Liking this build so far! Looks great. Flame Blue was on the list after Oxford White for me. As for your issue with the dome lights coming on all the time, you can ask your dealership to put it in Law Enforcement mode. They need to go into the Lighting Menu of the BCM to do this. However, you lose all of your dome lights and exterior lighting unless you want to turn it on. Meaning you have to physically turn them on with the switch. Your MFT screen still comes on, though. I had this on my truck for a while (summer in AK means dome lights aren't needed!). I had them turned back on in the fall.
We finally finished up the trouble bar/rack for the truck. Well, almost finished; I still have to strip and powdercoat it. All-in-all, I'm quite happy with the way it turned out. Very solid/strong, aesthetically pleasing, and has a lot of built-in functionality, including tie-off point and locking hangers/hard-points for my hi-lift jack and sand ramps.
Finishing up the rack prior to installing on the truck.
Bad *** dude looks great! Always wanted to go to Arizona one day and seeing little hints of it through out your pictures is making me want to go even more so! Love the rack!
Like seeing ppl use there trucks that's wat there made for. Idk how sum of the guys on here keep there trucks so nice lol . I couldn't do it if I tryed liveing on a dirt road
Only question is why didn't you go all the way with the bars to the end of the bed?
Modular man. Keeping them clean isn't that hard. I personally live on a dirt road and I just wash them everytime they get dirty and take it easy on the backroads so it doesn't throw up rocks and chip my paint.

Only question is why didn't you go all the way with the bars to the end of the bed?
Good question. The main reason is that I intend to (eventually) build a rear rack that can be installed when I'm carrying overhead stuff like lumber and ladders. I don't want this rear hoop rack installed the majority of the time, but will occasionally use it on long work weekends. I wanted to leave the rear stake pockets open to allow this rear rack to easily drop in and remove.
