If it only could've been 77 outside. I would've been tempted to sit and wait for the one degree cool down lol
concur. you could have just gone out and cover the temp sensor for a few minutes. While driving at 77mph. We'll just pretend that NE was pointing at 77 degs. This would help with my OCD

Well no one's perfect...in-spite of my "meticulous" install, one of the lower studs' adhesive failed somewhere along the 3,500 mile trip through Michigan's infamous pot holed roads..subsequently, more and more of the studs failed...Air Design was kind enough to send half dozen replacement studs and it's now buttoned up again...?

This clever design allows the studs to removed if I ever wanted to restore the fenders to OEM...

Air Design has a patent on this attachment...not sure about other "bolt" fenders but I suspect they're either fake or, God forbid, drilled through the fender ??

Didn't think I could add more lights? ?

Been sitting on these TSSP brackets for a couple of month...finally saved up enough for the additional lighting...Diode Dynamics SS3 Sport amber fogs and combination white driving pods...

Before with OEM + Diode Dynamics white fog kit...

That is a nice result! Now you have me thinking about copying it. I already have the DD Max fogs in factory location (AMAZING lights btw) plus their Max Driving and Max Combo to go on double ditch brackets so do I really need more forward lighting...I know it's not a question you ever seem to ask yourself ? Plus I've been trying to think of options to fill out the six shooter I have as well.

LOL...I pretty sure we're ok...cross fingers...I've had every light on simultaneously for roughly 5 minutes...The headlamp, lo + hi, fog running on vehicle circuits...The rest running through Trigger comprised of 3 pairs Rigid spots/flood + 1 pair of BD S1 ditch pods + 1 pair BD S2 rear + 1 pair rear 4" cube + 2 pair side cubes + 8 rock lights...think that's all ?

During the test, there was no indication that the battery self protection wanted to shut the party down nor was there any flickering...no smoke coming from Trigger 6 Shooter ??
