    I believe it's a drain/splash protector...looking for PN.

    EDIT: Frame Plug designed to drain water but prevent it from entering.

    Flush mount S2 looks, good man! Glad to hear you are enjoying the lighting. We have bezels and brackets available as well if you ever want to convert it to a regular light.

    I do FSR at least once a month and some other mild off roading. My OEM tires were Goodyear AT with Kevlar, almost 45,000KM on them and been really happy with them, they do get aired down to 20 PSI when off pavement, I will upgrade before my trip this summer, looking at either Falken Wildpeak AT or Mickey Thompson Baja Boss AT. I definitely want 3 ply sidewalls

    Thank you. I appreciate the perspective and do recognize the risk you mention. :proposetoast:

    fwiw it does have a spring loaded plunger pin.. although I'm unsure it'd save full swing on a side-to-side hill. Once finished.. if it seems like an issue I'll just weld in a stop at something like 120 degrees (or whatever angle will keep the arm out of oncoming traffic.)

    :welder:

    The hinge is sold by various retailers.. it's probably overkill.

    When ordering, my advice is to buy several of these at a time. They seem to get broken when the truck gets put on the lift. Go figure...

    I noticed the same thing on my truck. After wiping it off and inspecting the area thoroughly I came to the conclusion that it was from oil that was spilled during an oil change onto my skid plate, then being mixed with debris and deposited here when I drove the truck.

    The lights are Harbor Freight Road Shock and I 3D printed the angled mounts. I have lights on both sides...

    That is a drain. The dealership busted my passenger side one on the second (and last) oil change they did. I replaced mine however I don't recall the part number. Having had a rusty first gen I would think it's somewhat important or it would not be there

    Thank you. I just busted mine today and it looks like the other may be broken too.
