Looking good I can't tell from the pics but did you use round tube on the front of the box ? Something I am considering since it's the only part on the top from factory with a flat piece .

Ya. Well my office did lol. Good eye. It's a little different on my truck where the top roll is hidden instead of being inside the box.

Those are some really nicely made tail lights. Who makes them and who sell them?
