    I don't think so. I just checked out the TG website and it does look pretty clean but I don't know what I want for extra lights yet. I think I'd like to add some driving lights at some point but I need to do some more research and see what I like.

    Crappy night pic but I threw it on by myself after I got home from work tonight. Didn't measure anything but it seems to sit square and flush.

    Hoping to take it off on Monday and get it painted. I will probably try to get some more day pics but I am pretty happy with it. Of course now it needs a winch....and matching rear bumper...
    I will probably zip tie my license plate until I find a better mounting solution. I'm not too worried about it but curious to see how others mount their license plates. I've seen a few without plates.

    Affix a license plate on a tube bumper without zip ties? That's like fixing a hole in a seat without duct tape - only worse than that. :thumbsup:

    Yeah I put a 193 or 197 socket with pigtail in the corner lights. It had the same effect as LED as they draw less current and they were hyper flashing. It was really annoying. After trying two different load resisters that did not fix the problem I ended up drilling out the pin on the flasher relay that controls the bulb malfunction circuit. I got that all straitened out now and I am super happy with it. The factory wiring is plenty long enough after I cleaned up around where the factory windshield wiper reservoir used to sit. I'm not sure if I have any pics on my phone or not.

    I'd like to see a pic of that pin you're talking about. Going to install some led strips for a temp. set of flashers for $20

    I even bought another relay that was supposed to work with leds and it did not fix it either. I was a little hesitant to drill the hole out but I had a spare flasher so I figured I didn't have anything to lose. You could get a soldering iron and a solder sucker but I just punched the pin out with my cordless drill. The relay is kinda buried by the driver side kick panel.

    I think it was just kind of a bad angle looking down at it. Just took a picture more strait on. IMG_0472.jpg

    It's the angle, It might be the white apron against the black bumper throwing it off at that angle.

    Looks 10x better painted! Thanks again for the mounting plate @roosterburm
