    Damn, those are beautiful! You have some serious cabinet-making skills. Anytime I try precision cutting it's always "measure twice, cut wrong, curse thrice, and cut again".

    Well I figured I needed to fit it first before I got it painted. It took a lot of massaging and bending of tabs to get it to fit. I also need to see if my old fender flare is usable or if I need to replace it. If I have to replace it I'll most likely need to get that painted at the same time so I'd rather just do it all at once.

    They're probably there to help keep water and debris from collecting in the horns, which is also why the horns are pointed towards the ground. I removed mine after another member pointed out that they do muffle the sound slightly. Even after a couple of years I haven't had any problems or critters nesting in there.

    Yeah mine was the same way. A lot of massaging it to get it back on. I rattle canned mine with color match and clear coat before I put it on and out turned out pretty good. Still had my flare so I didn't have to worry about that part. Good luck getting it all buttoned up :thumbsup:

    So will I. This happened yesterday on my way to get the crush washers and new spark plugs.

    Of course it happened on the Highway and I "apparently" didn't feel like pulling over to capture the moment.

    I was installing fog lights in my 2014 double cab, my truck was prewired just needed the lights and a switch. I pulled out all the blank switches and I have another wire ready to connect to a switch in the far right blank. From the research I've done this is usually the spot for the inverter switch. Is that what this wire would be I doubt i have an inverter if my truck didn't come with fog lights but I haven't taken the console out yet to know for sure. If that is what that wire is for how simple would it be to add an inverter to my truck, what about an aftermarke Inverter, anyone have much experience with this.
