Thanks rockchuck. I think I'll get a pair of those flush mounts above and cut them into the back bumper for backups. I got on Rigid's website above and went thru the light tester setup and ended up ordering a 20" light bar for the front.

just ordered some Offroadtown lights from amazon. A friend just put them on his tundra. They are bright and inexpensive.

Anybody have any idea how long the cheapies last? I've never killed one. Have fogged a few cheep china LEDs but two of those have been submerged on multiple occasions. Those are on a trail rig that doesn't see a lot of miles, but the miles are not easy ones. The ones I linked have only been on the truck for a few months, so no long term report. Sorry for the late reply. That's how often I venture into the time suck.

I ordered the 3x3.25" off Amazon but they didn't fit the bumper. They'll go on the wifes truck. I found these local and they were a good fit. The downside to a flush mount light is you are at the mercy of the angle of the bumper as they don't adjust. But they are bright!

The front one's are done as well. RIGID makes an amazing fixture. Looks like daylight over 100 yards in front of the truck. The additional two round Warn lights cover the banks along the roadside so I can see deer entering the road from above.

The RIGID website was a big help with their interactive display showing distance and spread of each fixtures coverage. When these guys said expensive, they were right. I was surprised they didn't come with any kind of rock shield for daytime driving. I used 4" pvc, split it, shaped it, and painted it black to fashion an attractive shield. It keeps the fixture out of sight too. I also bought the theft resistant nuts for the hardware. I came up with an idea similar looking to a socket that would shield the nuts on the mounting hardware so thieves couldn't get a vice grip on the nuts to remove the fixture. When I get time I'll fashion a set.
