Closer Look at bodyguard. Ordering it with the shackles and in bare metal. I need to cut some holes for aux reverse and brake lights, add in a step/jack point like the Ranchhand has on the corners, then get it lined here locally

Bumper was ordered. 3-4 weeks to build and another 10 days to ship. Got a call from the shop saying the frame was bent 7mm up and a leaf spring was bent...another $900 to fix it :facepalm:

Is it me or do most people with S*itty cars suck at driving and don't care about other people's stuff? I mean every wreck I see around here and on this site most of the people have junk yard cars that hit a nice vehicle.

Wired the Round lights into a 4-pin trailer plug, so it's all tucked underneath with no splicing. Running lights are dim, brake and turn signals are bright. Reverse lights are tapped into the 7-pin from where my old ones were at. Didn't have time to wire into the dome lights. Think I might still do that on a SPDT in the cab.

Also moved the trailer plug from under the hitch to next to the license plate, no more smashing it on crap, had to get a $30 adapter form Carquest, but I think it's totally worth it. Only thing left is to get some black button-head 1/4" bolts to make the lights harder to steal

heatshrink, electrical tape, and wire loom over everything, then ziptied out of the way.

Was the ram there for moral support for the neon?
