What did you do to do a dual mount off of those FRL brackets? I'm looking to do a near identical setup and it looks clean, but I can't quite make out your hardware setup.

ARRRRGGGGGG!!!:facepalm:
Watched helplessly as a black thingy come bouncing from under a truck and...thud...a piece of rubber hose I hope...nope:curse::headbang:

Looks like a bolt of some type heavy enough to dent the hood right down to the metal...I guess it could've been worse...a degree down and smashed headlamp...a degree higher and gash the top of the hood then smash my windshield...these are times when the best things in life would a time machine...

Change up for the ditch spot to a Baja S1 single pod...moved the Rigid flood down to the grill next to the other pair of Rigid spots...also ditched the OEM wiper blades which were chattering like crazy (crap product) and replaced them with Rain-X blades...much better:)

Boooo! Hopefully you can get it fixed up soon!

That looks good! Similar to what I'm doing, but I'm not jumping in to Rigid stuff quite yet.

I've been sitting on a painless dent removal tool kit so when the weather warms up I'll give it a shot...sux it's down to the metal but it's "battle scars" :wink:

The smaller S1 Baja flood allow much more angle of attack and aim right at the black spot when making a tight turn...love it:like:

Yeah, I feel you. The paint on the mustang took quite a few little chips like that all over, hood, bumper, and mirrors. Much more than I would've expected in 2 years. I'm trying to avoid as many battle scars on the Ranger as I can, but that's how you know it's truly loved, right? haha

Sorry about your battle scar there Sid. They say the first ones always the hardest. :crying: I know what you mean about having a time machine. It's like man if I just got stuck at that last red light!:angry:

You'll now have to change your avatar pic since you moved/added the lights. :p

I will do that! Here's a quicky lighting my other baby with just the 4 Rigid spot/flood combo...

Side task floods looks like it'll do the job:)

Grill LEDs wired up and that sure makes the difference:like::clap::clap::clap:

Well, I got my Raptor grille installed. Also installed Stage 3's light bar with wiring harness, which plugs into the side marker light. I swapped out the amber led's with the same style you have (white instead of amber, though). My lights won't light up. I can't figure out why. Stage 3 confirmed I have positive to positive. Shouldn't be anything miswired. I've been trying to see if you posted anything about your wiring. How did you wire yours up?

Looks good...as for the how to, please look back the pages...it's decribed back there...

Have you tested the lights to see if they work by connecting battery directly?
