Comp4x4 makes a hinge that looks just like the one you have. So I was asking if that is who you got it from. I was asking if Buckstop installed it the hinge in the bumper or did you.

So the short answer is you bought it that way from Buckstop with the hinge pin.

Ah. Hinge came on the bumper. The whole thing came as a package set to go.

Side note. Shipping company apparently made a guest appearance from hell as they somehow managed to do this to the tire mount

Whole crate got smashed. Luckily this was the only damage.

Now to rewire and find new plate lights. Also, I have not decided on how to do the auxiliary reverse lights.

What are the dimensions for that light pocket?

It's not here right now but I think 4x6

Sorry. It's actually 3.5x5"

So I finally decided to pick up lights for my rear bumper from Baja Designs. I literally really lucked out when I found out they have a faceplate you can swap it out for which matched the exact dementions of my rear bumper.

These are the squadron pros wide cornering lights from Baja Designs. They really do build their lights well. Honestly, I like that they don't screw people over and make them buy new lights for everything when you can actually just swap out their faceplates and almost have a whole new light.

So the question is, how do they look on the truck? Well… You tell me.

I'll have more photos when I do a photo shoot later. The only thing I have left to put together is the rear tire swing in the back up sensors… But I'm being lazy

I've been following both your Instagram accounts for a few months now and love the builds! I'm glad to see you on here too so we can follow the builds more closely. If I had the time I'd constantly be out boon-docking, but a job is a funny thing! Keep Exploring!

Thank you.

I don't get to travel all the time. In my traveling off-season I'm usually upgrading the truck based on experiences. When that happens, I'm usually putting around locally.

Oh but come March hehe

Things have been moving along

So we've recently made a new addition. We swapped out the old Yakima rack and in turn replaced it with a better Front Runner Designs rooftop rack.

I really like the modularity of front runner racks and the ability to integrate multiple things across the surface.

Switch Pros is another major upgrade we just installed. The controls everything from the compressor to the light bar, Sideview lights along with the amber lights inside the Sideview lights in the reverse lights… Oh and the other bumper lights.

It even comes with an application for my iPhone where I can control everything from outside my vehicle on my phone. I can program which lights go on flash like hazard lights which lights have full strobe...i.e. the don't flash your highbeams at me button.

Awesome pics looks like a great time! Interesting setup with the switch-pro unit. Never seen that one before. Similar to Johns S-Pod setup which I LOVE in the Jeep and should have done years ago. Suburban HD will be getting at least one at some point. Very clean way to get things wired. This unit looks interesting as well with nice clean install. Looking good!

Best of Luck,

Mike

Great build! I stumbled onto you on IG and then on here. Looking forward to watching how you progress. I basically have a mini version of your truck, f150 that is waiting for a 4" bds lift, 35" Ko2, and ADD bumpers. Just need to find the time to install it all. Heck even have a mini German Shepard, mine is mixed with a Shiba.

That's pretty cool. Can't wait to see what you do with it. Do you have a rack in mind? What she'll is that?

Things have progressed quite a bit. It's time to just stop and take in the sights.

Honestly moved to fast in the last month or so to cover it all.
