    Do it! The free version is like 8 hour trial I think, I use it to draw floor plans and 3D modling for houses. Fairly straight, if you do it let me know I'll give you pointers lol I'm gonna draw up some legit CAD files and send them out so I can get all the tubing cut and bent

    Already have my sides bent, just need to pick up some tubing for the bracing. Cage looks good though. I wouldn't mind gusseting up some of it with dimple die plate too. Maybe I can find a machine shop to just cut and press a couple holes in some sheet for me once i figure out the what and wheres.

    The trailer lights used in those aluminum boxes really suck IMO. They're not bright enough to cut through dust unless you're like a foot off the back bumper, and have no spread if you're coming up on the truck at an angle. But that's just me.

    I have 2 7" led bars on the back right now, blue and red covers on them, may just get another with an amber color and run it in the middle, but just won't whole bar would be a lot cleaner, you know anyone that has a 20" that does all the lights and stuff? All that I see is 30" but I'm afraid it'll be too big, and they are $$$$ as fuck, how do you like your rigid one? Looks legit!

    I love that style of bars, wonder if I can change the lenses out, wanna run the outsides as breaks, then center would be strobe blue and Amber, my cage will be going up to the bottom on the r we wonder since I'm gonna run 18" bypasses and be hard to keep them under the bed line. A single row 30" would be sweet! Stealthy :spy:

    It's insanely bright! Too bright without the smoked covers I have now to use on the street. But I'd rather have something that's too bright instead of not bright enough. I've never seen a 20", only 30" I think I paid like 600 for my rigid used from a racer who was switching sponsors after rigid pulled their support. I know Black Knight offers something similar, and there's been an ad on Race Dezert for awhile for a guy who sells a slim version.

    that was the plan.... but as a daily/weekend warrior dealio i dont think itll happen. waiting for a call back on some new 2.5x12 triple bypasses for the rear, gonna take my 12" smoothies and put them on my rock crawler, have to do new shock towers on it anyway. so the crawler will get some bling shocks lol as much as id love to build the double cab i need to give some love to the crawler. figuring some fuel gremlins out on it right now. got those brand new creepy crawlers i got for it on it and its just sitting. so kinda have to spread the love to both rigs lol and still have money for other stuff.

    For now on the DC, 12" triple bypasses, new spare mount, non crummy chase/dust lights, bypasses in the front (Black Friday) and then in march some interior stuff and just enjoy it
