    Check out my build page for pics on the wall for reference. I did have to slightly aim mine down which the pics show. Also, I use my Fog Lights ALL THE TIME without any flash backs. Fogs Housings are specially designed for super wide low to ground type beams.

    Based on your picture above I think you are ok.

    You me and about a countries worth of people (ok that’s an exaggeration, but you get the idea)



    I may have a body for my other frame too. We shall see what they want for it, but radiant red double cab with a cap frame rotted in half, it’s mint looking otherwise

    Well, the lights I ordered for the ditch light brackets weren't as bright as I thought. Since I actually have them on hand I went out, and toyed around with hidden rear light pods tied into the reverse lights.

    In all these photos its just dry fitted with a pair of locking visegrips to give me, and you an idea of what it looks like. Powered by a little ole battery I have laying around for testing purposes.

    The next four photos are probably the easiest to mount. Using a bumper bolt circled in white to mount them, but that seems like low hanging fruit to me.

    The next picture is with the light dry fitted to my tow hitch support. I actually kinda like this one better. Hidden, even though I lose a little light to the inside of the truck.

    Thoughts?

    I replaced the belt molding on my '02 RCLB this afternoon, don't worry about breaking the old white plastic retaining clips - carefully remove what remains clipped to the door before installing the new ones. I noticed that the rubber coating the aluminum body appears to be thicker than the original. I will wipe them down with ATP AT-205 often, that should keep it supple.

    I've thought about doing flush mount pods, but with the ones I currently have that would be impossible with how the munts/face of these lights are.

    Just trying ideas since I have these on hand.

    Edit: I'm definitely not against doing that. (When I re-read my post it kinda sounds like I'm against it. To me anyways.)

    Mount them off of or into the steak bed pockets, use some of those fancy quick connectors you got if you ever need to load the bed or something?

    Under the plastic along the top edges of the bed. There is ahole at front and rear of the rail. Intended to put steak in the hole to build walls. Like landscapers tend to do.

    On Fantasy Island, we call them bed rail holes.

    Steaks are what you buy at the Slaughter House. Stakes are what you use to keep your Pole Beans from sagging on the ground.
