This is my trailer hauler and backup vehicle so this does see winter weather if necessary. But it may not see too much this winter once I get my Red truck all done

Glueing not only attaches the panel but it also SEALS it so no rust can start. Welding attaches the panel, burns off paint and leaves perfect environment for rust to start(especially in hidden areas)

That truck looks amazing as usal, Brad.
To be honest, your "Hobby" and backyard is what most of the members on here has wet dreams about....ROFL
I do have a question regarding for rear bumper/lighting setup.
1) What brand of light is that, and is it ran on a switch, or into the Reverse Lamp Circuit?
2) How much of a pain was it to cut out the holes to place the lights? I have a Luvern brand rear bumper, and the left side has had the chrome plating to seperate and now there's a nicely rusting spot (that's inexplicibly a perfect spot for a nice LED lamp!).
Otherwise, keep up the good work!

I have LED bulbs in the stock backup lamps location,
The oval pop ins are just standard Clear LEDs
I also have LED flood lights mounted below the bumper as well.
All of them Combined draw less than the original incandescent bulbs so they are just wired into the stock backup light wiring

I agree, incandescent bulbs suck a LOT of juice, compared to LED's
