Finally got a chance today to install the bull bar. I think it turned out pretty good. Its not as strong as the one i had on my last truck. This bracket does want to give if you push it or pull it enough. My old westin mount was strong enough that if u pushed the bar it did not flex. This one will serve its purpose and hold a LED light bar. I am thinking of making a bracket to give the middle part of the bar stability going back thru the "mail slot" on bumper. That way it will stop and flex.

I've been wanting one, but I can't figure out how to make one work with all of the chrome on my truck. A chrome one would be to much, and a black one wouldn't match at all.

Well I was set on getting one of the 20" LED rigid light bars for it. But due to NYS front license plate law I would be blocking the plate... So just when i was going to go back to the HID offroad light like i had on old truck, I saw the specs to the Rigid Dually D2. I never realized how many lumens these put out! 2600 per light! http://www.kbcarstuff.com/Rigid-Industries-Dually-D2-LED-Light-p/duallyled-d2.htm

So I found them on amazon yesterday, And almost bought them but even tho they were the cheapest there, the price was still high. So While i was in my email, I found a email from KB for some new LED fog lights.. When i went to the site to price them and get specs , I saw the Dually D2 on there ,and KB has a coupon right now for 10% off and free ship! So I'm gonna take a shot and get them. $340 is not bad considering on most other sites, they are $180-199 ea.

Yes that is a very good deal IMO. I was thinking about getting some SR-M2 wide and driving, decided against it. There's another brand that makes similar lights as well but I can't remember the name.

I was going between those and Anzo, but once i saw the durability test that rigid did on theres, it sold me! Waterproof, Lexan glass, pretty much break proof. And these will still mount through the holes in the bull bar that are allready there. This way i dont have to buy any different brackets.

Yes it is a Westin. I bought it off a member on here. You can find them on ebay for $250ish depending on the style you g with / SS , skid/ etc.. I got it off a member on here for $260, But he had the skid powder coated black , and included the license plate relocate bracket which is another expense.

But definitely check ebay..

      New car smell air freshener

      I found an odor eliminator spray that neutralizes unwanted smells pretty well. Using it with the car's AC running helps to distribute it evenly around the cabin.

      WTI futures / speculation is just that. WTI futures <> current 4-7% inflation and national average gas price over $4.00/gallon.   The spot price, at delivery, is currently $87-$95/barrel which is why gas prices remain high.   Edit: oH mY gOd mEnTaL BrEaKdoWn In tHE pOsT aBOve mInE.

      He does, actually. In another unrelated video he mentions the president called him in the middle of the night to relay some information on a cause (religious based) that he's invested in. Glenn expressed concern that another leftist administration could wield too much power with some procedure the Pentagon was using, classifying certain religions a certain way. Being that he is LDS (Latter Day Saints), he gets hate all the time from ALL over the political spectrum, so he's invested in this. Trump called him back at 5AM to tell him he had made some changes to that classification.   So, yes, they are and have been in contact regularly since the start of the administration. Glenn, of course, always asks his permission before discussing anything on the air.   I already spent an hour or more just searching for these videos. I may have my numbers wrong - I'm not a numbers guy. It may have been a MILLION barrels, not 1.5. The point is, our President, by his actions, gives a crap about America, and US - this is completely OPPOSITE the actions of the prior administration who projected hatred for anyone who wasn't following the left's edicts in lock-step.   Remember, they called January 6th an "Insurrection", when there were ZERO weapons among the crowd, undercover FBI agents agitating the crowd, along with paid leftists acting as aggressors, egging the crowd on in an attempt to whip everyone into a frenzy. It's all been proven.  Pelosi refused Trumps request for more National Guard troops. This smells 100% like an inside job for those with critical thinking skills. Only a handful of guys in the crowd got wrapped up in that, thankfully, but EVERYONE was searched out based on cell phone data, and charges were brought against many. And 6 or so people were locked up and left in solitary confinement for YEARS with ZERO due process!! If you give the slightest crap about our Nation, REGARDLESS of your political leanings, this should frighten you to your core. This is what men suffered, bled, fought, and died against 250 years ago!   This has gone FAR BEYOND left vs. right. This is a  threat to America, and our way of life. This is PRECISELY why Trump, a BILLIONAIRE who could have chosen to take Melania and sit on some tropical island that he could afford to buy himself and RELAX, instead chose to run for office, get hate from literally every corner of the media, get ATTEMPTS on his LIFE constantly, and begin to repair some of the severe damage that's been done to this Great Nation.   I don't know why I bother wasting my precious time here. Everyone has their minds made up. They won't realize we all were correct until it's too late ... after they elect another tyrant that hates America to office (Obama), or another puppet whose administration is secretly running the show behind the scenes (Biden).
