    Been through a few trucks but this one has been the cherry on top! Fords, Chevys and even a lil Tacoma too!

    Our terrain, weather and out of towners can be hazardous but this truck can handle it all. I’m very excited to get this thing out on the trails, drag some dirt bikes and fishing gear around this summer. For now we will just be wheeling around in the snow for a few more months!

    Cheers

    Great looking truck. Enjoy!

    I wish the RC bumper offered an option without their proprietary lights. But it looks like my SS3's wouldn't fit anyway. Along the same lines, it would be great if their website showed a straight profile (side) view of the bumper on the truck to see how much clearance from the tire there is vs stock. But it appears they really want you to know that their bumper has LEDs in it. :facepalm:

    @PermaFrostTRD I'm with you on the RC's website not showing what it looks like with a profile view. I'm not a huge fan of their cube LEDs and will most likely upgrade to something from Baja Design, I put a set of their Amber sports into my wrx and loved how they looked and the amount of light they could throw.

    I was torn between Baja designs and diode dynamics for amber/yellow fogs. There are a couple of comparison posts on here from a few members (not just vendors) that are really solid. I liked the sharper cutoff of the DD, but some members who mob in the desert say that because both fogs bounce a little in the tundra, they preferred the less crisp cutoff of the Baja designs because the bounce was less noticeable. I ultimately chose the DD SS3 pro's in amber/yellow as I preferred the cutoff. My fog's are essentially emergency lights that come on when I can't see past the hood of the truck in a white out snowstorm. The amber/yellow throws a nice ground cover light that really highlights any contrast (previous tire tracks, previous plow lanes, a ditch, a mailbox, soft shoulder, etc.) and I'm running at 10mph or less because of the conditions so the bounce is negligible. I think I'd probably have been happy with either set up (given what I use them for). they put out a ton of light and enhance your vision even when conditions are just dark without other "weather"

    I have that bumper if you need some pics. What are the size dimensions of the SS3's?

    They’re 4” cubes. Similar in size to OEM fogs
