    Thought about both of those, but I like the blacked out look with the addition of orange from just lighting.

    Though about mounting three small LED's into the top lip of the grille pointing down, kind of like the Raptor...

    This is where the would be pointing down, you wouldn't be able to see the actual bulbs unless you looked up into the grill.

    Like I said a few minutes ago, I don't care for orange paint so much, just orange lighting haha

    I like the blacked out look when she's parked. Just orange shackles would look odd to me.

    The bigger the better honestly. My 3/4" shackles move around, 5/8" might move around too much...


























    On another note, I want my bed rack! Haha

    Yup, it's going to be hard not to buy a bunch of stuff to mount to it... Haha

    I've got to make myself stop spending any money so I can order an Elite so I can get some skids on this thing.

    Plus I need to buy cv's next before anything else.

    So, I need some ideas...

    I'm trying to figure out how I want to mount a switch in the bed of the truck.

    [​IMG]






    I'm thinking about just cutting a hole large enough to fit it into the side of the bed rails. But, that's a pretty big hole if I were to change it up later...

    So maybe I could just get a small piece of metal plate and bolt it in between the bed rails and bed rack wherever one of the bolts will go through for the bed rack.

    Thoughts? Ideas?

    I'm going to want my bed light switch in the cab, just so it never gets bumped on.

    Eh, it'll only be LED's so if it does get bumper on it won't kill my battery.

    But is it really that much more convenient having the switch out back?
