    Well, three years to the month on the Toyo Open Country R/T 285/70R17's, not too bad. Havent calculated the miles yet, but I would say more than 30K, just guessing.

    Put on a set of BFG Ko2's, same 285/70R17, so lets see how they do. Like to look and they are very quiet too!! 20180816_165635.jpg 20180816_165651.jpg

    It is made by Avid....

    https://avidoffroad.com/cart/index....12-2014-toyota-tacoma-front-bumper-guard.html

    Regarding the wiring on the light bar, I may have more info here on my build page. We made a complete wiring harness for all the lighting and then installed it at one time through a fuse box and a switch panel in the cab.

    Post #92 shows the fuse box with the disconnect switch and a ground block. Find the threads on the Bussman fuse box and you will see how its done!

    I was trying to find how you ran the wires from your roof light? Down into the cab or down the window?

    Here are a couple photos...

    I cut the thick SO cord off the bar and replaced it with the same size wire in heat shrink tube. I soldiered the splice and covered ea h splice with 1"sections of heat shrink, then conerwd the whole section with heat shrink.

    I kept the two wires side by side in the heat shrink and it made a nice flat thin wire. I then tucked it in under the windshield moulding between the glass and post. There is just enough gao to fit it in snugly.

    Then I routed the wire to my fuse panel, then to the firewall abd to my switch panel....

    Yep, my parents left a year ago and are building a big house on 8 acres outside Prescott.

    First thing I did was normal up my AR-15s.

    I could get used to the constitutional carry here in AZ!
