    Got my N-Fab Light Bar and IPF 968CSG lights installed. Not sure how I feel about the lights. I originally had the IPF 900DDCS lights at first but I thought they were too big plus I would have had to dump another $150 into them to make them how I wanted them (powdercoat the chrome & black grilles). Now I am also thinking about only mounting 3 lights on the N-Fab bar. :eek:

    Take a look at the pics and tell me what you think...Thanks.

    I also did another cheap mod...

    Not sure about you but whenever I put a water bottle or similar bottle in the front cupholders the arm that swings out and is supposed to hold the bottle in place moves very easily and really doesn't do it the job way it is supposed to.

    I added 2 layers of shrink tubing on each arm and it actually holds it in place like it should. The arms can still close normally but not as easy.

    *In the pics you can also see some foam I added to the ends of the cupholder, this took away some of the interior rattles I had.

    In my opinion the look pretty good, i dont know how it would look with 3 lights and can you put three lights on the nfab or would you have to do work on the light bar?

    thats a cool mod, i for some reason dont have that problem but i would totally do it if i did. funny how you are always thinking of extra stuff to do to your truck. I have the lock on the center console and the hardwire gps and the foglight mod which i saw in your truck thanks for the ideas

    They aren't center caps...They should already be on your hubs. I just painted mine black.

    Front: This is the dust cap. It's part of your disc break/hub assembly.

    Rear: This is part of your drum.

    Update:

    I got the IPF lights powder coated with a black wrinkle coat finish. I am going to convert the N-Fab to hold 3 lights.
