    You got more pics of that rear light mount? I am looking to do something similar and @Coot83 mentioned you were pretty good at fabricating stuff? I see now he was right but looking to put my light on rear passenger side and I have a leer shell.

    Perfect man nice work. Do you have a pic of that light at night off the mount? Looking to use as a reverse/ camp light for doing stuff near rear of vehicle. How has it been for you?

    It works great for me so far. I created this to illuminate my utillity trailer for loading and unloading the 4wlr in the dark. The bumper lights were negated in this by aiming at the ground and also the tool box on the trailer and the floor of the trailer. These lights shine rt over into it and also help to see packing up hunting gear and stowing deer. Rt now they look a little odd and kinda just hanging out there, however when I can get a best top they'll be protected and it'll all come together.

    I'm super late to this party.... So first, congratulations! Also, I'm 99% sure that's one of my friend's old truck (if it came with those chrome Daylighters).

    I bought
    it at Sheehy in F'burg. It was a local trade in so could very well be. There's very little service history on it so would love to find out. I'm trying to catch up to a 60k service a little early. It would be interesting to know if it was he could give me a little history on it

    Were those chrome Daylighters on it when you bought it?

    This is the best picture I could find of his front end.

    I went over to Fredericksburg today to the dealer to pick up my extra key, owner's manual, and a "free" tank of gas. There she sat I felt a little sad and ashamed but I had to do what needed to be done.




    They removed the rear bumper and put a new one on so the lights are gone when I asked why they said it wouldn't pass inspection which was BS they're probably on one of the tech's vehicles oh well

    I finally found the clips I needed for installing the bug guard on this one so when I got home I put it on. I kinda liked the look better with out it but it serves a purpose. Now I need to order the vent visors.




    I'm not ordering anything though until I get the OME strutts and coils for the front and the stuff, yet to be determined, for the rear. I know I'm getting Bilstein shocks for the rear but waiting to see how much I can save up to decide between a 3 leaf aal or a set of Dakars.
