The outermost SS3 MAX fogs are hooked up to the OEM fog switch, using adapters from @SPVPARTS. John also provided me adapters to power the amber backlight, once I install their triple fog light harness. So then the 2 inner most offroad lights will run on upfitter switches. I need to do the...
You have to account for the angle of the bottom bar, but you have ~5” on the inner most tab. For the outermost tab, you can fit the 3.5” Element if theirs and 3.3” SS3. Don’t forget to account for the mounting bracket.
So far…
The SS3’s just fit the outermost position, but the lens edge hangs over the bottom bar.
Going to redo the washers on the 2nd pair, slightly too low for what I’m shooting for…
Yes I am, they’ll fill the wings nicely. I’m using washers to gradually space them down slightly, from outside to inside, to match the angled opening. Almost done…
..And the DD SS3 bolts/mounts work fine with the light tabs.
Yessir, DFW...looks like you're not far from me.
I appreciate that! I already have everything, but I got a pretty good discount over the 4th. If I need anything else I'll let you know.
The issue is with the bumper, the space under the winch plate is limited due to the sloped vented steel plate...
Thanks! I like your lights too.

*Note the front mounting bolts are a PITA to get in given the wedge shape space. You can only get a wrench in there and cannot torque...*
Missed answering the "how long"... Toooo long! :ROFLMAO: I had to work on the ACC bracket and modding for the camera sprayer, then touching up the paint, took hours... I'm not a machine shop. Again, If I had known to expect the mods, I wouldn't have ordered with powder coating...wasted $$...
Thanks. I have HOSS 3.0, front was at 40' to fender well edge before. Bumper and winch should be ~170 lbs. I'll measure in a bit, but doesn't seem to have sagged much...maybe .5"... The back sagged much more with the LOD bumper/carrier, dropped 1", the rear springs are much squishier...
I'll...
And the end result, still need to add my DD lights,but I’m beat! 🤣
Just got the skid, just in time…
And sprayer works like it’s supposed to, too!
Now to tighten the radiator support bolts on top of the frame. I didn’t have the packer spacers in my bag of bolts, which ARB uses in their video. Those would be hard to put on as you would have to remove the bolt and it is super tight. A spacer appears to be needed so that tightening doesn’t...
Fitment before snugging bolts, which was really good:
After tightening, with the sequence mentioned... This was the best I could get. Still a little close on the passenger side, but everything is shifted over as much as possible. The passenger side brackets just seemed to fit more snug than the...
My finished ACC bracket, which works like a champ…
I didn’t like just using the rubber grommets for the parking sensors, and the sensors could easily slide out. Holes are too big for the OEM clips by themselves. You can make the OEM clips fit inside the rubber grommets if you shave ridges on...
Camera mod, camera extension, so I didn’t have to undo all the wiring, and washer extension.
3 ft. of Camera Cable and you can get sprayer hose from AutoZone, in the back. I bought 3ft, but probably only need 1.5-2’ if you redo the connections and use the OEM line also.
I had to notch the...
The Element Cannons are 3.5” each. I bought 3 sets of Diode Dynamics SS3’s which are 3.3” and they work barely. Outside ones the lens frame rests in front of and on the lower bar of the wing. If I slide the light bracket on top of the light tab, vs below, that gives a couple mm to spare. I’ll...
I just finished my install and took some work and mods for Sure. One frame bracket on outside passenger I had to drill out a hole as it was a few mm too far back and couldnt get the bolt through straight.
After a lot of shifting while I was snugging everything, I found the sequence. Get all...
