    Front and rear strobes all done thanks to the harnesses I got from @Puppypunter, Waiting on some more wire loom to wrap the long harness that goes from the tail lights to the front. Also waiting on a few more waterproof plugs to hook up the reverse any time lights.

    Then all thats left is to run the wires for the mirror strobes, and wait for the new @MESO mirror signals so I can get the mirror strobes running.

    I also have new switches coming in, the one thats setup right now will say "strobe light" on it, then the one next to it thats for reverse lights will get moved over 1 slot and a momentary switch will be put there. I just need to etch the switch with something so it says change mode or something.

    I'm not a fan of the pro grille honestly... But I'm also not a fan of gold/copper/bronze wheels, or black wheels with shiny "beadlock" bolts, or any scs wheels except the ray10, and only them when the beadlock bolts are black... Which makes me in the minority around here.

    This does however make it trickier for me to find wheels I like... Lots of wheels I like, if only they didn't have the generic silver/shiny beadlock bolts. Like black or gunmetal Ray10, method NV, icon rebound etc.

    That being said, I don't hate on anyone else's build, I love that we all have our own opinions and styles, it keeps things more interesting and keeps lots of options on the market.

    Very true.. This past summer was spent doing the audio.. Should have run the harness while I had it apart.

    Nice! Glad it turned out good. I really had no idea how the @MESO switchbacks would act as a strobe, but they look pretty amber. :thumbsup:

    Yeah, I was concerned a bit about the shared ground for the switchbacks, I know the shared ground causes issues when you put on your turn signal and reverse lights (hyper flash) But in the end they worked perfect.

    It's a tailgate panel. Easy install. Don't forsee any problems. My Butt and Knees are happy. I can tell you that.

    I am using vleds front turn signals, and meso total tails. puppypunter built me some plug and play harnesses that had leads coming out of each of the turn signals with diodes in them. Then I just wired those leads into a strobe controller. No cutting, no drilling, no modifying of anything was involved in this, its all plug and play and uses the factory turn signal bulb (swapped to LED)

    These are the front harnesses


    Here is one of the rears
