    Hows the glare (if any) with having the LED light bar on top?

    Horrible lol. It whistles like an aileron on a 737. However, Rigid has some noise dampeners I'll pick up this week for it that we didn't get get yet. Supposed to make it almost un-noticeable after they're put on I suppose.

    Only damage was I broke my flag pole, exhaust fell off a little more (need to bolt it back together lol), and some scrapes on the bedside that look awesome:

    Also ordered the Metra silver single/double din converter kit for the dash. Doing a single din conversion with the laser cut switches in the second spot to control lights and such. Looking at picking up the Kenwood KDC-BT955HD to replace my radio (Bluetooth, USB, AUX, HD Radio, turns orange to match the dash, ect).

    So... this is why you should romp the truck hard and get some air time with shocks that have no pressure, oil, and too much pre-load....

    Nothing some Icon 2.5" RR CDC's can't fix :p

    Holy shit that's a lot of light. Is there any glare off of the hood at your eye level?

    The hood does get light but it's not blinding or glare-ish at all. Honestly I couldn't be happier. Well, lies... I'll be happier when I can put it to use off-road when I get my new Icon's up front ;) And when the 20" combo is wired up it'll nicely fill in the close/side gaps.

    I haven't had a chance to test it much yet but... I love how it's set right now... I'd say about as perfect as one could hope.
