I ordered the 8 gang Aux beam and installed fog lights (the bulbs are white light and with a quick flick off and back on they're amber, rear reverse lights, and made my own cluster of lights recessed behind the lower bumper and added the polished tow rings (Amazon).... I ordered a canopy from Alibaba (haters can hate) easily put together and three person install and fit perfectly... I found a game changing bed slide on Market place and installed it with rivet nuts... Obviously this was over a few months and not just a day....1000012974.jpg1000012976.jpg1000013080.jpg1000013083.jpg1000013086.jpg
 
Here are the flushed reverse and rear very bright lights
I’m gonna level with you, I had no idea people actually ordered truck parts off alibaba.

It all looks good!
I watched several YouTube videos and with some trepidation I pulled the trigger on the order....like the YouTubers state it takes a while to arrive... Some peeps received their canopies in three months and mine took a bit longer... For $800 including S/H it was a cinch to put together by myself and then had two friends help me put it on the truck... I thought of a drawer system but they take up a lot of space. So, I watched market place for several months for a bed slide until a used deal came up that fit the bed... The best slide has sliding hooks that can be moved along its rail and I can strap stuff down... Cheers and thanks for looking♈
 
Oh, it's a PITA to get that plastic lower grill off... I ordered a new one off eBay for $40 as I had to get physical over finesse ... Someone with more patience would likely get that grill off much easier

I use to order all my Hydro dipping Supplies from Alibaba. I even ordered the tank from them. Took awhile for things to arrive - but no mark up from US based distributers.

Where did you get the lights in the lower grille?
