    Lololol it just makes me laugh, sounds like an awesome healthy typical father son relationship. And I mean that, I'm glad you at least keep up with your pops, well it sounds like. Not trying to make assumptions or get into someone else's life. Dammit, I just mean it sounds normal :D

    To be honest, you can't really see them in the daytime. I set them deep in the well to let the front shroud chop off the top of the beam. I can use them on the street and not blind anyone, but they light the ground in front of the truck really well.
    The brackets were made with 1/8" mild steel and bolted to the skidplate. Painted with Rustoleum Oil base.

    Here is what I’m looking at doing and seems pretty easy. I’m gonna put LED pods in the bumper where the turn signal lights are.

    I have the DEPO ones and can confirm that the up close pattern is not noticeable. however when you are on the road it is not an even coverage like OEM housings so the pattern is "spotty" in places.

    I'm actually buying a retrofit kit today for the special as @1997tacomav6 mentioned, just deciding if I want Halos or not and trying to find white/white demon eyes and halos. I'm getting the D2S kit as it fits in the 01+ housings easy
