This was a pain in the ass. I wanted a rear light bar…but lack of mounting options kept me from doing it. I was out in the garage one day and noticed the blank spot in the faux rear skid plate. I removed the bumper and started cutting. Was able to wire it in to the OEM rear fog light switch. Pretty happy with it

That's fucking cool, wire a relay in so it runs off the backup light too. That way people are really sure you're backing up 
2.5t, it’s not a screamer. More tractor like. Feels very tourqy, about 200ish hp. The 2.5 blocks can’t take much past 300 before they come apart. Could swap in a v70r/60r motor and a bigger turbo, but even there you are limited to 400hp.Ron Vogel
This is a 2.5t right? How are you liking the power so far? I’m intrigued with them and how cheap they are, also encouraging there’s so many with a wild amount of miles.
400k+ miles is not unheard of stock though. Trans, bevel gear, are going to go way sooner.
I went with an amber light mounted lower. Grille was all smashed up…did a quick epoxy job to clean it up. Took the bumper off to get the headlights off, then polished them. Trying to get some ideas for painting the lights, so don’t critique the electrical tape on the one side
Yeah, the white bumper light was kind of useless. The overhead bar is so bright, couldn’t even tell when bumper bar was on. I paid $20 for it…so no great loss. The amber bar is twice the wattage of the old light for the win
