    Thought about making one, but by the time i fab it up and PC it, it would have been easier/prob cheaper for me to just snag one from BAMF. Unless you want to make me one for the pass side?? ;)

    I just looked up the invoice. Tirecrawler.com is where i got them.

    Your HCB is so fine. Makes me want to add it into my order now...

    Yeah, I would agree. I was looking at the windoors with the addition of a built in toolbox on one of the windoors

    That does look slick... I have never seen those.

    Side-note: Always been jealous of the states where you don't have to run a front license plate. Gonna end up using magnets when my front gets here I guess.

    I dont under stand the front bumper thing....:confused: would an officer use it to go front of me and look in his rear view to see my license plate? Or is it for cameras?

    I always thought it was to run your plates from across an intersection etc. That or just another excuse to pull you over for some feeler questions :boink:. I cant think of another reason honestly.

    Yeah I have been playing with a vanity plate generator on my DMV website. If you gotta have one, might as well make it yours. They either look good or horrendous. Its got me hesitant to pull the trigger though.

    Bored at work... started thinking about putting LEDs under the truck and in the wheel wells. Specifically for use in camp to light up the ground. Would also like them to tie into the dome light so they fade on and off when you unlock or lock the truck. [OFF-DOME-ON] I have seen it done here, so I'm sure there is a write up somewhere.

    So- I started researching lights...
    - 4 for each wheel well, 6 on the frame = 10 lights
    - waterproof/dustproof/shockproof/lowprofile - harsh environment
    - budget friendly

    Any one else think about doing this? Have any recommendations on lights or how to rig this up?

    This is one option I stumbled across...

    Truck is looking good. I always love seeing access cabs being done right. Any more photos of the roof rack? Mine is just standing by waiting to be installed once time is available.
