    11mm flush mount LEDs in my N-Fab steps. I used one per step (with lens), and ended up using three in the rails per side (no lens) since I had them laying around. Wired directly into the door trigger wiring in the A pillar so they come on automatically when unlocking from the remote or opening the door.

    Install is pretty simple, I used a step bit to drill the holes, ran the wiring through the tubes and into the cab. Used 3M (or Goop, can't remember) glue to LEDs into the tubes.

    Will do! I'm extremely happy with how much they put out, more than enough usable light for my needs. This isn't my primary offroad vehicle so I'm not concerned about damaging the LEDs from crap hitting the rails.

    I just drilled two holes in the side of the ammo can and bolted them down with carriage bolts. I used to have a tonneau cover and trimmed some from the lid to get them under the bed rail.

    Hah, I may put some RGB 5050 led strips around the truck on a separate controller that can function as rock lights in a pinch, and keep these separate for door entry. My main trail rig is a 4 door Jeep on tons and 37s with full rock lights if I want to get stupid :) I run these on the Jeep with 3m heavy duty double-side tape and they work awesome: http://www.oznium.com/high-intensity-led-floodlight
