    That made me laugh but....
    Speaking of chest pain. My older sister (48yrs) had a heart attack yesterday at work.
    Non-drinker, occasional smoker, otherwise healthy.
    She's going to be fine.
    She's a nurse at an Aspirus hospital. If it's going to happen, that's the place to be.

    Told my wife she might want to increase my life ins. policy.

    Really starts putting things into perspective.

    Trying to find a circuit up front for the parking lights on my 2015. Not DRLS, but the next click on the stalk that gets tail lights no head lights. Easy peasy out back but what to do in the front?? Anyone know this??

    My raptor lights were wired into that 'next click'.
    I have DRL though and piggy backed off the lead going right into that using the quick splice connector.
    I thought they would come on with 1st click that way but sure enough they came on with the 2nd.

    Obligatory new tire pics. Six, 255/80 17 Wildpeak at4's. I'm not really thrilled with the look, but function over fashion.

    I don't like the look, either.

    So all the fabrication is done on the bumper. On to the skid plate-which will essentially be making it anew. I had some help making lighting harnesses:

    IMG_0094.jpg

    Fun stuff getting those in and connected to the right circuits etc. Here is a look at the bumper in the outdoors plus all the lights and lighting combinations. The Spots and fogs are independent but I got lazy and show them together. Not sure the spots are going to be enough for me... Oh well, only so many places to put lights!

    If you made some brackets, it should fit behind your grille. Looks like it would be high enough to not interfere with your winch.

    I have tried. The center bracket is in the way, horns are in the way etc, etc. Plus no easy place to mount brackets up there. It can be done, but I am not sure I care enough (yet...)

    Probably won't. I don't want to deal with the rattles, license plate relocate or plate light rewiring. It works fine on the roof. (As long as I have help getting it off of the roof.)

    Fresh drive from the carwash to home for the poser pics.

    285's look sooo much better. By every other matric, skinnies have better traction.
    Thank you, Dan. It looks O.K., but with 285's .....
