    I can check the size when I get home, but yes, epoxied the rare earth magnets to the angle aluminum and where the wire comes out of the light and you're good to go.

    Each side of my angle aluminum is 3/4" wide, the minimum to fit the LED strips posted in this thread.

    I have 13 lights under the rig and have switched out the epoxied magnets to ones with threaded studs. You can find the magnets at k&jmagnetics.

    I'm still running magnets, just magnets that are bolted to the aluminum angle. The epoxy failed over time.

    Yes, you want a flatbed. As long as you can get the cab past the obstacle you're good. <<<Fucks - No Fucks>>>

    Going to start with removing that shit OEM bumper and build a HC swingout. That will take a few inches off the rear for sure. Then the front will be tucked in a bit. I figure that will hold me until the truck is paid for and out of its warranty at 100k.

    After that shits getting bobbed, flatbed and a solid axle.

    Too poor to list anything interesting.
    I have 5K left on my warranty. May just take it in and have them do the spark plugs because I'm too lazy.

    Hey Nathan with your rock lights have you noticed any issues with heat??? I've been reading about some concerns with these lights heating up to high temps and not being able to leave them on a while. Your thoughts?

    Ohh NSA now installed and I love it. I did blow a fuse by accident when the number three wire touched a positive terminal and tried to weld itself lol. That has since been fixed. Lesson learned lol.

    I haven't had any issues with the rock lights John. They still work just fine.

    I'm glad you're liking the NSA. Try not to let the smoke out of the box, it's really hard to put back in. :rofl:

    Ha, I did the exact same thing with mine.

    What ring terminals did you get? I used the heavy duty ones but had to get a copper washer as the hole was much larger than the stud on the relay (I have same as you). The nut was barely holding it on.
