    I know he's swamped, and not pissed he hasn't responded, I get it. Just could have sworn he mentioned when I bought my bumper that he said someone had done this. Before I order I just want the facts.

    I think billy had mentioned to me a while ago that someone had used a soft top over his bed rack. I just want to confirm it can be done.

    Doing lots of other mods helps pass the time. At least that's my plan.

    I text billy couple days ago. He didnt get back to me until the next day. Pretty much asked how he was doing and stuff and I tried to get him to go to moab this year but sounds like he wont make it. I might go this year for my first year. But he pretty much told me hes swamped with orders. But moab is still in the air for me

    Hot off the press! Now I just need to install the other lights and wire them. Relocate my horns and winch solenoid box. Loving the look! So worth it!!

    Hot damn that's a clean looking well done build. Yeah, don't over due it. I've got lift / tires / aux fuse block & wiring to keep me busy at least for a while. Oh, and the 6500 photos in my editing backlog when the weather isn't good for wrenching on the truck.

    Of the front? The fascia, aluminum structure behind that, the metal piece that connects the headlight supports, some other miscellaneous plastic stuff. Pretty straightforward

    No problem, it's pretty easy. You have to grind down 2 studs on the inside parts of the headlight, oh and cut the inner fender liners but it's not bad.

    The straight piece that connects the headlight supports needs to be removed? What did you do to keep those headlight supports straight so the fillers under the headlight still fit ok?

    It's just a piece that connects from the insides of both headlights and at the middle of the grille area. You re attach the nuts at each headlight and grind the stud down. All the structure below the headlights stays intact.
