    Figured I would show my switch for the KC Daylighters. The other switch is empty right now. I think I'm going to use it for some auxiliary reverse lights. I really just want it for night trailer hookups and loading the bass boat.

    I have done all the hi-pro mods for a life time, since I got this truck at a great price, I will be happy with showroom new.
    that looks like a real good set up. hard to believed how warm it is and that fishing is starting, and being here i started sneezing last week.

    The dual console was optional when I ordered it. I didn't want it. It makes maneuvering around the boat much easier without it. My dad and I both went halves on the boat. We both own "Save Phace" facemasks and Pro Qualifier rain suits so it doesn't really bother you much when running 70mph in a rainstorm.

    I especially love our new Humminbird 1187 Side Imaging unit. That thing is killer.

    Put on the SlimCubby GB 8000K HID lights tonight. Sorry for the light over-saturation issue that my camera phone can't handle.

    Thanks. I will have to say I was disappointed with the hardware and instructions, but the fit and finish are excellent.

    Starting the rear custom bumper build this week.

    will most definitely be bought after the lift and when i have a salary, not a wage. AND if i decide not to just go ahead and make my own. 797 is kinda steep imo

    Sounds like a lot, but my last brush guard (before the crash) was $500 and a brush guard is near worthless. Unless you can fab it yourself, material + labor racks up quickly. A tube bumper may save coin over a plate bumper. Otherwise, from my research it seems a full front plate bumper starts at about $700 or $800.

    After much-ado, me and my buddy finally got started on the rear plate bumper. I hope to finish it up in the next couple of weeks. Between fishing, repairing my DD junker Honda, and now working on a road-race S10 I've been putting this bumper off. I'll post pics as we progress.
