    I recommend making the whole, where you change the oil, bigger. My first time changing the oil with the skids resulted in oil going over the skids and out the sides all over the ground. luckily I had cardboard all around so it wasnt a big deal.

    Fumoto valve will solve that issue. I didn't have to do anything to mine.

    Never enough
    Thanks for the heads up. I've got a fumoto valve and the stream is pretty small. If it makes a mess next oil change I'll make adjustments.

    I stuck a small piece of hose to the end of my Fumoto. It is long enough to pass the skid. When done draining plug and slide on top of skid and done.

    Thanks, I was able to determine that it was just due to lot's of short trips in cold weather. I drained the oil yesterday after a long trip and, other than being dirty, it looked good...

    Well be sure to watch your coolant levels. If it creeps down you may have an issue.

    Installed the OG Fab Center Console Molle Panel. As far as my gf knows, I had to have this to store all the Nebo flashlights and cool nic nacs she gets me for Christmas. (Mostly wanted because let’s be honest.. it looks cool as hell and I can put my pistol on it). All seriousness, OG Fab did a wonderful job with the design and install was extremely easy.

    How did you wire it up? I've been considering do this with the rigid ignite lights for a sleeker look, but still in the same mounting point that you have.

    Thanks @superman2481 ,I stared @ your taillights too long.....so I installed a pair. I think they go really well with MGM color. Plus they gave me the mil discount. Oh, and there is no hyper flash—there is a large resistor mounted on back of the taillights.

    I'll do my best to illustrate and explain.

    The three position switch is mounted in the center console ina 3/4" hole. It has 4 wires connecting to it, RED is connected to the relay. BLACK is connected to the relay. BLUE is connected to the relay. White skips the relay and taps in ALL THE WAY to the taillight reverse light RED positive wire.

    The Ground for the relay has a ring terminal grounded under the front seat between the 2 front 14mm bolts. The relay red positive has a quick disconnect to fit through the firewall grommet, to the battery positive. At this point you must CUT the 2 red and 2 black wires inside the loom to fit through the grommet, BUT NOT ALL AT ONCE because you need to reconnect them with solder or butt connectors inside the vehicle so its weather proof. White wire can be pulled all the way through and does not need to be cut because it has a bare wire end that's easy to fit through.

    When you reach the end of the truck, the white wire will tap into the reverse bulbs RED wire using a T Tap. This turns your lights on when in reverse, with the 3 position switch set to AUTO.
