Thats pretty nifty. I've seen those visors with lights in them too. Wish Lund still made them.

I also have lights in the edge of the side steps. You could add those if you wanted too.

I'm the third owner of my OBS. First owner had it for 200k+ miles, and installed a number of towing-centric enhancements at new, including this visor. Lights embedded, but never wired up. Any recommendations as to wire routing? Also, Brett's photo reminds me: anyone else find the clearance lights on the dually fenders distracting when backing up at night? I'm thinking a dimmer switch on those would be a nice-to-have. Leave it on full except when backing up at night and wanting to see more of the dimly lit surroundings.

I have that same issue. Added to the '90s purple window tint, and the old lens covers on the tail lights, sometimes I have to turn off my lights to see enough when backing up.

Dimmable side lights would make sense. Might look into that. I installed led flood lights in the new rear bumper I made. That helps alot.

I've been looking into some flush mount flood lights to mount in my bumper.

These were relatively cheap from Summit. About 35 a piece I think. I only have about 200 or so in the rear bumper build.

Not sure who made them originally. Lots of trucks had them so mustvebbeen a common option. I had a metal shop bend me up some new pieces for a part that was missing. It's just 1/8" aluminum diamond tread

I'm very careful about changing the beauty of what we have. I regularly get offers to sell my truck. answer is always same: HELL NO.

Like that a lot. I have a lumber rack inbound. Maybe mount backup LEDs on that, so I don't have to touch my stock bumper.
