    I have an X... You’ve seen my pics, I’m good at a few things, not photography. It’s my neighbor, will help us both out, and hopefully will still be pristine by then. Won’t be long before it is not:tumbleweed:, desert is harsh on vehicles.

    Naw park lights. They aren’t bright enough for the day. If you want to know where to tap it for drl, you can just tap it off the oem drl behind the headlight.

    Hey.. thanks for the pics on your install.. loved the look so did it as well... I also used a waterproof connector so when I take the grill off, I could just unplug it and not worry about wires...

    next up the anytime fog mod...

    Yes I forgot to update my thread. When I removed my grill I also used a connector on it for easy service. I believe it was a 9006 connector.

    I think I got them from theretrofitsource.com
    Doing raptor lights!?

    It’s ok. Looks good but it’s not 100% weather proof. Some water gets in, not a lot but for how much they sell them for I’d expect it to not leak. I like it but I think it’s worth more like $600 instead of $1000.

    also have the backflip MX4 and i love it. the trick fold is very easy to work with and the install is very easy. love the flush look and it locks/secures my things conveniently.

    I too have the MX4 and love it. I don't have to worry about water too much since I live in CA and there is not a ton of rain year round even though we are heading into our wet season. Anyways, it looks great, very easy to set up and actually easy to take off too. I helped a buddy move and we needed the extra 3"-4" to be able to put the tailgate up so I just unscrewed it and kept the hardware in a bag and put it on the next morning, took 5 minutes. Great look and security.

    What’s the best price anyone has gotten on the Bakflip MX4, I’m gonna go for it!

    Thanks

    I paid $939. I saw a little while back that there was someone who had a connection and could get them for a little less. I peruse through TW and T4R to broaden my wealth of knowledge...so I am not sure exactly when and where I saw that. But I would just call up a couple different shops that sell it and ask for a 10% off and ensure free shipping is included.

    You're going to love it.
