Looks great with the blade on it. Hope you get snow and make some serious coin with it this year! All the years I owned my Dodge I thought about the '04 F350 CC/LB that I was looking at but didn't buy because the Dodge was cheaper.

And don't let brand bashing get you down. To me it happens with everything from trucks to football teams. People just really like their particular truck and will bash everything else just like they like their football team and everyone else sucks, you get the point. Bottom line is its your truck!

Your right brand bashing happens, and can be very silly! However when it comes to Football we all know the Packers are superior!

Well over the past week the truck has gotten 2 new batteries, altinator, weather tech floor mats and timberns. Today I installed the hideaways in all 4 corners. Headlights up front and in the reverse lights in back. They are crazy bright compared to my old truck.

I missed the picture of the blade. Looks damn nice! Would really like to try a wideout when the time comes for a new plow.

Well I finally got the lights all hooked up how I want and took some pictures.

I mounted the light bar and a piece of aluminum. I wanted it to sit as low as possible on the rack.All that's left is to seal up the light were I notched it for the wires.

Hoping to hook up 2 work lights on the rack also if anyone has any ideas to make them look nice and neat on there.

Looks great! I Need to do this with my back-rack and light, ive been lazy so i just stick it to the top of the truck carefully but it is starting to leave swirls. Gonna have to find some metal so i can make a base plate.

Maybe one thing i would have done different it made the wires enter the bottom of the 3rd brake light, so water couldn't get in there as easily and act more like a drain. Just my .02
What kind of tonneau cover is that? I have a cover to fit my truck but i added the rack and toolbox and want one to fit the rest.

Here is where my lights were mounted. They were put there by P/O. They worked great till i put the tool box on and now they shine off the tool box, but if i angle them up they don't have enough power to illuminate the ground behind me. I really don't like how the back rack brackets bring the tool box up so high, makes your blind spot larger!

Its an Access brand cover. My old truck I have the same one but its made to fit behind the tool box. There about $450-500 for the tool box cover.

I put the wires threw the bottom at first but I didn't want to have the connections for the lights outside the truck so to do that I would have had to stretch the wires tight to go in the bottom. I sealed it up with silicon so it should be good.

Those work lights on yours look nice. would they still hit the box if you didn't have the tool box brackets? I'm going to be adding a tool box to my truck but I wont be using the tool box brackets.

I actually havent tried without the box, i got the box for storage since a regular cab doesnt have much. The bars are almost 2'' tall, so the box would be 2'' lower without them, but the light still may reflect off the top?

Well guys I feel like the truck has lost power for some reason or maybe its just my imagination. I feel like it has extremely low acceleration. Never smokes, haven't lost coolant, no codes, everything on my scan gauge is showing normal. Any ideas?
