Yes, the lights are wired along the A pillar down to the Trigger.

Made a great Craigslist score. Found 20” Range Rover wheels with TPMS sensors and 285/50 20 Cooper Zeno LTZ tires. Well reviewed off-road tires with only 1,100 miles on them. Paid $1,200 for everything.

They were silver, but I plastidip led them black today. I’ll likely have them powder coated when I need new tires. I’ll mount them tomorrow and add pictures.

On the way home.
After cleaning, prepping and spraying the wheels.

I used those in 255/55-19 and really enjoyed them. You got a nice deal on them. That's one of Coppers most expensive models.

Only the switching is wireless. Still have wires running up alongside the windshield on both sides for the front and rear light bars.

Finally got 20” wheels! Spent Saturday plastidipping them black. Fitted them Sunday and immediately got it muddy.

285/50 20 Cooper Zeon LTZ. Looks slammed at access height.
Power line trail.
Finally properly dirty.

Did you install lift rods? I own a tire store so I'm thinking about trying some different sizes. I did 275/55s with the rods and it's close but I think I'd prefer a 285/55, unfortunately those are in 10 ply and I'd rather not stiffen up the ride. I may try one on just to see how it would fit. The 275/55 doesn't rub at all but doesn't leave much more room for additional height or width so the 285/55 may not clear. Your truck sure looks good! I hope that lucky8 releases a light mount like the one they were testing that goes in the grille. I don't need extra light since the LEDs are crazy bright but it would look Pro!

No lift rods. I have a Llams unit coming from Davis Performance. Couldn’t beat the convenience of the electronic system over the rods.

I’m about five hours from Lucky 8. I may bring my truck up to them for them to install the hidden winch mount. if we do it, the install will be featured in print somewhere. It will also be hard not to get those light mounts in the grill. And who knows, maybe I need more light anyway?

I've heard the light mounts should be in stock soon.
