    See the pics that @eccracer104 posted of my truck. I angled them down to hit the sedans cuz they're the ones that always tailgate me. When I get off road I'll just angle them up and put on amber covers as chase lights

    That's my primary purpose too. I have the ditch lights up front for when people cut me off.

    What light did you use here? What mount? What is it mounted to? It looks like it is mounted to the underside of your topper glass, is that right?

    Thanks!

    This looks good, but I'll have a Leer topper so this solution won't work for me.

    I'm meeting up with @Shmellmopwho to have him fab up the CB/HAM mounts that stick out of the tailgate. You can then mount pod lights to those instead of antennas. I'm sure he will be saving the design for future buyers. I'll be sure to post pictures when we're done

    It'll be just like what he has above. Ryan currently doesn't have a design for the 3rd gens to be bought, but he should soon!

    I like your jam mounts, but I don't think those work in 3rd Gens. I saw a member here made some antenna mounts that go in the same spot, but found that the tolerances were too tight on some trucks to work. I won't have the bumper you have here, so that won't work.

    As I said above, Ryan will be using my truck as a template, hopefully this Friday, to make a design for our third gens

    This is what I am talking about. If someone can get it to work I'm 100% onboard. I was just under the impression it was a no-go
