Awesome. Looks great! I did the same with my
Bighorn! Ended up doing a sport bumper conversion too!

Did u happen to do anything to protect the fender from the flares rubbing thru?? I only ask because I took my flares off this week to change the bolts from chrome to black, when doing that I noticed there was a distinct line worn into the clear coat where the flares come In contact with the fender ... this was evident on all four fenders ....

I’m too neurotic to have that happen so I’m makin an appt to have a shop near me apply bullet liner to the fender from where the fender makes contact with the fender and below to just under the lip of the fender . Gonna cost about 300$ but I won’t have to worry about the flares wearing thru my paint leaving me vulnerable to inevitable rust !

Mine is for my Ram 2500, but I'm still willing to post pics and a review afterward if you want

Odin,
Few questions... do the 2500's also need to be drilled on the underside? Also, how do they attach to the exterior fender? Is it using double stick 3m tape or just a rubber backing? I would be slightly concerned that the latter would rub paint away over time whereas the tape would just hold firmly in place.

I have not done my install yet, it's too cold out and a chance of rain so I'm holding off till tomorrow.

But yes, they need to be drilled on the bottom. Some holes line up just holding it up and some don't. And mine has 3M tape only to hold against the body.

Custom made lights with diode dynamics switchback halo. Lights are crazy bright ... the light pattern is clean and sharp.... best thing is how unique they are.

I run rigid lights on my mud boat. Awesome lights no doubt.
