I love that bumper John. Is it my old eyes or the angle of the picture, but it looks like the hole where the lower light is located was cut poorly (not squared) and all and the bolts under the hole are not flush with the bottom of the edge?

Yep cut wrong!!! It was made for the lights ADD sells and not for the Baja's I am using. And I sent them the lights so they could make the mounting just for then too!!! Go figure... I called them today to have them make me a new skid plate without ony hols and I will cut my own slot for it...

Geez, I'm surprised ADD let that ship looking like that. Looks like it was cut freehand. They still make the best looking bumpers and they know I love them, but I see they still need to work on a few issues.

Your truck looks great! See ya in a month. :chewie:

Im sorry, I should have explained myself better. The way it was shipped covered 40% of the light.. I cleared out all the crap so the light could shine through. Its not the way its staying. They are either making me a new skid plate or I will make it...

Well, finally I feel ok no, headache and can breath!!! SO, did a few things needed for snoball. Added shock adjustment condoms over the knobs and streched a 1/4 cable through the baja lights to slow down any thief's!
Ran the cable into the frame and will add a lock. The other side I sliver soldered a nut on it so it cant be pulled through. Left enough so I can cut the cable pull through if I need to remove the lights.
