Door Molding. (stuff that people put to keep from getting dents. I decided to put this on my fenders after I re-trimmed them. 2 packages from Oreilly's will be enough for both front fenders.

Its not finished yet. Waiting on winch to come in to build the hitch carrier. It will look like a full bumper when completed.I will also be able to move to back hitch when needed. This is the first time I have built something from scratch with metal. It may look big but it only sticks out 6.5 inches from front of grille and the lowest point is flush with unibody. There are some more pictures on my profile of how it has gotten to where it is for now. total investment $0 lol

haha... I just realized that I have the "upgrade" to that NEBO light he has in the console - mine has three modes, green led, white led, and red laser pointer... not quite sure why someone would need it, but it sure is fun watching dogs and cats go nuts over it.

Switch panel
I've thought about pulling that vent and using it for either switches or my 12v sockets and usb charging ports. Any problem with the heat from the vent? Did you block it off?

Now I can transport my bike inside my vehicle, keeping it free from rain and other inclement weather when not in use. Keeps it perfectly upright and doesn't bounce around at all. I'm very pleased with the simplicity and efficiency of it.
Isn't that the Talon 3?
