    I looked through your build info and couldn't find what headlights those are. I assume Kustom 54. What color of black are they, flat or satin? I can't decide what color I want mine to be.

    While this is true.....I like my Cali-Raised ditch lights and brackets. They work for me. On the other hand, I’m saving up for a Rigid LED lightbar for my grill that costs over $800. But, I’m OK with that because that is the one I like the most. Just my thoughts. Hopefully, when I have the money saved, it will be on sale——I can dream. Christmas money all spent for this year. Had to pay property taxes that were due on the 15th—ouch. And a crown for one of my teeth—-ouch. Life sucks.

    Monday’s damage is sorted. Replaced the rotors on both sides since the driver side had a nice flat spot. Swapped the hub out with a factory spare that I had in the shop and did some plastic surgery to the damaged McNeil fender. Going to pick up some JB weld and see if I can repair the headlamp assembly mounting tabs as all but one are now broken.

    Because Tojo has been so good to me I’m heading out to wash it in a few minutes.

    ArianWhiteTaco, thanks for this great find. I too pulled the trigger on these rims as I will need new tires soon and wanted to replace my rims at the same time. My only concern is that my order is still pending fulfillment after four days. Hope you are having better luck or received yours.

    Cali raised are perfectly fine lights. I understand you may have had a negative experience with them but myself and others have not. I have 8 on the truck and have never had a single issue with them. No moisture, they are bright as hell, and the finish has stayed in tact except on one. For an item that is used only periodically on my truck i couldn't ask for better. Why in the hell would I waste all the extra money on BD's or Rigids when the Cali Raised are more than adequate. And no they are not the same as the cheap Amazon lights I have had both in fact still have anout 6 of the cheap lights and these are far brighter.
