    Thanks, I will. I have been trying to find a location to put my accessory lighting switches that are within easy reach, i.e. not down by the heater controls or to the left of the steering wheel. I had pretty much settled on putting them next to the TSC switch, but I like your set up better!

    Looks really good!
    Wish I had found this earlier vs. the glossy CF I got.
    Yours looks much better IMHO.

    Damn….that's nice results.
    Now I understand why they make eye drops for burning vision.

    a few...
    Well I’ve had these Rigid Industries led light bars on my truck for awhile now but last week in northern Wisconsin I found a proper place to take some pictures to show their effectiveness. Set-up picture below.

    63E9934A-CB2F-405C-B1FD-83D691EEA41D.jpg

    I found about a 2500 foot fire road with canopied pine trees for depth & detail.
    This first light picture is with my Diode Dynamics 5k HID low beams with Diode Dynamics XML2 LED fogs (I only use these when I can and never use them when oncoming vehicles are present)

    6316867C-5306-4B95-B616-FE585476FB85.jpg

    Next is Opt7 Fluxbeam 5k LED high beams with low beams, no fogs

    429F9731-EB12-43A2-AF4B-4CE665F1724F.jpg

    Next is just the Rigid Industries 30” led bar only located between the bumper & grille. It’s a flood/spot combo putting out ~14500 raw lumens

    A0C3776C-D116-4D21-9CBF-F0267FACE581.jpg

    Next only is the 20” dual row Rigid Industries Pro series spot/drive LED locate in the RI grille putting out ~35,000 raw lumens. Can you see the dark rabbit hole way out there where Supper Club parking is?

    AFB2387D-FFFC-43CD-B15E-A2BA8A6ACF60.jpg

    Last is a combination picture of both Rigid Industries LED light bars only...~49,500 raw lumens.

    FA53550D-FAED-4F30-B7A4-A174C5547C26.jpg

    I photographed this with my GoPro 6 on auto exposure single shot night picture so exposure times are slightly different for each picture.

    Not too bad actually. I put 33's on my '17 OR without a lift and had some rubbing on the cab side of the fender liner.
    When I installed a 2-1/2" the rubbing didn't go away until I had an alignment shop adjust the caster for me.
    I really think I could have have that done before the lift and the rubbing would have gone away or been very minimal but I don't know that for certain.
