2 hours w/ beer and 1/2 without. I always have that decision to make.
Usually end up with a 4 hour job, LOL

Not just today but the last few. Put on my Hearthrob dual exhaust. 3" in and 2X2.5 out. Sound pretty good without being too loud. Took out the spare to install and decided not to put it back under with all the rusted parts. Built a mount for the bed, works great.

It looks like pretty good quality, better than the cheap eBay ones I've seen people run. Light out put is pretty dang good.... (For those about to condem me) I know I know it's not rigid it's not as good it doesn't throw light as far... But honestly who cares, it puts out a ton of light was only $70 bucks and who the hell has $1500 to drop on a light bar for a daily driver lol if I need to I'll retrofit eventually

How exactly are you going to go about making a "bed"?
