Purchased my 2016 Big Horn 4x4 about 2 months ago. Started out like this

Next was a change in tires. Had Radar tires on it when I bought it, but wanted something a bit more off-road capable/looking. Have a friend who is a manager with Discount Tire, and recommended/uses the Nitto Ridge Grapplers. Been very happy with them.

Swapped out the stock sub with this Pioneer. Much better low end response, and tighter bass.

Looks good! I especially like the toolbox, sometimes wish I had gone that route again instead of the bed cover but it sure is nice being able to lock up everything.

Yeah, I really went back and forth on that. In fact, I ordered an Extang tri-fold for it, but I did not like the way it fit. Just didn't look right for some reason. Found this box at a local shop, and was surprised at the space in it. Plus, I loved the look of it. Wish there was a way to have a tonneau plus this box, but with it being low-profile, does not seem to work. Obviously, you give something up either way you go. Been very happy with this box, though.

What model Better Built do you have? I'm partial to the black.

What S Cloud said.
SEC low profile black. I forget actual size but think it is 72" wide.
Measured 7 times, ordered once..lol
Its narrow to fit in front of wheel well

That's why I went with the v-style box. Just to stay clear of the wheel wells.

Looks good. Which antenna did you use? I picked up a 2016 Bighorn myself a few months back.

Just swapped out the tail light bulbs, backup bulbs, and 3rd tail light/bed light bulbs to LED.

This shows the new LED on the left, old one on the right.

All replaced... Very bright!

Love the increased brightness overall

Only issue I had were that I bought tail light bulbs that were not labeled "error free." Threw the "turn signal bulb out" code. Thankfully, a few minutes with AlphaOBD fixed that right up.
