    It was very simple, the only thing I needed to do was cut the thin tow loop on the drivers side. After that the bumper fit like a glove.

    Click on the box in my sig that has the picture of the orange weld, it'll take you to Billy's website.

    As for the headlights I dont have an actual write up but you just follow the basic BHLM steps then add the amber LEDs.

    Here is one of the only pics I took during this mod. All I can say is to drill a hole on the sidewall of the bezel so that the power wire goes through. Then drill another hole on the main housing and run the wires through that too, then seal it so no dust or water get in. I then spliced into my corner lights.

    I hate how your truck is soo badass :p

    I think a snorkel would be something to consider,
    -better airflow
    -a major componet in high water crossings
    -it looks badass

    Cons
    -Drilling holes and making a huge one :(
