Funny I jumped on the rigid sale to upgrade my Amber spots to Amber D2 driving. I still have stock fogs for around town though...

I was waiting for you to chime in! This is all your fault. My install will be months down the road I would assume.

Can't wait to see them installed and the light pattern. I was on the fence for hrs debating between those and the D.O.T. fogs. Went with the dot ones and hope I made the right decision for what I wanted.

Installed some DOT-C2 2" x 12" Vehicle Reflective Conspicuity Tape. They fit perfectly when slid slightly up under the rear hatch gasket strip.

Did you end up using the 3M tape for the extinguisher mount?

Not yet, still the industrial hook and loop. The hook and loop is holding fast however the issue is the backing of the loop strip on the plastic is not sticking as well as I'd like.

I added some 1.5" wheel spacers today. I managed to trim enough in the front to eliminate rubbing but the back of the front wheels rub against the frame so I can't fix that without taking it back into the tire shop and having them adjust the alignment. I will get it in next week for that. I am sure I will need to do more trimming in the front once the alignment is done to fix the back rubbing.

Haha. Look and feels good, right? Welcome to the TE club. I blame everything on this forum. Lol. This last couple of weeks set me back $2500 already.

I just looked up what a hub centric wheel spacer is. Looks like a great option. I hit 80mph on the freeway today and seemed smooth so far. But if they start to vibrate I will most likely remove them. My local tire shop uses these all the time for off road vehicles and stand by their quality. Hopefully they are right.

If I can't remove all the rubbing I will be removing them anyways. I prefer function over form and don't want to deal with rubbing.

I will let the forum know if these work out.

if you're switching over to a hub centric spacers, maybe consider the 1.25" to help minimize the rubbing.
