If you didn't know we make front bumpers, now you do! We announced these several months ago (among our full lineup for the 4G) and are stoked that we now have them IN STOCK! ZERO lead time. Ditch those dreadful fabrication lead times and get a bumper without the wait... We make all our products right here in the USA, down in Arkansas. Our approach to bumpers is a "hybrid" two-piece design. A massive steel winch cradle and a robust/reinforced aluminum shell. Strength and weight savings, all in one. And as always... FREE shipping. FREE powder coat. FOREVER! We offer our bumpers in three versions. No bull bar, PreRunner bull bar, full bull bar.

I must have a short in my one-dash pillar speaker when replacing the factory premium JBL speakers because I recently lost all sound inside my truck the other day. Music, tones, everything.

I don't know if it's safe to cut the factory harness off and direct wire to the new dash speaker. I guess what I'd do is retrace my steps. If I could, I'd probably figure out what I did wrong and check all my fuses.

Also, someone advised that I need to disconnect the battery before doing any electrical work next time, which I completely forgot about.
