    Like the center console mounting position. I've thought about putting a light bar switch there too.

    I like the doors. I also like the hood but i think it'd look better if the scoop was blacked out as well.

    PERFECT! Is that where the hidden 7 pin mounts? I had thought it was under and behind the bumper, but if that's where it pugs, it's even better! Thanks again!

    Any issue with the license plate getting in the way of a hitch? I bought a long (11" I think) receiver hitch

    Finally found time to wire up the CaliRaised ditch lights. I’ll have to take pics....decided to put in two locations where I can disconnect the switch especially being in the center console area. If the switch goes bad, I can disconnect under dash and tear up the bad switch to replaced and not have to take apart center console. Split the two Led's on the switch (white) so when regular lights are turned on lower led comes on. Makes it easy to find the switch. Top led comes on when I press the switch on. Decided to go through firewall at grommet just right of brake fluid. Purchased one from Lowe’s. Just took my time. Want pictures?

    It was one of the first that Avid Off Road built..they still make them....nice units, well made ..GREAT coating...as I remember it took longer to unwrap the damn thing then to install....One thing I like is all the weight rests on the bed sides, not just bolted into the rail system....

    No issues at all, other the plate is angled up when the receiver is installed, so leaving it in all the time is not an option, which is ok for me.

    Yes it is, but normally the plug gets moved to the bottom of the bumper, but I asked Joe if it could be moved to behind the plate. And he said no problem.

    BTW, I have more pictures of the bumper if your interested, close up, side views?

    Dang! I didn't ask for this. I'm not sure how far along my bumpers are but they should be delivered in a few weeks.

    The key to adding texture paint is to follow it up with a coat of semi-gloss black, as soon as the texture paint dries. :thumbsup:

    I have a switch that says ditch lights, but wanted something different—more entertaining.

    Added relay plate from Caliraised where I can add 3 more relays for future.

    Picture doesn’t show it, but wire is tight through grommet.

    Clean install of wires. Redline tuning hood struts should be standard from factory. Installed these months ago. Had them also in my 05.

    Since I tow in the Rockies, knowing transmission temp is mandatory.

    Caliraised ditch lights. No switch locations available on left side. Had to use center.
