    Here's a rough shot of the brackets. Still need to prep and paint and will mount the duallys to them once they arrive.

    Well got the lights and the brackets work, but seem about an inch or so too tall. The bracket included with the light makes it sit higher and just looks a little funny. So back to the metal shop to make shorter ones!

    So I dry fit the tracrac one today with the bed basket and tool box to check the fit. Looks like everything will fit. The only problem I'm having is it looks like the clamps, designed for our trucks and bed rail, are coming into contact with my bed lights under the rails. These also are a PITA to get on and off. When I can get some one to help me position everything, or it stops raining outside, I'll bolt it all down and see how it goes with the canoe.

    Yeah very effective. I'm going to have to re do the brackets again unfortunately. The steel I made them with is too thin and shakes as I drive so it looks kinda like a strobe anyway. If it's used just for reversing its great.

    Sub'd! Great build! I'll be following along closely. Where did you end up putting your switch panel? I really like the clean look! I'm also doing a "looks like it shoulda came that way" build and am curious about where to put all my light switches.

    I have the front LED bar and rear window switch in the factory blanks on the dash. The other lights are on the switch-pros panel. I attached it into the front sunglasses holder. My sunglasses won't fit in that one and allows the panel to fold out of the way when I don't need it. No one would ever know it was there.

    Ah! That's right! I meant to ask about the switch-pros panel, but reading back a few pages, I found the pics you posted. Digging the logo too btw. I wanted similar bedside decals, but you beat me to it.

    Yeah I'm pretty fond of the decal. Lol that panel though is pretty damn awesome. Its going to be real awesome when they finish up the APP for Apple. Then while sitting at the campfire I can toggle my lights on and off with my phone!

    They're in the Norris Watershed in East TN. Nothing crazy, a few mud pits but pretty laid back.

    Well after much debate and hesitation I took a leap today....ordered a TRD supercharger and fit kit. The fit kit is back ordered and should be a month out. With the supercharger being discontinued I figured I might as well just go for it. Gonna probably have to relocate my fuse panel after the install so anyone with ideas of a location it would be greatly appreciated. Hoping to keep it roughly in the same area.

    Well I spoke too soon. I can get the supercharger all day long but there is no fit kits available. The fit kit I ordered got canceled and after searching on the internet zero have turned up. The ones I do find are already reserved by someone else....:pout:
