The no overhang looks a lot better. I like the lights too.

Yes that is a TomTom on my dash.

No it is not mounted.

I move it everyday from my truck to my work van and then back again.
Yes I traded with Pat, another forum member, I was notified of a DI rack for sale, I called Pat, he bought the DI rack and then I drove to his house and traded and we then installed the racks on our trucks.
The lights are not hooked up, I cut the wires as I want round lights not square, I am going to move the 2 middle ones to the brush guard when I put my expanded steel floor on, I cant get them off with the rack mounted.

The only thing I use it for is finding cross streets, I cant read street signs until I am right ontop of them, and at 70mph thats way to close to slow and make a turn, so I watch the screen and I can see if I need to start slowing down or not.
I also use it for my actual speed as the speedo in the van is off.

Warn makes HID lights that are pretty reasonably priced (Under $600 for the pair of 7" lights. If I put lights on top of my truck I'm going with the Warn HIDs instead of Lightforce since the Warn has the ballasts inside the housing.
