    I would be interested to see how the two compare..I reached out to Eddy at the same time I reached out to Billy (BFF). Still waiting to hear back from Eddy when I initially inquired in April :rofl:

    Oh well, happy with my decision to go with Billy's product..just goes to show that customer service and response times are everything..

    Got up bright and early yesterday to get some work done on the truck! FINALLY after almost 2 years of my wife's brother being a lazy sack of sh!t, his old boss installed my inverter! Huge thanks to Mario at AutoSonics for helping me out.

    Next, he helped me trace an issue with the switches on the Iggy panel not getting power when the headlights are on (like the others in the sunglass holder. That is now fixed and the cab is lit up so much brighter now!

    Lastly, I swapped in my Apocalyptic/Undead Offroad rock lights while my buddy installed the inverter.

    BEFORE:


    AFTER:


    I might order two more for the rear, but I am very happy with the results :D

    Next, the sasquatch lights are going to be finalized and wired up!

    Slowly making progress with the things that have been pushed to the side in the past years.

    Did you make it weird? I would've, Like, "nah, my pipe keeps everything pretty chill, I can use my pipe in all types of weather. I particularly like to flip my pipe during snowy conditions to let her breathe and really drive it home."

    I'll get some detailed pics some time today.

    Since the turnbuckles are pretty beefy, you have to remove them, but the way I did it, the remove in 10 seconds per side..so not bad

    You have a turnbuckle on top I assume too? And what kind of wire did you use?

    Pretty much stock with some crap welded to it.
    I wonder if this would work on a 1st gen, did you make the hood mounts?

    I bought them. Honestly, these are not made for our trucks. They are designed and sold for Land (?) Rover Discovery's. I bought them hoping they would work and made them work and fit. I have thought about making the brackets to fit our trucks. The '12-'15 models would not be hard to make, however, the first gens would be difficult as I do not really have one available to work on.

    I am going to try to make a set for the '12-'15's that will work better and go from there..
