    There's a whole new line of flush mount diffused D2s that I think would work well in a HCRB.

    Just a matter of purchasing them ahead of time and sending them off to your company of choice to be recessed and bolt holes drilled.

    Someone mentioned at a recent meet that they just did an HID kit for the reverse lights. Straight plug and play. Said they got the idea from xrunner.com

    If the D2S are the same size as the original height wise, the won't fit in an ATO.

    Same size. The flush mounts have quite a bit of trim on them too. I want to Go D2 diffused flush in my bumper. Hell even considered cutting the stock one for now. Tired of not being able to see shit backing up. 886 Fogs blow the stock lights and LED drop ins out of the water but still not great.

    I don't see why not. Always wondered how they wire roof lights up without having wires everywhere. where do they enter the cab at? :confused:

    I know on the 12+'s with shark fin antenna's people are going through them and resealing with silicone. Not sure where the 05-11 guys are doing it, besides drilling a hole in the roof.

    Rigid SRQ's

    I'd just go D2's if you wanna go Rigid. Insanely bright, plenty of mounting options.

    And the D2s can be easily sold used. Not as much of a niche market on them because they are versatile. One more reason to go Rigid instead of Chinese shit - resale value

    I will be drilling a hole into my cab through the roof under/ in the channel for the stock roof rack would go. Then either silicon or a hot melt to seal it back up. On my topper, probably will be a hole on each side since there will be 4 bars on it. I need to see when they come in what size hole to consider

    Depends what beam you go with. Driving is the best all around from what I've read. I have them mounted on my hood with famous fab brackets. Bright is a understatement.

    I was reading on a raptor board. They install Rigid E Series 40" behind their grills :jawdrop:

    Installing on the Yakima is no issue. I remember seeing some circle style mounts for bars in a couple Rigid install videos on youtube.

    When the RDS is finally released, might pick one up in yellow, need to see the size for our vehicles though.

    Hey, Arron. When uploading the images from Tapatalk, select "image" instead of "attachment". That way they show up full sized.

    I'd go with a Blue Sea fuse block in the bed in one of the cubbies that way the only wires you're not having to run a bunch of wires all over the place.e

    Hey Southside people, what are some nice restaurants over in Chesapeake??

    Italian or sushi would be a strong win, price not a big deal?
