    Did you look at brute force fabs hybrid bumper?
    Weight is good and he'll do all the damn hoops you can think of.
    I have a shrockworks now but may be going with BFF hybrid to save weight.

    Heading for my best tank of gas to mileage so far.

    Assuming it stays constant (im about 1/4 left) I should get around 140 miles total from full.

    I don't like fill plates on any brands. It makes them look like running boards.

    I will say they could be nice for dogs getting in and out. I'm scared my dog will catch his leg one day.

    Top plates are a good idea. My tires kicked up a large stick, it got caught in-between my sliders and damaged my rocker panel. It left its mark. I know a second person who has had this happen. sCpD9UVLkC1heAjIrzzRCkgMWVvHBJmVVne2ndc4_2a969a89e4bcca8b77646b8f1d95895ba189e05c.jpg

    I don't have fill plates, and when my pup was younger his paw slipped in between the slider and I could have sworn he snapped his leg when it happened. He turned out to be okay but it was pretty scary and I made sure to help him in and out until he learned. Just something to think about...I'd go fill plates if I could do it over.

    Im thinking about doing the same for mine because of the third brake light as well. Im glad you scraped that c4 idea, considering your fenders I would be scared that the sides of the bumper would of conflicted with them. Top of that, you are LT man, keep the prerunner look.

    Yep. Exactly. I'm glad I looked again at enigmas truck. That was pretty much it. Plus I really like the all pro now that's it black.

    That KC bar is pretty sweet. Not too expensive either. You can switch the clear (I can't decide putting it on a switch or just the reverse lights), the amber can be switched or strobe, then the red has two features a dim (like for taillights) and independent bright modes.

    I don't know how I'll wire the red. I haven't looked at the truck wiring or bulbs yet, but I want to wire it tail lights for dim and brake/signals for bright.

    I also want to do similar with wiring up the rtl as well with it functioning with my brake lights and turn signals. I'm thinking after I get my rear suspension and rtt on that I will look into a rtl. Would be cool if there was a write up somewhere of how to wire it up. If not I could always splice into the brake wires at the taillight area. Are you going to suspend your rtl underneath your rtt above your bed cage?

    Doesn't look bad. But you don't have the ridiculous fenders I have. ;)
