They are Matte Black. Here's a better photo with flatter light. I like the flat black since it matches that lower black stripe on these trucks. Personally I think the 35"s are the way to go. Especially if you are going with Toyo Mts which are a true 35" as compared to the BFG. No compromise.
So the light is only attached to the grill. There really isn’t a good structure behind because of the automatic louver system that needs clearance to operate. I just recently completed a 2 day trip off road with all kinds of terrain and the light didn’t budge a millimeter. I think the compliant...
Another little optimization...
I wanted a second RAM ball on the dash for my phone. So I modified this double ball mount I found to fit the orientation of the AMPS.

Grip tape...

Yes sir they are. As soon as I get my sliders I’ll be selling the OEM ones. I’m in North Bay Area if your interested.

Finally got the bracket done for the S8. It came out perfect and is really strong. The wider tabs really help spread the load of the light. I added some compliant foam rubber to the backside to help “grip” the grill pattern and protect it. I love the look and it’s extremely functional.
As...
Oh and here are my dimensions for the bracket incase anyone wants to copy this. Please pardon the chicken scratch...this was a little napkin engineering.
A little update. So the plan is starting to come together a little in the communication and lighting area.

After being a Kenwood guy forever, I decided it was time to try Yaesu. I went with the FTM-400XDR. It has excellent reviews and...
Cool! Would you mind snapping a photo of that? My gear comes tomorrow and I’m already scheming! Love your build!
