Swapped out my cubes for some KC RZR LED lights. Great output, and they look sweet, and they illuminate dark off road areas beautifully

I put in a Smittybilt clinometer on the overhead console where the compass used to be, but the only problem was it had Jeeps on it, and the angle was slightly off so it would always say that I was at a slight incline. So I had some stickers made, and went from this
To this:

And here's a more detailed look at the stickers since those are night shots and don't look so good:

Finally got my Northwest Trail Innovations bumper together. It's just got a coat of flat black paint on it for now, it still needs to be finish welded and grinded (Its held together by a shit ton of tacks right now). Once I do that, it will be bedlined instead of painted

After almost 6 months, I finally ground down the welds and bedlined the bumper
Also, decided to start a little patch collection on the roof of the truck

Made a switch panel out of scrap 10 ga. steel that was lying around at the shop. Cleaned it up, cut it to size, milled it out, and stuck the pull out tabs and switch panel on there. Once I get a light bar, compressor, and A-pillar lights (which is in the mail), all the switches will go here

I'm gonna pass on the fender flare that you were selling. Thanks though. But....would you consider making another one of thsee switch plates?

Unfortunately I don't have access to the shop I did it at anymore as it's closed right now. If it opens back up I'll let you know though!

Haven't updated in a while, and I ended up doing a lot to my truck since the last time I posted (oops). So here goes:
First, I got rid of the Spyder headlights and opted for some BHLM stock lights. I think they give the truck a much cleaner look.
Then I FINALLY installed my snorkel that I received back in December. I think I was just afraid to cut up my fender
Then, ripped the fenders off the truck (I'll be putting washers and bolts to cover up the holes eventually).
Also, I've been expanding my patch collection, and there's only gonna be more to come
Finally, I got this rear plate bumper off a trade off of Craigslist, traded for my stock bumper and 150 bucks. Not too bad, and its in decent shape, save for some rust on the inside. It looks like an Allpro, but there's no branding on it so I can't be too sure.
