Sidetracked Offroad LED

I should be getting my pods in the mail from SideTracked tomorrow! After I get them on I'll post some pics.

I think Morgan, who btw has been a huge help, has me talked into the 20" radius bar for the lower grill. That's coming up next. As a matter of fact, it's already on my Christmas list.

I just installed my lights from them last week. Great quality and very fast shipping. 2 T6's on the hood, a 20in. and 2 amber pods in the bumper. Well worth it.

Got the fog lights in the mail and installed them yesterday. They look to be pretty high quality and they look great on the truck. Took about an hour to finish once I got them out of the boxes and laid out. Already had the switch wires made up under the dash. Had a little trouble with the Rigid brackets. The drivers side was off a little or my bumper was. It doesn't sit squarely in the opening like the passengers side. Much thanks to Morgan from SideTracked. He returned my emails almost as soon as I sent them. Great company so far! Pics are below.

If you think it is the bracket, let me know, I'll get you a new one sent out. I have had a set of bad brackets before.

Edit: do you have a trap door in your floor there?

I'm not 100% positive that it's the bracket but I'd think it's more likely that than the bumper or the frame. Or at least I hope so after what I paid for the truck brand new! Probably the only way I could know for sure would be to install another one. If you're willing to send another one out I'll give it a try!

On a side note, what other company would offer to send a replacement part without being asked?!?! You don't see that kind of customer service very often these days. Thanks SideTracked!

As for the trap door, that leads to where I put people that come over and ask me if I've seen Chevy's new Reaper!! Lol

I received my Sidetracked shipment yesterday. Morgan sent it 2 day priority mail and it was packaged nicely. I am impressed with the quality of construction of the pods as well. I ordered the fog light kit and T6 flush mount pods for the rear.
The lights are bright... I tested one of the pods on arrival and was impressed with the 6 pod flush mounts.
Now to the bracket. Let me preface... I have had the Rigid fog light kit on my last Raptor. The bracket just touched the bumper when installed and both the led and the bracket rubbed the bumper. I actually have the bumper from my previous truck on my current/new truck (long story for another time) so I can see exactly where the old Rigid mounts and lights rubbed. Back to the Sidetracked kit... It is the same mounts and the passenger side went on assembled with the lights in almost the same exact spot. But for the life of me I could not get the driver side to fit within the opening and line up correctly. After dickering with it until my arms were tired and my back sore, I gave up. I will finish on Sunday. I will take pics this weekend of the issue and hopefully the remedy I have in mind.
I plan to grind the front of the mount down and move the light mount holes back and maybe over toward the outside a bit. I think it is definately the bracket as I have had the mentioned issue before.
Sidetracked offroad you have been a pleasure to work with thanks again and you will hear from me in the future.

I had the chance to install my front fog light kit this weekend. I am still extremely happy. I ended up grinding the brackets down a bit and drilling different mounting holes so they would tuck more neatly inside the bumper holes. I am testing the difference between the amber and clear lenses on the floods. Most likely will go with the Ambers. Let me know what you guys think.

I have dealt with Sidetracked for about a year. Excellent customer service, excellent products and I am so lucky that they're local...I get to go stop in on a whim. Big A+

I will be placing my order for these soon. But I have a couple questions first,

1) Why are 2 switches required if each T4 draws 1A? I was hoping to tie them into switch #4, which is a 10A.

2) It looks like the amber/blue lenses are an option, and mounted on the inside, which is great for avoiding coming off or getting stolen, but the pics above show external clipping style. http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14/11/21/5898079096ac33220e1dddd89c379573.jpg

3) Most have bought the T4 and not the T6. Is there any reason?

Thanks.

Wow. Just checking the rigid prices and they're $200 each. Would be near $1000 for these instead of $260.
