Bumper is going on, brackets for the 40" Rigid RDS are in place, ADD is being great, but I'll tell you, if I hear "another two weeks" from Rigid i'm going to go out of my mind.

I want them to get the light right, I'd just like to get a timeframe so I can set my expectations. In the meantime, i'll be the SCAB driving around dallas without the lightbar...

How about those head on pics? And wind noise?

I haven't driven a truck yet with this on to see if these generate wind noise, but the straight bars definitely do. The worst of it is easily fixed with a little bit of weather stripping placed between the cooling fins.

more pics...

I haven't figured it out yet, but as far as wind noise, if you have the radio off, it's pretty noticeable, but not annoying (in my opinion), even up to 100 mph, with the radio on, you can't really hear it at all, especially if you have an upgraded stereo system or run your radio higher than 5, which was what I had mine at when I was checking it up to 100 mph

I'll document wiring and how I feed the wires when I get it done

I didn't see this question answered, I'm curious too

I helped a member install his 50" on the roof. The roof mount itself needed holes drilled in the roof to mount it, and also had a slot to run the wire through a hole in the roof. Since we had to drill 4 holes to mount it a fifth hole wasn't an issue but I'm not liking the idea of drilling a hole in my own roof.

I have some other ideas but they won't look as clean. Run the wire down and around the front pillar and go under the interior pillar trim to behind the glove-box. The problem with this is the wire will be visible crossing over the pillar and might screw up the weatherstipping slightly when the door is closed.
The other is run the wire straight down in between the pillar and windshield to the engine compartment with some 3M double sided tape.
