I'm throwing around the idea of tow mirrors myself, I was pulling a 24 foot trailer the other day with a New Holland "Boomer" sized tractor on it. Even after adjusting them, it was a bit odd to pull and back into place. The led behind your grille is awesome man! Care to provide some closeup's of how the mount secures to the rubber bumpstops?

Awesome! Thanks a bunch. While I've got the front of mine torn apart doing paint, I figured it'd be the best time to light the front up!

Sounds awesome! If you can sometime at night post up a pic of the light output from your 42" bar from the cab. I wanna see how much makes it out from behind the grille! I'll be working on mine all weekend.
