I don't think a bolt with a light in it is "bling" if it serves an actual purpose

now that i think of it, i think that lighted bolts would be better for a offroad truck becasue that way if you hit a rock or get soemthing tossed up there it wont break the lighted bolt like it would a reg light back there......and its lower profile would help keep it a lil safer....but hey thats just me

If I build a rear bumper and I can't make some factory lights work, I'll run those lighted bolts

THEN YOU'LL ALL SEE!



BTW there's nothing wrong with yellow trucks, just found your statement a tad ironic I suppose...heh

looking good lets hope that those welds are good for something over the 20,000LBs the Drings are good for (they do look like good welds to me)......that would not be a good thing if those came flying at you....
