    The old lights on the bumper were pretty sad looking so I removed them. I'm going to get some either fog or driving/flood lights to replace these and was just looking for some recommendations.IMG_7084.jpg

    How'd you mount that light bar? Did you make a custom bracket?

    Meant to get you a measurement on those d rings today, totally spaced it. Ill hook it up tomorrow. As far as mounting that light bar i had to search and search to find ones that have adjustable mounts that slide along the entire back of the bar. At work i found ones in a northern tool catalog "ultra tow" brand that have this feature, also ok led sells a bar like that as well. There was one other too but i cant rember what brand it was for the life of me...i went with the ok led bar. Its not that great but it lights up pretty well. If i were to do it again id prolly get a better high end brand and utilize a piece of flat stock steel bolted to the light tabs on the bumper then bolt the light bar to the flat stock(itd be super easy to do, buy a piece of steel and drill four holes) and id prolly mount it upside down, under the tabs instead of on top of them, idk... i do like it how it is now too but seems itd look a lil cleaner if mounted under the tabs. Or hell, if a guy went with the flat stock then youve got the ability to mount two bars, one above and one below!!

    I received my bumper which included 4" PIAA's. They are definitely bright and compact. Bumper is a Shrock Works, not ARB.

    Hope this gives you ideas.

    No worries...I think they might be the 7/8" ones but I just want to make sure.

    That looks good...Are you sure that's not photoshopped?

    No photoshop there my friend.
    I am too old to understand how to use it. That's just a pic from my Iphone 5s.

    I think the sunlight has something to do with it... damn nature.

    Haha...well good looking truck then.

    I got some light force 140 lances for free. For being a small ass light they definitely put out. And they mount pretty nicely. I'd definitely consider them. Plus they have different lenses for different driving conditions. So you can swap the color of them in literally 30 seconds.
