Hey Fire, where did you get those grill lights? I finally got that same grill and I saw they made them for platinum grills but didn't realize they made them for xlt grilles. I measured the slot on my old xlt grill and the lariat grill like yours and its basically the same so I am thinking it should fit no problem.

I bought them straight from Rough Country

I'm a 100% techie geek and not ashamed to admit it....

I am replacing my Samsung S20 Ultra Note with a Samsung S21 Ultra. And while I'm on this spending spree, I've decided it is past time to bring my gaming system up to date so I've bought an Alienware desktop to get me started! lol

Did you go with the Alienware R10 or R11? I just recently had a custom m17 R4 laptop built after my last one started having RAM issues. Alienware is always a solid choice, especially if you can time it right and get 0% financing. I'm kind of surprised you didn't built a PC though. It's definitely not as hard as most people think and it probably wouldn't have been as intense as some of the things you've done to your trucks. Didn't you say you switched to an UltraWide monitor as well?

I bought the R10, but pretty much loaded it up to max specs.. I would rather buy a gaming PC so the entire unit is under the same warranty. I did switch to an ultrawide monitor last year.

Can't blame you for that. Should be a sweet unit. It's fun being able to play ATS with the settings maxed out.

I've got a HTC Vive Cosmos vr unit that uses too much memory for my current machine, so I'm looking forward to finally being able to play in virtual reality 😀
