    OME 883 front, OMD 3.5" rear, Relentless front bumper, smittybilt 9.5K winch
    New (work) truck
    The headlights wig-wag as do the tail lights, got some hide-away strobes for the fog lights, I want to put some work lights on the roof rack, some Aux (flush mount) reverse/switched lights near the license plate, probably end up with a small strobe bar up on top of the rack as well, and I want some additional lighting up front, thinking two yellow driving lights (HID maybe?) and a couple of LED's angled out for side coverage, maybe ditch light brackets.
    Oh, and definitely making the reverse lights match on the truck, they're driving me up the wall like that.
    For switches we're going with a STL Wireless setup and possibly a MICTuning Touch box.

    Eventually the front bumper will be replaced with a steel bumper and not the brush guard.

    :rofl:
    42's would not do well towing with the 3.73 gearing.

    How are you going to use the truck? e.g., if you are selling ice cream you need a freezer.

    Don't need lockers, not really enough body to gave sliders, a Hi-Lift is a good idea though.....

    Tow/maintenance rig for a D3 dozer and 289D Skid steer, I want the truck to have fuel (100 gallon tank) water (Tool box/tank combo) a Pressure washer, a hose reel (PTO powered Air compressor) it will tow either a 30' Gooseneck flatbed or 20' gooseneck dump trailer.
    I'm thinking some low profile tool boxes on top of the bed for chains/binders.
    I also want to put a power inverter somewhere on the truck because we use a battery powered 1/2" drive impact and batter powered grease gun.

    Backup camera is from the factory (I think it's the little bump on top of the rack) but I would like to get a license plate one as well.

    Would go pneumatic impact over electric. Cornwell has some real good ones if you know of a tool truck.

    I work on machines, so if you need a tools list I can help ya out

    How about a full Banks turbo and exhaust upgrade?

    Trying to keep the powertrain stock less EGR and DPF/SCR delete, Probably will end up with a 4" turbo back and a Edge CTS for monitoring.

    Already have both, electric is good for general maintenance and changing tires on the trailers, pneumatic is a little more heavy duty and I have a blue Point impact for that.

    Might do the exhaust eventually but I doubt we will do engine tuning, the Aisin trans in the Cab and Chassis trucks don't really have tuning available for them.

    Got your PM thanks! :thumbsup:

    Got a crazy Idea from Dad for our equipment trailer, we load our skid steer backwards, it has a backup camera be it can be difficult to see the center/sides when it's dark, we have 3/4" plywood on top of the deck so we are going to router channels in the plywood, insert LED rope lights and then put clear poly on them to seal it all up and so we have a red stripe down the middle and an amber stripe on each side, and maybe put green crossways to properly load tongue weight as well.
