Well spent several hours on the "project" today. Looked high and low for white led's and when I found them.....they were not that appealing at $60 EACH. So, my local TSC had some plain jane 6" oval, normal lights...REALLY liked the 6" red oval led's...but, not for $35 each!! So ended up with the cheapies and 3 2" rounds...thought about a couple more but after I got them installed I decided that 3 was enough.....kinda like kids 
So now I'm getting ready to ship it over to my paint and body guy.....oh, wait minute...that's me?? Need to kick him in his tail and get it done... here are some pre-paint picks with lights installed. Oh yeah, went with my big FREE CAT worklights, mounted on the sides so they can rotate fully out to each side AND I made it a wrenchless design so when I want to rotate them I don't have to fumble around looking for a wrench. Just twist my little rig, rotate the light and resnug the nut.....I love doing this stuff!! Wish I could find a job like this!! Oh yeah, and a view thru the screen, mesh metal stuff....look through it for a minute

That looks real nice, are the red lights on the side just stop lights?
You need to check out this place for lights and toys for your truck,
I find things I never knew I had to have.

I hear the first person in the door on the first Monday of the month gets to walk out with anything they can grab in 20 minuets.
Sorry
Just kidding on the last part.

Actually, I kinda like the red lights. I think I'll save my pennies and buy the red led's at a later date. They are stop/tail/turn lights. It's one of those things where you have the idea in your head and then you come to the crossroads and you just don't know how it is gonna look. Then you get it done and say, "wow, that looks great". Got it primed today, should be sanding tonight and will paint tomorrow and should get some finished picks, not mounted on truck tomorrow evening.

"line of fire" sticks?? What are those? I found these type in town and on this site and was thinking about putting them on the outside edges of my rack legs, facing away from the side of the truck, but I'm not to sure on if I can have the reds pointing towards the sides. Kinda thought I would have to do yellow, but then you'll still be able to see them from the rear??
