Truck looks freakin awesome man!

Can't wait to hear how she rides after the rear Fox's are installed.
Thanks Chris. I absolutely love the Snugtop XTR as it really lends a sporty look to the truck and very functional.

So far, the truck rides great so looking forward to the Fox rears too!

Your trucks are like Bo Derek. She's the only white woman that can pull off dreadlocks; Your trucks are the only ones that call pull off a camper top! Both are sexy as all hell!

(seriously though)

I'd say you know what you're doing and you've got it going on when your build thread explodes into 9 pages in just over a month

No problem! I was proud of that one. I would put that as a sig quote if it wasn't me that wrote it!

I am not much of an electrician myself but can usually figure out stuff (haven't blown up anything...yet).

I still need to see if/how I am going to install my 5-inch PIAAs. I am thinking about installing them under the 6 inchers (instead of all 4 across light my previous light bar setup) but I have to fabricate a drop extension so that I bolt them under the top plate.

It's amazing how much the front look has changed with that new bumper. Those two lights look lonely now, but 4 looked perfect with the stock bumper. Also, it's tough to tell, but do those LEDs throw off much light through the grill?

Overall, I love that look and stance.

I think once I get my hands on a proper plug n play kit, I'll be fine. Just need to get one that will work with 4 of them all hooked up together.

Are there no holes to run then 4 across? I think that would look better, but I also don't know if I'm picturing the drop bracket properly. Would the 5"ers be hanging in front of those 4 cut-out looking squares directly below the 6" lights?

swiseuf; yes, the Rigids are really bright and light up the curb/street at night but don't really see much in the daytime at the angle I took the pics at. I really like them.

I agree in that the 4 lights look better. In order to make all 4 light fit across, I would have to drill 2 more holes through the powder coated top plate and I was trying not to do that.

So this what I came up with (quick pics):

From the side:


What do you think about this arrangement???

My Duratracs are 285/60R20s (33.5 inches tall and 11.5 inches wide on my rims).

What size Toyo ATs did you get? I am still seriously considering them since I saw a brand new set of 35s on a Raptor and was surprised how better they look in person once mounted. Can you shoot me some pics?

Gotta give the thumbs up on that! And I figured you came up with what you did because you'd have to drill more holes

Looks awesome Dawg. I vote for a 20" in the bumper and get rid of the halogens. You'll be amazed at the output.

I really wish I could spring for that suspension set up right now! The stance is killer. You really have me considering losing the step bars.

Can you snap a picture of your CV angles? Also, what do you measure to the center of the fender?

On another note, I vote for 295/60R20 Nitto Trails for the next tire.
