I can't wait to see this Wrap...:party36:



Good point on the rear facing amber. WSI sells these little Whelan vertex jobies that are nice and bright. We have one on a WSI whip mount that we plug into the hitch pin and it flashes. We also have two on our lightbar rack that are wired to an Aux. And while we are on the topic of WSI, we highly recommend the Whelan Micro-pioneers mounted below the grill. Our two mounted either side of our winch are brighter than the light bars under the grill.

I thought I was good at spending money! My list is getting very long. While everyone is spending MY money....soon to be lack there of. :) Tires?? I have had a million sets of BFG ATKO's and know how poor they can be in the mud, is an upgrade necessary. I am sure plenty of people will be running them but am I going to regret it?

Yea a fog light kit is good it's some sort of light source for a night run if you wanna do it you might also wanna think about a rear facing light as well maybe an amber so it can be seen through dust. The spare is fine under the truck for something like this you don't need to relocate it but if you wanna spend money then you're options are endless

You need to have a spare located in the bed for this event.

in regards to mounting the tire in the back, the stock system sucks for holding the tire under the bed, it will slowly come down and swing about offroad...i had this happen to me @ TRR...even from a safety prospective, rather have it in the bed
