    X2 that garage is awesome! I wish I had a place like that to work on my truck. The garage I work in is very cramped and my truck is too long to close the doors :(

    Have you ever thought about chopping your exhaust?

    Thanks guys! Its mt very good friends place. Its huge. He is a car nut so he has a huge shop haha along with Damn near every tool. That's only the back half..

    And I did have the exhaust chopped till I got a new muffler. I really like it as is but I think it will conflict with the new rear bumper so it'll prolly get chopped again

    I really like what you have done to your truck, do you think those LightForces provide plenty of light for offroad use? are they HID converted? I noticed you put that you would like to put the hellas on the roof rack--are these going to be angled out?

    Sorry for all the questions, and can't wait to see the roof rack! :D good luck with school too ;)

    the LF240s are AMAZING lights! However they a more of a spot light and do a damn good job at it! VERY long range. And they are just Halogens. I thought about HIDing them..but i like how they just turn on instantly when i need them and are super bright as it is. Plus it would be a bit tricky to put HIDs in them. The Hellas i have are much more of a flood light so they will help fill the gaps a bit and yes, they will be angled outward to cast a wide spread. They are HIDed and are also, very very bright.

    And thanks for the questions! happy to answer anything ya want.

    i am STOKED for the roof rack :goingcrazy: Go the bed rack basically done today and will start on the roof part in the next couple days.

    Pics are coming :spy:
