    went to go eat and find out squadron sports are pretty nuts. way bright and they're the cheap ones. The pros are supposed to be way brighter. Good thing i didn't get those for fogs.

    Tried vinyl wrap for the first time. Didn't come out as good as i would have liked. I had some bubbles get stuck in the middle which turned into wrinkles. Cuts the glare off the hood so ill leave it for now.

    Hey man, few questions.
    Where did you get the fog lights and front cam?
    How are the vibes after the shim?

    That aside love where this is going but looks like we both need roof racks haha

    I actually have no idea. I'm so far behind on finishing up my projects the white light hasn't been hooked up yet. I rushed to install the light before the bumper because i knew I'd have a hard time installing it after. Hooking up the amber lights was a five minute job for one of the guys helping me install my bumper so we did it that day.

    No vibes. Truck is pretty smooth.

    Front cam was a China job off Amazon. No sense I post a link because I ordered twice and got two different cams. Clicked buy again and everything was different. The lights are Baja designs. I like them. They're actually too bright for all the mall crawling I do. The cornering lenses are a bit wide for driving around town. Maybe different results with the spot lenses.

    Im actually hoping to make a bed rack that goes over the cab halfway. Just one of those things I haven't gotten to. (See previous post)

    ordered a urd y-pipe. the first one they sent was for second gen but we got it right on the second try. no instructions but pretty simple. only a very slight increase in volume. might actually be same but a little more rumble.

    had to decide whether or not to order a new rear skid or modify the one i have with the nut sack. decided i wanted instant gratification and it would be cheaper to work with what i got.

    been pretty busy but was able to get this project pounded out.
    took off the steel bed rail caps and replaced them with 3/8" alum plate. utilized the factory bed cover bracket bolt holes. forgot to mention that the revolver bed cover still works with it.

    Dang dude, great job on all these projects! I'm impressed that you made a bed rack that works with the Revolver X2. I've been trying to figure out hot to do something like that and now you've given me proof it can be done!! :thumbsup:
