New Fog Lights w/ DRLs & Blinkers just showed up...

I had to re-tune the plastic covers.

This isn't great... but it's "approximately" what it should smell like when finished.

You know,,, for just another $1000...

...of course I would lose my 7" light bars and the bumper slot lights would be partially blocked. But,,, I could squeeze in another 20" light bar up front. Just like the FU Bar I have in back. BTW,,, that is my brightest light source right behind my hood pods. They claim it's only 5100Lm which is a gross understatement. That F'ing bar is BRIGHT !

...or, a 20" Auxbeam 6-Mode bar. Either one would work and still be bright AF !!!

The possibilities...

***don't forget the 3 on the back. 18 total ?

The only "original" lights left up front will be the 2 Roush grill slot lights (10 & 12).

Nah...
I'll just keep it to 14 lights upfront. Plus the 3 on the back for a total of 17 lights. Which is fine cuz it syncs up with my lucky number,,, #017. I showed up for my 1st MX race with #17 on my bike but I had to change it BC some other kid had already registered in my class with the same number. So I threw a #0 in front of it and hit the track pissed off. I was determined to just beat the guy with MY number,,, but I ended up winning the overall. So,,, #017 became my number from then on.

Plus,,, the Winch/Bumper detracts from the look of the truck.

I'm done after this.

I like your truck and a fellow Texan I see. What is the paint color on it? ?

North East, Fannin County. Bonham, Ivanhoe and Elwood is the little farming community that I'm from. The Red River is literally probably less than 3 miles from the house.

New shit... Thx FedEx.

Time to get the cutting wheel out...

I may actually swap out the bracket on the passenger side to see how it looks and performs before I bust out the angle grinder.

But I'm pretty sure I'm gonna hate how high they sit,,, how far forward they sit,,, and how far out they sit.

I want my lights to sit in the same exact position they're in now.

Which is better...

W/ -OR- W/o the RC Bumper Slot Lights ???

I'm starting to feel like those Ruff Country Bumper Slot Lights don't really make the front light signature any better...

I feel like those slot lights make the front bumper look "cluttered" and "confused".

I don't need the extra 4800Lm. That's chump change considering I'll still have 118,000Lm left.

Maybe less is more (esthetically)...

It might be time to let these go...

 

[Deleted User 38384]

Yup... I've decided...

8 light sources stuffed into 1 Ford Ranger bumper is just too much. Y'all saw me say it... I guess I'll have to manage with just 6 (4 Fogs and 2 Retina Cookers).

The Rough Country Bumper Slot Light Bars are history. If somebody wants them,,, make an offer in a hurry cuz I'm about to post them on Ebay.

That's nice man, it looks better than mine. One of the local ranchers is having silage cut and there have been silage trucks running nonstop up and down the gravel road that I live on since I got home from Sherman and having breakfast with my Dad at Cracker Barrel. I guarantee you that my truck is completely covered in dust.
