    Awesome that is good to know. I thought it would be silly to get pulled over for that if you could still see the brake light through it.

    I definitely want to black mine out because I have the black brush guard and running boards. Would make a nice match.

    AH! I see the rack. With your Anytime FOG mod, can you still leave the lights on and then shut off the ignition, then open a door and everything shuts off?

    Ya see nothing special but it will work for my purpose.
    Yes my fogs will turn off when I shut the truck off then open the door. Then come back on when I turn the truck on.

    Nice. I keep mine all the time too. Just the HIGH beam issue. Haven't done it yet. Might not do it at all now that I have light cannon on the front of the truck.

    Ya it's def nice to have the fogs on with high beams on too, plus the light bar. Might have to get on for the front of my rack like you.

    Finally got around to mounting my roof rack. Came out good. Next is to make mounts for my fuel cans, get shovel and axe mounts and finally some led bars for the left, right and rear


    It's nice to be able to use the over head crane in the hangar. Made life a lot easier.

    Got my alternative to a high lift jack today from a company called safe jack. It's a 6ton jack and it fits in the factory location. Comes with the extensions so you arent over extending and the flat plate and frame /tubing adapter too

    Sorry guys haven't check the build in a bit. I just used the left over high performance wheel and tire paint I had from when I did my wheels :D. But I'm sure if you derp'd it that you would have it look just as good. I you use any kind of gloss spray paint you should be fine
    Thanks man. I didn't rub during normal driving only at full lock when wheeling it would touch some.if you don't touch very much you could just grind down the lip on the cab mount and get away with not doing the cab mount chop

    Just completed my weekend project. So now I can carry an extra 16 gallons of fuel and never need to take the cans down to refuel my actual tank. Just take the top off the jug and put the fuel pick up tube in give a couple pumps of the nozzle and fuel starts flowing good

    New switch in. I like how it is a dimer light output compared to the other one I had in there. This one will be way less distracting. The other 3 I have for the roof lights will be just this color too.
