    If your brave you'll drill through the cab roof, or you can run a grommet through your 3rd brake light, maybe drill a hole through the lenses and run the wires along the top of the weather strip. Are they H3 lights?

    I don't think they're H3 lights. Not sure what car they come off of. Are you talking about the weather strip on the cab?

    Thanks!

    How difficult would this be to do?

    I think he was referring to H3-55w bulbs. Not from an H3 hummer;). Your headliner isnt very difficult to take off and is what most people do with roof lighting. Just make sure if u decide to do it, place some waterproof sealant around the grommet. Still cant believe your just sporting the lights w/o power!!! They still look kickass!!

    Oh....:p Well, I'm not sure about that part either.

    I hate having lights with no power. :( At least the KC ones work just fine thanks to PreRunnerSeth :)

    Thank you! :D Both the wheels and the grill were painted by me. Somewhere I have links with how I did both, but please feel free to PM me any time and I will be happy to answer any questions you have! :)

    Sounds like fun! :D The ride feels similar...it's real hard to tell. These are nitrogen filled, which is cool. I'm mostly getting used to the narrower tires

    Thats not bad. I have the 255/85R16 just a little narrower than yours but they are 33 inches tall. I like them for offroad but I wouldnt run them much on the Hwy though. Wider does look nicer. I have a set of used Toyo's 265/75R16 after my stock tires wear out. I drive a lot of Hwy for work and mud tires wouldnt last long and are quite a bit louder.
    Nitrogen filled tires, never heard of them. Who are they made by? And what they run you for all 4?

    The tires are Mastercrafts. The nitrogen was filled by the dealership I bought them at, and I think it was around 500 bucks for the balancing, mounting, and the nitrogen. The Ford dealer where I used to work filled specialty tires with nitrogen. I heard once that it's favored in racing....:confused:

    Awesome truck! Just to answer everyone's questions about your awesome light bar.

    Part # is FLS07 Google the part # a
    nd "roof light" and you are all set. Cost is between $150-200 shipped. Its coming from Asia so be prepared for 2-3 weeks of waiting. The housing comes in silver or black and the lenses can be blue, clear or I think yellow.

    Edit:

    Katie do you know if those lights can be aimed or dissembled to upgrade the bulbs? We have been discussing it here:
