little much. Just make sure and wait because they are redoing the brackets to a better/stronger design. Great service and highly recommend them

    Since I got it on the group buy with 20% off I think it came to about $475-$500 total. Pretty good price still without the discount.
