Got to do a little playing around on the truck today. Just finished up.

I also added the sPod to the truck. I have other lights to add, and I still need to wire up those lights, as well as the ARB twin compressor. The last pic gives you some idea of the direction of the build.

Thanks! :favorites13:

They really do. The quality of the bumper was really good. And I have never in my life seen parts packaged as well as this bumper was. It's really hard to describe. It was a bear however to assemble. I'm glad my wife was free today. LOL

I had an sPod on my Jeep. I really liked it, so I got one for the truck. It allows you to do anything you can imagine with a segregated 12v system so it doesn't interfere with your vehicles systems.

Take that chrome grill of and get it linex'd (easy project), looks good I wish I had the arb but they didn't have them for my 2010. I had one on my last vehicle a jeep, it was wonderful and best of all lighter then other bumpers. I had that grill, below is how it looks now.

Father in Law has that bumper on his FJ along with an Old Man Emu lift kit, makes for a great overall set up. I'll have to tell him about the light controller since he has been wanting to add more lighting to his rig.

Believe it or not, I still dig the chrome. I may do something different in the future, but for now I'm going to rock it as is. Thanks for the ideas, and for posting a great looking truck. :favorites13:

OME makes great stuff as well. For the pricepoint, his stuff is really hard to beat.

Here is some info on the sPod.

I like that front end a lot, by looking at the touch screen you are building a nice truck. You should start a build thread to capture all this in one location.

I guess this thread got moved... Couldn't find it for a while. Lol


Thanks JB1. I might do that later. For now I guess this will do.
I also added my IPF Ambers and wired them up yesterday.

Thanks brother.


I finished fully wiring in the Ambers to the sPod. They work pretty damn well. I still need to fine tune the aim, but they are not bad for now.

This is standard low beam and ambers only. The camera doesn't quite pick it up, but the diffused amber lighting is significant. I'm sure in foggy conditions they will be awesome.

I didn't include it in this thread yet, but I also have added some AMP Research power steps. I've had them on since around May, and it has been a great addition to the truck. Way better than the Mopar tube steps that came on the truck originally, and now nothing hangs low when I am offroad.

So you plan on never doing anything that's going to rip those lights right off the bottom of the bumper right?

:roflsquared: I actually made a quick disconnect with easy disconnect plugs for just such an occasion. I don't think I will be throwing that money down the drain anytime soon. I can have them off in probably under a minute. I need them however for where I live down by the mouth of the bay. When the fall and spring fog rolls in off the bay, it gets quite thick.
