    Yeah, don't think that would go over so well... Haha

    It'd be a lot easier to have a garage so I can set them on a bench and aim them against a wall versus waiting until it gets dark and try to find good level ground.

    Not going to bother trying to sell something for $500+ and not do it the best way I can.

    Besides a proper workspace, is there anything else you would do differently? I very tempted to go the route you did.
    ie buy a new set of head lights and build them in my spare time. I do have the garage workspace. I am just trying to avoid any other issues.

    Winch will be after I order an Elite and skids.

    I really have no clue when I will finally go 35's. Probably not until next year.

    Bed rack is still being built I assume. Was told it would ship out last week, so I'm going to call first thing in the morning...

    I'm definitely not going to make another set until I can use and oven haha 1 hour per headlight using a heat gun sucked....

    Nothing I can think of that I would do differently. Pretty straight forward honestly, just time consuming.

    I'm tempted to have a go at some FX-R's.... But I'm not sure about the fitment and heat production of those with the lens.

    Also, I'd go ahead an opt for the nightbreaker bulbs. I've heard good things about them.

    You got the allpro that's like as tall as the cab right?

    Yeah, that's the only one they make haha It's just slightly below the cab.

    If you're saying I should have gotten a lower sitting bed rack, that's just a matter of opinion. I wanted the taller bed rack to make the annex on the rtt useful. Plus the larger bed rack can store more stuff on the sides.

    That's what I thought... Haha

    I gave up on mpg when Winter hit haha

    These warm days are giving me some nice gains in mpg though... When I do finally regear it'll be nice!

    No clue honestly, not much at all haha a bumper by itself won't add much weight. It's when you add the winch, lights, and skids with the bumper that it begins to add up.

    All that's left is measuring and cutting a power wire from the breaker to the battery. Then I just have to bolt and connect everything :D

    It's not that complicated really haha

    That black box does the same thing the fuse box under your hood does. It's just an additional one for me to run accessories to so that I don't have a rats nest of wiring running to the battery.
