    Nice truck! Did you remove the grill to plasti-dip it or did you just tape around it and spray the chrome bezel?

    I know there's a lot of talk going on about these racks but I just wanna say my experience with @zscott wasn't the best but he was still a great guy to work with in the end. I use my rack for kayaks or lumber ever weekend and I don't regret going with him ( or the hassle ) for a second. It was worth every Penny and I would do it againIMG_1487.jpg IMG_1489.jpg IMG_1491.jpg IMG_1493.jpg

    How was mounting the torch leds to the rack? Any issues with sourcing brackets? I'm patiently waiting for my rack to come in and I'm trying to get everything ready for hardware.

    The brackets that came with the bar work fine for me ( didn't need to go out and get any extra parts ) but it's on a swivel so I can punch it down when driving to eliminate whistle. But later on might upgrade. Let me know if you want a picture.

    Did you get the sliders powder coated here in Reno? Nosy question, please don't answer if you don't want to, but how much was the powder coat? I just bought sliders from Relentless today.

    It's all good!
    I got them done at marq powder coating in Sparks. Good work and a good price. Can't really give a number because I got my roof rack and sliders done at the same time. But I remember it being same if not lower then everyone else.

    Very nice build, your suspension setup is what I am looking at purchasing. Now that it’s been on for a little while what is your impression? Any bugs that you had to work out? Regrets etc?

    how high is your front lift now that its settle? I'm running 888 with 5100 and hate the ride so I'm changing it to 90021 soon, but don't want to lose any lift...

    Do you have a better link to those pouches. Pretty much exactly what I'm looking for. Thanks
