I like the lights you mount down low below your doors like the big rigs. I saw recon has them. I love their cab lights. Great lookin trucks davenport! Gotta have lights so the morons out there will see ya haha. More lights the better. Plus just looks mean as hell. Im in the process of building my ranch hand style rear cab rack with leds in it.

Thanks a lot man a lot of people don't like the lights and I understand that honestly if there not done rite they look like crap IMO. I've always liked the headache racks with the lights in em that is gonna look nice!!!!

I had a brain fart and couldnt think of the word headache rack haha. Yea I have the frame made just got to finish it and buy some more metal for my bed rail caps and the side pieces. Gonna kind of like a roll bar in my truck but it will be mounted on the bed rails. Then puttin a small safari rack on top with lights. Im gonna see if I can make it so I can haul two atvs in the back of my truck. I wish my truck was a long bed.

If you like the lights thats all that matters. I like the lights. Just mean lookin. Now if you put lights just anywhere on a truck, then yer goin overboard. Lights can make or break a truck. I've seen those lighted emblems for your grille. I wanted a ford one but cant find them anymore. Always thought those were cool or maybe put some lights behind the grill to make it glow or somethin.

Word of advice, shut the fuel off when hauling one of the ATV's in a wheelie position. I had 3 in a 12' enclosed trailer, and never shut off the fuel in mine. It didnt idle right for a long time after that.

Noted. Well the 450 is fuel injected and the brute is vacuum operated. I cant remember if its got an off postion. I know its got a prime position. I would like to haul 2 atvs and my dirtbike. I will be makin a bad ass bumper for the front with a reciever hitch so i can put my bike carrier on that and maybe I still can pull a trailer. Not sure if any of this will work though. Im lookin for a pop up camper too. I would love to have a toy hauler kind but if not I will just buy a normal pop up and add a deck to the front or somethin. I just done want to spend a ton of money. Im capable of makin my own stuff.
