    Yeah, that's a good question. I don't think I've seen one here mang. But you're right, I need the 110 before we go camping! Maybe the 145 so I'll also need a damn forklift to load it up! Lol

    I did notice a slight difference from before (-1-2mpg) but I’m not sure if it’s the Prinsu or the case or the combination of the two. I installed the case the same day as the Prinsu and I haven’t taken the case down since.

    Cool, yeah it's probably mostly the Prinsu. I lost about 1-1.5 mpg after I installed mine... I mean after @JerryTaco installed mine... :thumbsup:

    Damnit, now I have to add a rifle case to the list!

    I really like having the rifle case, really helps with the OCD. I can keep all the small stuff organized during camping trips. I even fit 6 fishing poles in there that a coworker let me borrow for a Big Bear trip next month. Keeps things out of the cabin and frees up a little space when the bed is full of camping gear.

    Haha, yeah no towels!! I was actually going to do my own but I didn't have time and I had a tough time convincing myself to bake my brand new headlights. I really don't think it would be too hard. Here's something that a member sent to me and it kinda makes sense on how to separate them.

    "put the oven at 250, once their, turn it off. Then put the headlight on a piece of cardboard and let it sit in there for 8-10 minutes. It won’t melt or hurt anything. I’ve done it many times with headlights on multiple vehicles. Just make sure your led strip wire harness isn’t touching anything metal."

    I might buy a jacked up light just to test it out. I painted custom cars for 15 years so painting for me is no problem. It's just getting them opened up that I'm not sure of.

    I did it on my 2nd gen a few times but did't wanna mess with the perma-seal on these new headlights. But what Sean said is pretty accurate and what I did on both my 2005 and 2012. Take your time and allow the paint time to cure before re-assembling the lights. If you rush that process, the paint could off gas leaving a hazy film on the inside of your lenses which will not make you a happy camper.

    Other than that, maybe a beer or two.

    No issues at all, it’s pretty straight forward. Take it easy on the plastic tabs, I’ve heard of many people breaking them or receiving the pro grille with tabs already broken.
