    Do you have any shots of how you have the 40" LED bar mounted to the bottom of your front runner cab rack?

    Inspired me to extend my rack all the way to the windshield. The guys over at frontrunner helped me put together a kit for my access cab. Cheers

    Great. Thanks for the info.
    Is your cap reinforced or just a regular cap?

    First off dude, sick truck and sick class III stuff, I creep your thread on expo portal too. Also, do you still have your bully dog tuner? If so are you happy with it? I'm considering getting one to eliminate the rev hang with my 6 spd manual but the bully dog thread on here has me hesitating.

    Really simple mounting actually. I just used the supplied Rigid Brackets and drilled two holes in the rack to secure it.

    It will absolutely support a RTT. I just like to keep my tent on a trailer so I can go explore without putting up camp every time.

    Looks so bad ass!! Frontrunner is awesome with helping out! Love the team over there.

    Thanks! I'm happy with my Bullydog and get around 1mpg better with it. I feel more "pep" but honestly I don't really ever drive fast. I'm more conservative and just want the best possible fuel economy lol

    I dropped my truck off with BullyDog for 3 days to do a custom tune for me because they don't offer a tuner for a 4.0 non-supercharged engine last I checked.

    Well if you are going to go to Alaska you may as well re-make the Top Gear North Pole adventure while you are in the neighborhood.

    I'd be down to do an Expo from Southern BC/Alberta to the Jasper area or wherever. Next summer I will have my new rack and Pelfrey gear :drool: so I need to break it in.

    This lake is screaming for a DefconBrix photo shoot with the truck and boat.

    It looks like they make one now, either way I would be looking for a custom tune. I have the six speed manual and I'm interested to see if this could fix my rev hang problem. A little extra mileage wouldn't hurt either but, my main concern is definitely the rev hang.
