    Pretty fun and easy install, overall time invested for everything was about 8 hours not including painting the mounts. If anyone’s interested I can get into the details about the install.

    The light bar is solid. The harness is way easy to work with and the bar is SERIOUSLY bright. If Taco Man in HD does another Group Buy I wouldn't hesitate to get a 30” for the front bumper.

    Lastly, I need to upgrade my headlights to LED’s now. Beginning to feel the lights need to match!

    OK...so when you run that wire down the pillar, where does it come into in the cab?

    How much did the mounts run you? Are they pretty sturdy?

    We tucked the wire in between the windshield and pilar. The brackets are made of stainless steel and are very sturdy. I sell them for 90$ shipped TYD. Raw materials only, so you can mock up first then paint. Everybody that's purchased them have been very happy with them

    Any question message me directly.
    Thanks, Casey

    Yea...just ran it alongside the A Pillar and windshield outside of the truck which you can then guide it right under the hood. Then your battery is right there...I needed to put a small extension on the lightbar wire.

    After that you just run the harness with the switch end through the firewall with a wire snake. It helps to lube up the wire with some fogging oil or even dish washer soap to help guide it through the rubber firewall gasket. I mounted a switch just to the left of the steering wheel and other pre installed selectors for the traction control etc. Used a dremmel to make my own slot for the rocker right there.
