    Because they aren't garbage and wont have to be replaced in a year or two. Of course that's before we even begin to discuss their advanced optics and output. Quality, customer service and superior performance.

    I have a set in the shed with tires that I would let go for a little more than the price for the rims including TPMS.

    Thanks Jim, have my eye on a set of new take offs and want to put a set of Blizzaks on them. That way I have a set of steelies for winter and my alloys for the rest of the year. All I'll have to do then is to swap one set for the other. Never hurts to li$ten though. The tires wouldn't be of much use to me for what I want to do.

    Putting my Tuffy Side Bed Box in today. Used a whole can of Flex Seal on the part that's exposed between the bed and fender well.

    First post should be all about what I did to make it “mine”. Monday, added running boards...yesterday, got the fronts window tint (to match the factory tint glass). Gotta save for plates and a hard tonneau cover...

    That looks awesome, as far as fit goes it looks like you need to slide the rails further forward and out on the bed rail itself. To be more clear push the topper rail further out on the trucks bed rail. A point of reference on how tight mine is.
    When i first got it:

    Their website will probably be better at giving you those specs, but the kit is indeed rated for using pneumatic tools. Take a look here: http://www.viaircorp.com/oba/oba-ultra/

    I had one on my06 for a while till it tore. My fault there though. But one thing that worked the shit out of me was it would flap like a mother against the back at highway speeds. Does it do that on yours? Sweet truck BTW. Got it dialed in dude.

    @Seattleskindoc Great question!

    I'd love to chime in with some more information on top of what's been posted by @mesojdm and @JerryTaco ... Yes at Baja Designs (BD) we are at the high end of the price range and here are some of the reasons customers choose Baja Designs over the competitors:

    [​IMG]

    ClearView -
    https://www.bajadesigns.com/science-of-lighting/clearview.asp
    With more useable patterns than any other manufacturer, ClearView® provides you with a light for every zone and a scientific method to the madness.
    ClearView™ is our proprietary optics, which are computer designed in-house by Baja Designs’ team of racing engineers who have first-hand knowledge of the lighting needs of all types of drivers and riders. The best thing is most patterns and colors can be changed in a matter of minutes with our uService Technology.




    [​IMG]

    uService -

    https://www.bajadesigns.com/science-of-lighting/uservice.asp
    Baja Designs unique use of O-ring seals instead of silicone allows users to change their beam pattern and lenses with ease. This makes for a quick and easy change between a variety of different patterns or colors. You have the ability to fine tune your lighting package to specific needs. Try that with our competitors and you'll be left in the dark without a warranty.





    [​IMG]
    CopperDrive -
    https://www.bajadesigns.com/science-of-lighting/copperdrive.asp
    BD’s CopperDrive LED management system uses next gen circuit board and driver technology to safely run high powered LEDs at 100% power. 4 levels of thermal management transfer LED heat up to 3000% more efficiently and provide an extra layer of vibration isolation creating the highest performing and longest lasting LED light on the market. We drive our lights at 100% capacity to make sure you're getting all of the performance needed.





    Manufactured in the USA -
    Another reason why our costs are higher than competitors is we try to keep as much as possible in the US. We average 65-75% US Content and our goal is to keep the number high. Here in San Marcos we have 3 CNC machines working on housings, bezels, end caps, for a wide variety of products from our S8 LED Light Bar all the way to the Lp9! The only things outsourced are very minor components where the cost would be too high to manufacture here (Rock Guards, Lenses, etc.)


    On top of this our LED/HID Lights are covered by a Limited Lifetime Warranty giving you complete purchase protection against manufacturer defects. This gives you peace of mind knowing you're covered for many years of use and abuse in the dirt or on the street.
    https://www.bajadesigns.com/help/warranty-policy.asp


    Above is just a few reasons why customers choose Baja Designs (BD) and why our costs are a little bit higher than most. We put nothing but quality components into our lights in order to provide you with the best lighting in the industry that will last many years. Let me know if you have any questions.

    I paid $200 shipped for mine, shipped out on Monday. Customer service and follow up communication has been incredible. So glad I didn't go for the pre-order in the marketplace, it is the exact same grill for $80 cheaper and shipped out 2 weeks faster.
