Seeing your Airstream reminded me, has anyone seen the new Nissan commercial? with the SUV pulling the Airstream. you can tell it is either very light or an empty shell, the truck and trailer hit a bump and the trailer looks to bounce airborne.

DOT fog lights. I haven't pitted them against the OEM ones, also, they're in the bumper.

You can see them in this picture. Picture would decidedly be better if my phone didn't have a scratch down the middle of its lens. I pulled the bolt out of the top middle next to the recovery loop and used that to mount the lights in there. Other than having to cut down one of the allen wrenches to fit in to tighten it, that works wonderfully. You'll also have to drill out the mount bracket a bit, which was... entertaining.

Thanks for the link, those suckers look bright.

The OEM fog lights, at least the LED ones, do not seem very bright. Primarily for looks. My old Super Duty with standard halogen fog lamps were brighter...but then again, they needed to be, to supplement the awful headlamps.

You know I believe I did...but cannot find it on the internet with my search wording.

Yeah...but honestly...did you see how rough the terrain is they are riding on?? Any trailer is going to bounce on any truck if you hit the bump it did

Airstream's are light, hence the name. A SD is overkill for sure, but better to have too much truck than not enough. Plus, you are always ready for the next toy.

Then next week I upgraded the truck with this:




2017 Durango Gold 5th Wheel G380FLF

75 ft from nose to tail without trailer cargo rack folded down. I wish I got the Trailer TPMS & Camera Package. For now, the wife and I will just yell and fight when we need to back-up. The package is $725 to order as-built, but $1100+ to have dealer install after build. Doh!

Installed my top side toolboxes as well as my pack rat slide in. Also got the new plow installed and will be wiring up my spreader soon.

Can you take a picture of the front of the truck without the plow I want to see how much you see the plow mount on the truck

Great pics y'all. Srkr, those coolers are over priced but I have the same one, it stays in my bed 365/yr full of drinks and ice and I've used it daily for over 4 years now. There are competitors out there now, but there simply is no other chest that will hold up to daily use.

Are you shooting birds or clays? My son and I have gotten into the clay shooting. We have a nice course nearby (Clinton house, Clinton, SC).

Ryan, those super cab trucks look like real brutes, made me laugh when I saw the name of your side boxes. Nice nice set up.

Led driving lights, I installed led bulbs in my factory light housings and they are bright but they don't project as far as the halogen bulbs. The whiter light color is awfully nice though, hopefully someone figures out how to get the best of both. My 20" light bar is really the best of both but it's also not the prettiest to look at.

I travel the roads almost full time and I still have only seen 1 2017 truck rolling down the highway. I look forward to seeing more for sure.
