    its the Super Cab (SCAB) as opposed to the Super Crew .. door and a half really.. plenty SCABS around if you look. Has a back seat but not too much leg room - im guessing 12 inches small back seat that the Crew.

    Don't want anybody back there anyway, they'll just complain about banging their head off the ceiling...

    figured I would show a decent picture of your twin. As of 2-28-17 there were 2 Avalanche Scabs built as 802A, tech pkg, moonroof. Was thinking yours is the other? Looked closer at the pics of yours and I see you don't have the moon roof. Prolly a smart move, at least it's guaranteed not to leak!

    Racedeck has it's advantages- freedom of design, easy & fast to install, pretty low cost, easy maintenance. Are you installing it yourself?
    Thanks for the compliment on the shop, it's a work in progress. It's next to my company wood shop, which another story, but I have already threadjacked here...
    It's a 10K asymmetrical Bendpak-it has pros & cons, but it's all mine. 20 - 20 hindsight, I would prolly stick with a standard square lift, or a really nice 8' tall 4 post with center dollys...

    It's made by Bulldog lighting. https://bulldogledlighting.com/ They are all american, great service, and half the price of the "R" brand. I made a thread over at frf at the request of someone,I am not normally a thread starter, but I could make one here I guess. The light kicks ass, and doesn't block the front camera nearly as bad as anyone elses light because of the smaller dimensions and mounting. They aren't a vendor here, so I might get yelled at.

    i like it a lot!! Sadly VT has a mandatory front license plate - No inspections / Registrations issues without a plate - yearly inspections and local PD is happy to give tickets as well. No sure how it will fit but im going to take a look at reach out to bulldog. I'd love to do 20 inch on the bumper and then fordraptorlights.com is building a 2 and 3 light drop in mount for the spaces on the bumper. im thinking of getting the 2 light (2 each side) 1 of each white and 1 amber ...

    wish list.. hey - thanks for the pics and the info.

    I have mandatory front plate on Long Island too, I just choose to take chances....
    I have the Baja Designs lights coming for the bumper openings- 1 spot, 1 flood, 1 amber each side, see how that works.

    these are the mounts I used, took a few tries to get the angle just right, but I think it came out ok.

    That bar looks amazing! No pics by chance on where and how those mounts were installed?
