    I Purchased a set of 6" Rigid e series lights from S4RSSS (thank you!) and had installed today.

    I really want to thank Louis and Justin for fitting me in last minute and making the install a success!

    Louis is the man to call if you need help with any upgrades on your truck!
    Lifts, wheels/tires, lighting, remote starters, or anything performance related. Very attentive to the details and is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to performance and upgrades.
    (203) 512-4088

    Justin is THE best tint installer I have met and highly recommend him. I have used many installers and he is by far the best. Great guy to know and has lots of good contacts in the auto world.

    Both of these guys have shops in the Danbury, CT area, so if you are near the area, I highly recommend these guys. Tell them you heard about them from TW.

    I choose to install my light in stock grill for now until I upgrade. Came out very nice! I will be adding a support below mounting point for addition strength. I couldn't wait so this is how it looks so far.

    The lights are great! Very bright! Spot version, so the light path is very tight.

    Thanks! We mounted brackets to base of grill. drilled 4 pilot holes for brackets and used 4 bolts with nuts to secure. Don't crank down too hard as plastic may crack. I also suggest adding an aluminum bar underneath plastic to help keep lights secured to plastic grill.

    Holes in the grill were cut using a sawzall and a handheld mini hackzall for precision cutting. We used a black sharpie to trace out placement of light as needed. Took about 2.5 hours total from start to finish.

    Here is the only other pic I have of mounting in progress. upara6e5_8ca42b06d8cffa4c34ed98ba4606c8c1d827a7c1.jpgenateta2_33e8bbe5aab33dfd23e93986cbdb97cf53572dd4.jpg

    Thanks! I'm glad they came so fast.

    Now I have to do a 3" lift and 33" trail grapplers and some black and silver wheels.

    Thanx Man. Clean install might steal the idea.

    sweet location! I like the idea of keeping the stock grille (yes, I like it) and not having to go aftermarket mesh. I may have an idea with this! Good work :thumbsup:

    I know this thread is nearly 2 years old but I wanted to see how they did for you. I'm looking at just about the exact same setup but lower bumper. Any feedback?
