    Yeah...I figured there was some miscommunication there. I told him I ordered a pair of A series lights for the turn signals but wanted square cutouts for the D2s I have. We talked about how it's a little different with the square cutouts but still doable. Oh well. Not much I can do now. And I don't have a plasma cutter to cut holes, nor would I want to hack up such an awesome bumper.

    He included two LED turn signals in the box, not hardware. I may wire them into my marker lights and still use the A series as turn signals. Factory bolts should work fine for mounting too I think.

    Well I broke my rear swing out bumper this weekend. Driving down Petersville road my spare tire fell off. Looks like the welds on the round upper pipe broke loose then the reinforced bracket bent and broke off.:confused:

    Luckily no one was behind me when it happened.

    So that was you I saw haha! I wasn't sure what your name was but I knew I'd seen your truck here before.

    Anyway, that's awful to hear man. Wtf. Glad to hear nobody was hurt from it.

    Just got back from welding it on. Hopefully my welds hold up.

    I'm horrible at taking pics....the only time I get pics is when my lady takes them.

    Yeah, it's days like that I really wish the first gens had a cabin air filter...

    Your RTT made me all sorts of jealous. I want to go farther down that road than I did. I took a right after the bridge and stopped at the creek. Didnt have time to cross to explore the other side but I hear it's pretty awesome out there. It'd be a fun drive for a TW meet/camp sometime.

    Yeah very briefly. Only fished an hour I'd say. Had a bit too much to drink the night before so waking up was not the easiest haha. Only caught one rainbow and hooked a few more. My buddy landed a chrome king about 20" too. We ended up driving to petersville instead since we've been wanting to do that for a few years now.
