Default LED Fogs Installed

Got them installed, what do you guys think?!



Here I used a H1 Headlight Connector (same as the 9004 Fog light connector) to be the trigger wire. I didn't have to cut into the factory wiring.

Anyone who is following this build and are interested in the fog lights, here it is on the road with no headlights.

Default Mikestar Patagonia Tire (Review Coming)

I just ordered 40 13.50 R17in tires for my truck and will post pics when they are on the vehicle. I will also use with my findings. They are a really good tire (Made in the USA) and are reasonably priced. I got all 4 for $1260 with 4 certificates (that means any irreparable punctuation they will give me another tire or my money back) from Discount Tire Direct.

Took them through some snow really close to a foot deep and didn't even need 4wd. They honestly just dig and clean themselves out really good. Also they are quiet on the highway. No ice yet here but they will change. No rubbing at all, although it does come within a 1/4 on the driver's side. So far I like them I will update with time though
So far here are the pros and cons
Pros
Quiet on the highway
Aggressive tread design
Good snow traction
Cheapest Mudd Terrian Tire that will last
​​​​​​
Cons
Very soft compound will need rotated about every 3,000 miles

Welp 200 miles away from my first rotation. Got in everything but MUD yet, and I must say WOW. These tires are the best in the snow I have ever ran, they are really grippy even in solid ice. The rain was no match either. They do clean themselves and I haven't got the "click" from a rock in the tire tread yet, but they say it has rock ejectors in the tread. Will keep you guys updated and will measure the tread.

Just got some of those style bumper lights you did. Some cheapies ($20something) off amazon with no wire harness. Haven't decided exactly where I want to put them, but either gonna go in the bed (probably bottom side of tool box easily removable) and pivot so I can light up the bed or drop the gate and shine them out the back when needed, or I'm gonna cut out the newly developing rust spot forming in my rear bumper and put them there. Don't know how keen I am I putting them in the bumper, but it would be cheaper and easier than replacing or fixing the bumper.

Thanks for posting pics of those. The light output looks good.
