I have my headlights and to ones for what's in front of me, regular driving, but my brush guard lights are for reaching way out in front of me, they have saved me from hitting a few deer.

The backup camera is a bit much. I like the toggle switch idea. I need to find a spot to mount a few myself.

I could do a backup camera... Be nice for driving in memphis, backing up to a trailer alone (which I seem to do a lot), mall crawling watching for stupid lil kids....

I wouldn't mind having a camera in front of both front tires. I could pick lines without having a spotter.

The Raptors have that. A camera up front with the lines that move on the screen as you turn the wheels.

It's super trippy.

Gotta say, it rides SOOO much better with one leaf out. It still has one more leaf than a factory B2 leaf pack.

also I moved the driver side axle up a hole, that's why my alignment wouldn't be perfect, I had it in the 6" hole of my custom built bracket... instead of the 4" hole. Now the steering wheel centers back perfect and it drives straight.




also did the anti-rattle pieces for the windows. Now my windows don't rattle, it's really nice!!!
Before:

After:



another thing I did was cut down and paint a piece of 1" angle that I'm gonna glue to the front top lip of my speaker box. That MDF doesn't take hits to well but it's made to hold weight like a false floor.

I angled the Lifetime LED's... they ain't bright enough to do anything with my headlights on so I'm just using them to light up beside me better, they work great for that.

But right below that there's a 1 inch wide one for the same transferase, np231, that you have said that has a 1 3/8 wide that the bw1354 has. I would check around to be 100% sure.

The np231 has different widths. Even a wide chain kit for extra strength

needed to do some travel set tool cleanup:


comes down to this:


All packed in:


Slowly switching a lot of stuff to Gearwrench and Craftsman, a lot of this is still HF stuff but it's my travel set so I don't want to tie up to much money into it.

HF isn't that bad, it has a life time warranty, just like craftman.

Yeah, but lifetime warranty doesn't help me on a truck set (meaning I usually only have 1 with me) and it breaks when I need it.
Don't get me wrong, I ain't had a lot of trouble out of basic handtools (except ratchets) from HF. Some of the 12 point sockets seem to be a softer metal than they should.
