    Curious... I understand that's a bed rack probably, but how is it going to be orientated in your bed?

    So decided to permanently affix my fog lights to my truck. Before I had them on there with a bunch of zip tires and knew that would not be the permanent solution. Very firmly in place now. Took about 4 hours, with the added trip to Lowes to get a few things I realized I did not have.

    I used that kit. YOU HAVE TO BUY AND USE A CLEAR COAT to end the process or else your assemblies will be yellow hazed in 7 months. I learned the hard way
