Yes put in a kill switch, yes run a relay for the fogs. Hell take it even further and upgrade the the headlights to draw power directly from the battery via a relay as well.

ok, so I'm wondering if the lights are mounted in the middle of the bumper, will they adversely affect the air intake? my step-dad doesnt want me to put them there, but I do. he wants them put off to the sides right beside the existing headlights. Any pro's or con's with these two ways of mounting? (ultimately it comes down to that it's my truck, but if he doesnt like how I put them, he may not help put them on....)

Whoops, forgot to say that I meant the driving lights on top of the bumper since Step dad said that it wouldn't be that hard to take off the bumper and install them (if that was even needed)

Davtaks got one, as does Jagblazer01.

Youre looking at $124 for the Westin, or you could go with a Hunter push bar for only $139.


I'd go with the push bar

Yea the fog mount kit would definitely make mounting the lights easier.

It mounts on the bumper brackets, which come off the frame rails at the front end. The difference is that while both provide light mounts...the push bar is bigger tubing and stronger mounts, so it will take more abuse than the safari bar.

You could also go with this bad girl for $189:


For the extra money you get the lower skid bars

Ok... So if I want to put in an anti-theft Killswitch, should I put the switch into the ignition wire or the starter coil? either one would be pretty easy to do, but i'm wondering which one would be better. Any ideas?
