Honestly I'd just run the z71 rack and add reverse lights to the ends. Thats what I did and I loved it. I however did run a yakima basket and 4 hella 500s and ended up selling shortly after, I didnt like it.

what reverse lights are those for the z71 rack?

 

[Ben]

everyone asks me that and they dont make them anymore or atleast dont sell them in the US i found them on a Canadian site but they were like 50 dollar universal fog lights i removed the backs and flush mounted them to the z71 rack and cut a hole in the rack for them to sit flush. Looked factory.


check that they are on amazon... (idk if these are the clear version or not, but if you get the blue version they look like absolute shit on the roof rack btw)

If you want I can walk you through the install, its fairly easy.

Thanks, I think I'm gonna use the bolt hole with a little silicone and send them into the cab

the lights ended up being blue lenses but ill just have them smoked so that its not so noticable
