    I installed a 37" LED light bar in the hood bulge. I was able to mount the LED bar into the stock housing. IMG_5050.jpg

    I just ordered a 37" slim version LED off of Amazon. Nothing expense and it's plenty bright! I will very rarely use it anyways. IMG_5066.jpg

    I finally got rid of the last silver on my Platinum badges today. I just masked them off and plasti dipped them. Here are some other photos of the truck after I added the bulge light bar and waxed it today.

    Here are some pics of the upper hood buldge LED light I installed by NSV. This light is specifically made for the 3rd gen Tundra. All the wires are plug and play with water resistant connectors. There are only two t taps that have to be used for two wires in the steering wheel column. The total install time was about two hours taking my time. The light is made so you remove the stock plastic housing in the hood bulge and replace it with the NSV light. The light bar has day time running lights on each end of the light bar. The middle of the light is the spot light. This light has four main functions for it. Daytime running lights, swipe ( like the night rider car had), strobe (very bright!) and the spot light. The spot light can only be ingaged when your truck high beams are on. This is if you follow the t tap diagram they give you. You could make it constant hit wire connection if you wanted to.

    I had my truck at 4wheel parts for their march madness sale. They cut my frame mounts to eliminate any rubbing when I crank the tires while backing up. It turned out great and now I have no more rubbing! Plus I ended up buying a set of 4.56 gears for the Jeep since they had $600 off of the install!

    That light bar is pretty awesome, but I'm kinda digging the fact you have auto parts spread all over your kitchen counter. Your truck gets a new mod every time we turn around. Keep up the great work !!!!

    I got some new parts in from Rago Fabrication this week. I order their light bar mount for my rear 50" light bar, the front bumper mount for a future light bar and a flag pole mount on the bed rails.IMG_6032.jpg IMG_6031.jpg IMG_6030.jpg

    I had the Fuel Forged wheels built. I selected the pattern & color of my powder coat finish. Your options are endless and up to what you want.

    I installed a 50" Rigid Radiance behind the rear window. I recently changed the bracket and now have a Rago Fabrication bracket for the light bar.

    I picked up my 30" Rigid Radiance blue backlit led lightbar today. I'm going to either install it behind my stock bumper or go with an aftermarket bumper. I haven't fully decided yet. I also ordered the Rago Fabrication front bumper bracket for the 30" light bar.

    No. This light bar is for my my bumper. A roof mounted light bar has to be a 50"-52" bar. IMG_5961.jpg

    I finally got around to installing my 30" blue Rigid Radiance bar in my bumper today. I used Rago Fabrication number bracket. People typically mount a single row light but I did some modifications to make it fit. I like the look a lot! IMG_6701.jpgIMG_6703.jpg

    I got my recon LED smoked tail lights in today. They look great! The halos around the upper and lower leds are the running lights. The upper led is the turn signal and the bottom LED is the brake lights. I'll post install pics tomorrow. IMG_6766.jpg
