    What would be the best way to cut out a circle in fiberglass?

    Tape over the location, draw out the circle, and use a hole saw maybe?

    Totally. The floor leds are color changing. Teal now, goes with the interior color better. The bed lights were some "off road" lights.

    Eh, see my Build Thread sig link. Too many mods to list.
    Yep...as long as the LED is on a switch so it's not always on then it wouldn't be a problem.

    i have thought about selling my taco today... then decide i have to think of it my abusive lover and ill keep coming back to her cuz shes sexy. got my already custom fender even more custom. any advice would be amazing in figuring out why this has happened 2 times in the past 4 months!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    4 bolts holding my lower ball point to my wheel assembly have all sheered off TWICE now, which ends up ripping the shit out of my cv axle and crushing my fender. both times it has happened on the same side

    Are they OEM ball joints and did you loctite the bolts in? Most of what I have read here is they loosen up, one falls out, the rest shear.

    Need to use lockrite. 45ft/lb per bolt.

    Usually takes two to fall out then shears two. I still only have three in my driver side on Frankenstein from when my sheared. Haven't had time to fix it

    I like your tube bumper with the LED bar. I'm looking for one...just can't seem to find any. Literally none that I like. Yours custom?
