    I also think I found a good place to mount some fog lights. Either my D2s or I may sell those and get a couple SR2s from rigid instead. In amber.

    Just don't get driving beams for fogs like I did....

    Just too much distance for fogs. I'll eventually throw these up between the hood and windshield and buy a pair of fog D2's.

    I'd probably choose the wide pattern if it's an amber fog. And then I'll get a 20" bar in driving plus a couple spotlights :cool: I saw a jeep today that had 3 40" bars. Two on his roof and one below the windshield. I thought to myself that is ridiculous, but damn I want that and more haha.

    That's just overkill. There is such a thing as too much light aimed at one spot haha

    I want 3 more sets of D2's. Two sets of wides for fogs and reverse lights, and a set of diffused to mount on the bed rack that I can adjust when I want.

    I see what you mean now haha. Mines the same way. I can only get the two side bolts on the driver side in. Bottom ones are off slightly. Looks like I'll have to remove some of the nice powder coating. Luckily it's in a spot nobody will see :)

    Yep I just took a file to mine. Now I've got all four bottom bolts in, and one of the side ones in. I mayyyyy have cut off one of those side nuts on each side when I built my own bumper :anonymous: so I'll have 6 bolts total once they're all in so I'm not worried. Those four on the bottom are the ones that are important.

    So a file did it, eh? I think I'll roll around like I am until mod day and tackle that then.

    Yeah it took maybe 15 minutes to file about 1/4" from two of the holes. It wasn't too bad

    Relocated my blinkers today. Super simple. Although the first batch of epoxy I mixed up was expired. Supposed to be 5 minute epoxy but it wouldn't cure. Took over an hour to even resemble curing haha. So I went to the store to get some more and it definitely cured in 5 minutes. Went from liquid to solid in about 10-15 seconds.

    haha yeah. He told me mine was cooler than yours because it had one lol.

    Also, mod day or fishing in PWS? Decisions decisions. But I think I'll probably go on the boat instead and deal with my bumper modifications later...

    Pretty sure that's a notch for a hi-lift jack and not a bottle opener haha

    Negative. I asked him to put a bottle opener in mine. Speaking of that though, there are no hi lift notches...

    I think the center sections of our are probably the same thing and he just built plate wings for yours instead of tube.
