You vs the control arms she told you not to worry about. @Clayton Off Road

These things shoulda come with a girth certificate.

Are you replacing all 8, or just the 2 front lowers?

Front 4 right now

I just unbolted them, and put black duct tape on them to keep them from clanking. What method did you use to break them free? I've seen a few brave enough to use an angle grinder to cut through the back side.

I used heavy duty zip ties

Got around to installing one of the two FreedomCoast fork carriers for mine and the wifes' bikes on my 813 Molle panel. Kinda wish my bike wasn't as LONG as it is, so I could close the tailgate all the way and carry the bikes this way when we've got the camper hitched up...

Prepping (bedliner) new bumper for installation.

Well i tried to install my tailgate/taillights wrap this evening. I got the tailgate completed no problem(still have to install retro JEEP letters, but wrap is on) started running out of sunlight, got frustrated and messed up the wrap for around the drivers tail lights. So for now just the tailgate will be wrapped until I get a tail light wrap replacement.

Also installed my Dirt Road Cred RGB interior lights. Hard to see with the roof light on but I have them set to orange.

Not today, but recently, I installed new side steps from Amazon and the Dirt Road Cred grill lights.

If I swap to a '24+ grille I'll probably get these also. Not been a fan of the Oracle ones I have...

Waiting for Dirt Road Cred to make a 4 piece set

I commented and asked if there was going to be a 4 piece or a rear addition and he replied there was going to be both. So I went ahead and pulled the trigger on the fronts. Ill add the rears when they get them figured out. Def glad to help some guys trying to grid hard and make a living and using all ISA made matrials.

Yeah I've talked to Matt a few times. He's good people, local'ish to me and I like his business mindset.

I’m digging these reverse lights. Any chance they can be wired into an auxiliary switch as well to use when parked? For camp lighting or some work in the dark.

Get a Tazer, that'll let you triple click the unlock on the fob, and it's all back lights on until you click or do something else. I think it does time out eventually but it's a long time.

I use them for that occasionally. It works quite well. I do it for extreme tailgaters.

Pretty simple if you’re used to 12v wiring. Think of the diodes as two inputs going to one output. The inputs are the aux switch (or any switch) and the reverse circuit. The diode protects voltage from the aux switch from back flowing towards the reverse circuit when you’re not in reverse and the truck doesn’t expect voltage there. The single output goes to the lights. You only need one diode. The output from the diode goes to both lights. One input to the diode comes from the reverse circuit, which can be gotten from the oracle harness. The other input comes from your on-demand switch. Does that make sense?

The diode I linked has been the one I’ve been using since 2021. It hasn’t flinched. Granted I waterproofed all the connections extremely well with gratuitous amounts of shrink wrap and marine connectors.

Yeah, should be pretty simple, run a line from the Aux in the passenger floor board, button of your choosing. On the diode there should be some kind of marking like >|. The > is the "in" and the | is the "out" side, | is the wall that prevents back feed like WILDHOBO said. A T-tap into the plug and play harness would probably be the best place to connect it, on the Oracle light side, the not into the factory side. Just my $0.02
