It's been a while since I've done any mods on my Hoe...I had my neighbors kid help me out today with cutting up the rear bumper to install some flush mounted cube LED's. As most of you may or may not remember, my neighbor who passed away had a son who took an interest in modding so I had him step up his game today and handed him a grinder...I cut the drivers side and he cut the passenger side of the rear bumper

We both took measurements and proceeded to cut the rear bumper...long story short, his side came out a little off but who cares...it's a 17 yr old truck...I saw it as a perfect project for him to practice on and try something different.

We also had to cut out some of the inner bumper supports so the lights would fit into the bumper...that part sucked! we both got some nice sparks in our face lol. After we finished and mounted both lights, I handed him the keys to take it to a carwash since I haven't washed it since January...on his way home he managed to kiss mirrors with someone driving in the opposite direction and shattered the lower part of my tow mirror lol...I'm sure there's a replacement piece on ebay for a couple bucks...no big deal, I had a great time today

so you measured the lights and cut the hole to the measurments, then screwed them thru the bumper?

Good to see you found your way back over here and make time for us forum peasants.

Not a bad job. Lights look pretty good, that mod isnt for the beginner modder either.

And in his defense on the mirrors, he's not use to driving a vehicle with antlers

Nice work and big hats off to working with the boy. A good lesson in teamwork and a reward for hard work, even though it shattered a mirror. :thumbsup:

Thanks brother...we're all car/truck enthusiasts here who enjoy working on our own rigs rather than paying someone to do it for us...we gotta share that passion with anyone who shows interest, even if it results in a shattered mirror :cheers:

LOL...I've been busy looking for a new house the past couple months, I haven't had much time for modding. I figured since we're moving next month, I had to step up his game and let him grind some metal rather than having his face buried in his iPhone
