Costco?! That seems to be a pretty goo deal. .I kind of want the ones that have the backup lights on em too. I found them on ebay for $100. Sounds kind of high?

I've had my Recon Fire & Ice for a year now with no problems at all. But be careful, if you mount it too high, the bottom of the tailgate will hit it, but too low, and it will block the spare tire hole. If it's mounted just right, you can still get to the spare tire, it will be tight, but the bar will flex a little to get the jack in there.

When I put mine on, I removed the plastic peice from around the spare tire access. This allowed me to mount the bar low enough so the tailgate won't hit, it is flush with the body, and still have room to get to the spare if necessary.

My truck had one when I bought it. I like 'em. Any information you can add for the wizards near you in traffic is a good thing.

I like the look of that light bar with those tails. And you are right, any more info you can pass along to some people out there driving is a good thing.

It's one of my favorite mods. Functional and looks good.
