I ordered it from my buddy at the dealer... was 155 from him ... I dont use him for stuff a lot cause they are now watching everyone there now...

Gotch thanks.
I might just wrap mine, my mom has a sewing machine and might get her to build me one.

The plastic one on it now is just a stupid fold on cover... it should be easy as hell to do... I shoulda looked at mine first before i ordered it

Easy way to keep your light covers from becoming a shelf throphy for some teenager.
Hey, I have a little mod for those of you that are looking to keep your lights and covers from getting taken by the teenager walking by and wanting ti have a light cover added to a collection on a shelf in their room... This in no way will stop the real theif but it will stop someone from walking by and taking your covers or if one falls off while running...
Things needed...
1. 1/8in (from the local hardware store)
2. a transfer punch, local auto might have one or ( any metal working guy should have a set)
3.1/2 in socket
4. 1/8 drill bit
5. some cable crimps
6. a small lock


What I did was removed one of each of the side bolts holding the light on.
Set it in the 1/2in socket and set the punch into the other side of the socket. This will give you the center of the bolt. Really anything that you can get the center of the bold to mark it for drilling will work...
after the holes are drilled install the bolts facing towards the center of the truck. on the right side and 2 on the left side so the cable can be run in a loop...
pull them to the center and clip them into a loop...
Slid them through the lower grill and lock to the hood latch...

So, today I started working on my design for the front hitch and the new bumper look I want. Going to be removable. I hate drilling mount holes in the frame so, it will have a tractor style clevis pin to hold it in place.







And here a few pictures of the back of the bumper brackets and the bumperetts...
















Here is the look I am going to attempt. Whit 2 flush mounted lights and the hitch...
