On a separate note I will say that I love Rock Hard products. I have their engine and transfer case skids; However, the roll cage is a bit of a let down when it comes to fit and finish. I did not like having to re tap 30 threads! and on final install I discovered the drivers side of the up right has at least a quarter inch more clearance over the dash than the passenger side. (You would never notice it unless you were looking for it) Not to mention the box the cage was delivered in was a disgusting mess by the time it arrived on my front door. Rock Hards packaging is horrible!!!
Thats a lot of complaining for a guy who is generally happy with the look, function, and price of the product.

It is. So far so good. Had it about 4 months. Good solid construction. No paint issues as of yet. Led lights are not so bright, however. They are fog lights, not off road lights.

I installed my LOD Rear Shorty w/ linked tailgate this weekend. Waiting on an AEV 3rd brake light since the tire moved up quite a bit. Now my back matches the front

Front and rear spot light switch plate
I copied someone on here by making a switch plate for my spot lights. This is the second time I made it. The first was with aluminum that was too flexible. This time I used an aluminum bar that I bought from home depot and made it long enough to add future switches if needed. I cut it with a metal blade hack saw and drilled it with a step drill bit from Harbor Freight. Then I filed and sanded it. I attached it with screws and nuts behind the dash. I like how it turned out for the most part but don't like the screw heads sticking out. I tried countersinking them but they are too close to the outside edge. Maybe I'll buy some rounded head screws. I also had a hell of a time pushing the switches into the faceplate. If you look close you can see the plastic tabs sticking out a bit on the tops of the switches. Is there a trick to them not sticking out?
