​

 

Really like the build!

 

Thanks, Dustin!

 

Friends! I finally got around to installing the Rigid Ignite rear lights that have been sitting in my garage for the past two months.

I updated the OP with photos.

See here for write-up on installation and more photos.

 

I am seriously jealous of those headlights.

 

I love them! They make the truck I think. One of the best Craigslist/TW finds thus far (along with the topper/drawers, sliders, and maybe a few other things..)

 

Your truck is awesome. Really really good build

 

Thanks, Travis! I really appreciate it!

Had the 20k service done yesterday.

Also, managed to order a set of @mesojdm ultimate dome and map lights today. He does amazing work!

Combine those with the front 32” light bar, 8 bottom rock lights, and 2 rear Rigid lights and you may actually see me from space

 

That is very possible. Cause I only have the Caliraised 32” bar and I would swear you could see that from space. Lol. Did the totally blacked out high beams kill the light output or is it still ok?

 

I swapped the high beams with LEDs and they are still relatively useless with the blacked out buckets (even though that looks great!). I never use them but if I need them offroad, I use the front light bar which is crazy bright. If I did the lights from scratch, I definitely would have only lightly tinted the buckets and the side markers but I couldn’t complain since these were a CL find at a great price.

 

I've been wanting to do the map/dome LED upgrade. did you do a write-up or tutorial on that? i'd also like to order from @mesojdm because he seems like a real bro when it comes to these things!

 

Good looking build

 

I did a small write-up here for my @mesojdm V1 map lights. I also referenced others in that post for instructions. It’s super easy to do and a massive difference in light (clean white and much brighter/wider dispersion than OEM) plus you have the benefit of having something unique that only a small population of TW has. The quality is great and it looks OEM (or better). I just ordered his V2 map/dome lights so I’ll definitely take pictures of those and give them some thoughts once I receive them. He’s a good dude if you’re looking for some high quality and unique mods! They go fast though!

Thanks, Greg!

 

Awesome truck! What cap did you have?

 

Thanks! I appreciate it!

ARE V-series topper with tilt-down front sliding window, fabric headliner, LED battery dome light, black Vantech J-1000 roof rack (custom cut to ~48"), Dakine aero rack pads

 

Installed @mesojdm ultimate LED clear V2 map and V1 dome lights

Updated OP with photos!

See here for my review

 

Any rubbing with those wheels and tires?

 

None whatsoever.

They are slightly larger than the stock Sport size and look great on the truck. no rubbing/clearance issues, negligible if any MPG loss, and no loss in ride comfort. Any larger than what I have and you'd have to lift/level.
