    Stock with a camper shell for now.
    Alright thanks again for all the great advice I am thinking about ordering one in the next couple days so this helps a lot . Did any of you have any issues mounting it in that area? Also I am looking for a forum that I have searched for and can't find in regards to adding stuff into your bed I am thinking about adding two pods and anchoring them the bed rail and so I was searching for that post and can't seem to find it .

    Cheap Knock-offs (24" and two 7" i believe), with homemade mount (1" bar and some all-threads,$20). The bumper had spots for the ones next to the winch. If you get the cheap ones, open them up and then seal with black RTV. Learned that lesson the hard way, good ever since.

    What do you mean by open them up and seal them ? Seal them where exactly ?


    Great looking truck I knew that looked familiar in your pics that's ridgecrest use to pretty much live there and I have rode through that tunnel. Not sure where that snow pic is but it looks familiar as well .

    Mine's a cheap one off Amazon. No problems with it at all. Cost about $5 to mount it too. I'll give more details tomorrow if you're interested.

    I used a 3' piece of angle iron (the kind with a bunch of holes) from home depot and screwed it into the crash beam with a single self tapping screw on each side. Super rigid. The blue in the diagram is just a strip of metal to elongate the angle iron.

    Glad I could help! All you need to do is remove the grill and that's plenty of room. For trimming out the lower valence, I used a combo of tin snips and a hacksaw blade. Good luck!
