Rigid flush mount srq, rigid switch in overhead....

Very nice. Good pattern at night? Did you do a spot or fog pattern?

Great pattern...did spot.  They are a little high, I had to shim them even with the up/down mounting brackets from rigid, but I got tired of taking them apart figured they were close enough.  I get flashed once in a awhile, but screw it.  Took some time to get the wire up to the overhead. thought about running another wire while I had it apart, wish I would have now.

This is Perfect. I’ll probably end up with the same one. 
how difficult was it to mount it in there? Any chance you could share more info/tips for the next guy

Hey Bill,

Sorry for getting back to you so late. First remove that plastic insert, the lightbar is actually recessed a bit in that area. You will use the mounting hardware from the lightbar, and mount light bar from the bottom. There are slits in the bottom of the lightbar to use for mounting. You will not have room to mount it from the ends. Drill through the bumper, and the back plate. I inserted sleeves between the bumper and back plate, then used extended bolts to tighten up. Your license plate will be mounted lower now. I just drilled a small hole through center of license plate and mounted that way. You won't be able to mount the plate using the original mounting holes, plus plate will hide all of the lightbar mounting brackets. Hope this helps.

was looking at this one, purely because we get a lot of fog in the area. Not sure If it'll mount like the one above or not

As we speak I have a custom reducer on the CNC machine so that I can swap the rigid light bar for a Baja design s8 in the center grill.

I'll try to post some pictures once it's done but that sucker is brightb49fac3930abd8be455fc7f80d3e7a2d.jpg55003dcbccc00af7bd1ea16f15c892d6.jpg

Swapped the Rigid Radiance+ for a BD s8.

Had my friend C&C a custom bezel for the s8 since it's 1inch shorter then the Rigid.

Not sure what to do for PODs

      Well that book won't sell many copies. Taking ones right foot off the loud pedal never gets applause. Funny really, It isn't that people don't know what to do...they just don't want to do it. But they will complain about it. About bad craftsmanship, about the cost of fuel, about the cost of part and repairs and mainly they complain that the solution while still possible isn't one they are willing to do.    I observe this daily. 'Gas cost to much!", they wail, while they mat it passing at 80+ mpg and scoot down the road like gas cost a dime a gallon. Then complain about the few that will lift and save both fuel and iron like they are owed and own the road.    Good thing they haven't an ounce of influence on my equipment. The rest I just laugh at. Stupid is as stupid does, right Forest?

      Today I filled up with 4.899 gallons of fuel at a cost of $4.899 a gallon. $24 bucks. 290 miles. 59.2 mpg. After my 4% COSTCO discount just under eight cents a mile.

      14-18 Sierra 1500 Heated Steering Wheel Help

      By SwitchBladeSierra · Posted

      Howdy folks,   Recently I pulled a heated steering wheel and clock spring out of a 2015 Sierra All Terrain (part numbers coming soon - will have to disassemble), and just installed it on my 2016 Sierra WT (as base model as it gets).   On install, I noticed that I’m missing the connector often tucked behind the dash for the heating element.     No problem… or so I thought.   I used an “Add-A-Fuse” at my heated steering wheel fuse location, which has voltage, but no wires. I ran it to the positive of the heated steering wheel (Violet/White), and took black to ground.   Hooked up the battery, turned the truck on - no heated steering wheel. No button backlights. Was pleased to see that my cruise control was working though.   Read a post suggesting reversing polarity, so I gave it a shot. Violet and White to ground, Black to power.    Aha! Heat! But I seemingly can’t turn it off AND still no backlights on any of the buttons.    Checked all fuses, everything is still in good order. I’m stumped.   Does anyone have any insight? If so, please share!

      Brake Pad Warning Message

      By TrueBlue · Posted

      I'm about 1800 miles into my last oil change, and yesterday a message appeared saying oil life was at 77%. Not sure why it popped up but I think all of these electronics could be susceptible to solar flares or somesuch. I change my oil right at 3K each time, and that was the first time in 10870 miles that message came up. Strange thing is that it showed on the screen at all since I don't drive with that sort of info displayed on the DIC.
