Nice to see you back along with all the updates! Just curious, would those flares/brackets be removable if you ever wanted them off or is the mounting system meant to be permanent?
Thanks for the welcome and yes, I believe the stud's adhesive (a special variant similar to 3M VHB tape but designed to adhere to ceramic coating) can be persuaded to come off with care...

Nice build! Truck looks like a beast.
On your windshield banner, does it interfere with the sensor? I would assume it doesn't. How far down does it go?
Thank you! The banner is a matte black Orcal vinyl and I really needed that to keep the sun out of my eyes since there's very little way of visor tint up there. It stops short of the sensor so it doesn't interfere at all. It does get in the way occasionally to see up at stop lights but I have a roll of head lamp tint that I might try out later...

My local tint guy has computer templates for most windows that he uses with a massive tint plotter cutter. He did my front windshield and other windows, no prob and it doesn't interfere at all.

Looks really good Sid. But man that's one heck of a fall if you forget you're up there and go for that 2am bathroom break. :ontheloo:
Tent porch and ladder are dampered just enough for navel scratching yawn before reaching ground floor. :wink:

and welcome back Sid!

Hey John...is your visor tint on the inside? I thought about that but was told that the dot matrix wouldn't allow the tint to stay attached very well...

Not a Trekkie, more of a Lucas Hound, but mad props!! I saw the decal and instantly told my wife about it...VERY nice work!

Thanks everyone...believe it or not, in all that time, I only added ONE new pair?
These 8" LED were mounted inside the grill as DRL safety lights...can you believe some people still just pull out right in front of me as if I was invisible?

Lol...I believe you. Southerners are so much more friendly than people out here. I would get into so much trouble with that here. lol People here drive like complete idiots and have no regard for anyone but themselves. You might as well just toss out speed limit signs, blinkers and common courtesy because it seems like once they arrive here all are lost.

People out here don't even honk when they should! People sitting on their phones during green lights, merging like you're not there, etc. I don't honk often but I still feel like an out of place New Yorker compared to most people here.

Sid, can you take a pic of your positive terminal of your battery? I want to see how you have everything wired up.
