    Great looking truck! where in mass are you from? Im in western mass myself.

    How do you like those bed stiffeners? Do they really make a difference?

    Thanks. I'm out in Oxford, south of Worcester but I get up your way from time to time, mostly in NoHo, Charlemont and Greenfield.

    The stiffeners don't make a huge difference unless the bedsides are bowing out. Mine were starting to from the weight of the cap and these pulled them back in.

    Yup! Order it as you want. 1 or 2 sets of lights. Round or square. Hoops or no hoops. He offers the most custom one of them all!

    This one is a 4Runner but you get the idea

    BTW I just remembered, Relentless will do it too (if you can wait that long!) but Brute Force is still the only one that I know of that will do 2 sets of fog/driving lights and incorporate the light bar into the bumper for the '12-'15's

    Relentless \/\/\/

    Finished installing a few more mounts for the bed. Relentless Fab mounts and gripfists for the hatchet and flashlight, doubles for the shovel and pulaski, fire extinguisher mounted directly to the bed with gripfists.

    Hell yeah just seeing this now! From an EE I must say nice work on those wires. Did you ever test the draw to determine the thickness you needed or did you just go the "I want to be able to run a small town off this" route?
