    I'll find a way haha! going through the back window will look kinda ghetto but i think i can make it not totally obvious. once inside i'll probably just peel down the roof liner like i would if i drilled then run everything along that.

    I vote you have Colin build you a rack like mine and I'll drop it off at the Coast Guard station by me and they can hand deliver it to you on one of the C-130s.

    :drool::drool: looks very good ryan! i’m think about one kinda like yours. i know i’ll have a 20” rigid on front, and some kinda side lighting kinda like you have, but not at the angle. and some rear facing lights. i thought about putting lights on the tool box i’m going to get, but thing having them up higher, they wont be right in your eyes as much when setting up camp or loading a trailer/bed of truck.

    Thanks bud!

    I talked to rigid about the angled duallys; and the consensus was "the 20 is bright enough the duallys are not going to do anything, put them on an angle to light up the woods". They are easy enough to adjust anyway, loosen bolt, spin, tighten bolt.

    Waiting on a certain fabricator to finish up his rear bumper so I can make an excuse to buy another pair for the rear. Maybe that is the idea...no lights in the rear, back up into something at night, buy a real rear bumper...and put lights in it. :D

    your welcome! yeah, i’ll have 3 maybe 4 round lights on my front bumper when i get it. those will be for fog than anything, or light up the ditch on the way to hunt at 4:30am they wont he HID or anything. but i was trail riding saturday and their was some sharp/tight turns, i could not see shit around them, i need some more light to the front and some at angle to the front. also will have one light on each side about where your Duallys are mouthed, but will face 90 degrees to the truck, kinda like how cop cars have the “ally” lights, so i can se how side trails to see if i can/ want to go down them.
