    That was my doings with mounting it inside the bumper :D Huge pita though.. and honestly after having 2 20" led bars id recommend a single 40" over the roof or the 20" over the roof.. the higher up LED's are the better they seem to perform.. Ive since sold mine and will be replacing with a 40" sometime

    Nice man, I forgot you helped with that. And yeah if I get this other job it will be 2nd or 3rd shift so I might work with a buddy during the day at his led shop. Hoping to get a discount on a 40" to mount just above the windshield, barely breaking the roofline.

    Finally got around to putting some of my rock lights on. Turned out pretty good! I've got 4 under the bed and 16 more to mount haha.

    Thanks bud!


    Finished mounting and wiring my rock lights together. Pretty happy with them for $40! Still need to secure the wires with zip ties and silicone and get my switch wired up.

    I have 2 modules left over, any ideas on where to put them? I was thinking under the hood.

    For $40 great job with the lights! maybe you could put them in the door sills and wire them up with the door so when you open your door they will turn on, or behind the grill, lower valance, under dash, in center console, or back seat...

    Yeah I was happy with them for the price! A lot more time consuming than I was expecting.. I already have all LED interior lights so I don't really need them in there. I think I'm going to put them under the hood I just wanted to see if anyone else had an idea that sparked my interest. I may put one in each floor board but we'll see

    I bought them for $40 locally. I've had a few people ask me about sending them some already haha so I might can include you if you're interested.

    Started on my next project. Got tired of having my giant sub box take up the entire back seat so I took the bench out and I'm building a box to take it's place. The box will also allow for the seats to stay in for a super stealthy look. Still have to glass the bottom and trim some interior panels and make another top piece that will sit on the actual top of the box so that when the seats are down they are not contacting the subs.

    Ha yeah, I get bored easy. This one cost me less than $50 too! Just a shit-ton of time.

    High clearance rear bumper is probably next.

    And I start my new job this Wednesday!!
