    I'm tempted to do this but isn't there an issue with how the original moves? I've also got some LEDs to wire into it

    Issue? I see no issues with it. I guess I also haven’t used my 4wd since putting it on also

    I had those and threw them in the trash, to ricey for me. And they didn't stay in well, I bought the AJT knobs but you had to take the little metal piece out of the OEM knobs to make them work.

    I got them as a gift, so far I like them. They match my hurst shifter. Hopefully no issues down the road but if there is, I’ll have to go a different route. Time will tell. For now, I like them.

    I've got extra and I would just tap into the wires that provide lights to the switches. The ones I have are white

    I have some white one myself, is there a place for the led behind the 4wd knob?

    I got them from ebay. I love my x-bull winch and a TON of people run these traction boards so I went with the brand again. got them for $74 on ebay. They seem very heavy duty. They have holes in them for mounting and they do stack together. ill be using my bar mounts with some hardware to mount them. probably wingnuts or plastic knobs for easy access. They also come in other colors. I went with black to match everything else.

    Yes, I have no plans to use the bag but it did come with it. I plan to double the use of these boards and use them as leveling blocks for camping as well.

    Nice makes sense, I'm so new to all of this. I have the Ultimate Mall Princess but no clue what to do with it.

    I’ve needed them in the past while winter wheeling m. I got out but really beat my truck doing so. I think these are a great thing to have for the money.
