    Do you have a separate switch to turn them on or do they just come on with your lights?

    I noticed when cornering on a dark, narrow road that the headlights don't help much there. Anyone ever add "cornering lights" to the bumper for this?

    If nothing is flapping or moving around, I wouldn't worry about it or just remove it all together. Earlier trucks didn't have that brace.

    How does the Atlas lift work for you? I've been looking to pick up a lift and I was considering one of these.

    Hey which method did you use to do this mod. I've read through some of the methods here on the site and am considering the one with just a jumper going to the bent tab in the fuse box, whaddaya think? Any funny after effects that you may have picked up on after this mod??

    I just bought those myself, and now feel more confident about my purchase since having read your post. Going to put them on next week. Love the look on an MHM Taco

    The quality may not be what a retrofit can be, but these projectors are very good. How they hold will be determined with time, but they throw light very well and have a good cutoff. And they’re not $1k!

    Got my bed mat in from Camelback yesterday and dropped it in. Can't recommend them enough if you're looking to get one. Best price I could find for a new one shipped.

    Also got in a Foam Cannon, some Chemical Guys and Adam's washes and detailing bits, and a Rigid wet/dry vac. Had a bit of a hairy time at the carwash, and decided it best that I do my own washing at the casa. Less damage that way, maybe, we'll see...

    My OCD console organizers should get here today after a flub up on Amazon's part. Ordered them on the 13th, and they're just getting in.

    Now I'm looking into speakers that work well with the stock head unit. And possibly hunting down an Entune plus to swap out for my standard one, really haven't decided if I'm gonna pull the trigger on that just yet.

    Someone remind me again why I thought it'd be a good idea to join this forum?!? Damn...

    Question for the guys who have done the sound deadening to the back panel. How much do I need just for behind the rear seats? Installing a Molle panel and wanted to add this beforehand.
