well got the tcase in Saturday ...now for some reason the m and s is lit up on my dash and the d lights on the shifter are flashing and it feels like it is stuck in third gear ....guess I need to check some wiring ...man it took a lot longer to swap the tcase than i thought ...lol...tried to drop exhaust studs broke ome thing after another hope this cdl is worth the hassle lol
on a side note if I was going to stock RTE parts and be the Canadian dist. for them you think there would be a market here ?

Looking good Bill

Maybe a bit late, but a couple of shackle rings and a solid jacking point (for high lift jack) are always useful additions.

Hopefully you'll have it ready for some snow runs in the New Year!

already thought of that the d rings bolt on the bottom thats what the three holes on each side of the bottom plate are for and beside those are cutouts that a high lift jack fits into and the teeth grab on the edge of the 3/8 plate / winch mount ...I didn't want the d rings hanging off the front I wanted the bumper as short as possible... next week ill start on the rear bumper

Looks great, the bumper is nicer than anything you could buy. How to the lights work? look to shine off to the side and up.

tattz · #17 Post by **tattz** » Thu Jan 15, 2015 2:18 pm

thanks ...as far as the lights on the side they are wide floods the shine out the sides and light up in front of the tires and out wide to the shoulders
