I love the subdued graphics. Are they available?
Hey thanks! Sorry but they're all custom made...except for the matte black track stripe running over my hood/bumper which can be found everywhere on Ebay...

Update...red rear markers installed same as front grill LED...

Sharp eye might notice "TOP" on lamp is upside down lol...doesn't really matter as it's symmetrical...

LEDs mounted to 1" x 1" aluminum extrusion then attached to top of plastic trim...the tailgate swing clears the lights :whew::)

The LEDs are wired in parallel and cabled behind the mounting plate, run behind bumper and tied into license lamp...they don't serve as brake/turn but are always on with the markers for added rear visibility/safety:like:

Awesome build! Raptor grill ordered for my truck and glad I read your post first as the the light kit that is available from others is $99. Curious if you noticed a significant change in mpg with the lift and tires?

Yes, you will get a hit on MPG after lift and tires growth...I'm looking at 18.5+- city, 21+- highway...not surprising...can't get something for nothing :)
