    Satoshi is the kind with the center cut out, then you add wire mesh or something to complete the middle. Homertaco sells the mesh for cheap, i was gonna go that route, but then found a color matched sport honeycomb grille and couldnt pass it up

    This one is color matched to my Timberland mica truck, but it's dark so a color change wouldnt be hard. Also has all the holes already drilled for the mesh. I dremeled the center all out myself, took hours because im OCD and i free handed the cut, but it is damn near perfect

    That's badass. I'm just going to stick with my grill, but if I get the bullbar I want, the devil horns I wanted wouldn't be visible.

    Makes sense. I have been here meaning to do the fogs anytime mod for a while now, just haven’t got around to it. I hardly ever use highs anyway, and mostly just use my light bar instead with lows and fogs.

    Makes sense, I did it before I had extra lighting hardly ever use fogs just with parking lights before sunset. When headlights come on I turn them off.

    Wow thats awesome! i wish mine did this. i've only locked mine in my truck once and that was enough to whoop me into shape. A badass random dude in the lowes parking lot helped me get it open. Does it have push button start? and does it lock the doors after you get a certain distance away from it with the key?

    I run my fogs all the time at night. I like the extra lighting out to the sides. I want ditch lights, but will still use fogs on the road.
