    I didn't think it was possible, but you are now the 2nd person to not realize I was being facetious when I responded to that guy by saying "Headlights are obsolete so I threw them away"

    Yeah man, I just ripped the headlights off of my brand new truck and threw them in the trash... IT WAS A JOKE.

    To those who keep asking, the LED bar is not going on the truck. I'm looking for rubber sheet metal plugs to cover the holes with and move forward with better lighting options. I've since convinced a buddy of mine to take the light bar from me for half price and let me install it on his 90's Volvo station-wagon. Now THAT I will post pics of on here once we're done. :thumbsup:

    Don't worry about those guys. They're in such a big of hurry to call everyone stupid that they can't take time to realize how stupid they are.

    Go to Mc Master and look at well nuts. Same concept as riv nuts but the mounting screw swells the rubber plug. Much more forgiving than riv nuts on hole size.

    Shit... I'm thinking my next mod will be a prinsu with a 40" led bar attached to it... I hope I don't have to open up a sequel to this thread for that...

    you are good. Double cabs are good. Access Cabs need to drill, as there was no option for a roof rack.
