    Quick updates:

    Flush mount LED pods for the rear bumper came in and I pulled them all apart, sealed them, reassembled them, and then bolted them up.

    New fog lights came in. Again I pulled them apart and sealed them and reassembled them. @Mr.Miyagi whipped up some sort of fancy plastic spacers on the Bridgeport for me to get them to right height. I bolted them up with stainless hardware and they look great.

    Also, my freedom offroad UCA’s came in. They look nice and beefy! Box says made in Taiwan which I think is funny because the company is “Freedom Offroad USA” But anyway, here’s some pics ...
