    Ditch Light Brackets for 2021 TB - Opinions and Pics

    I drilled a hole in the plastic cover and routed my wiring thru. Yes, the SDHQ mounts are gymnast level tricky to get installed...lol

    I have the SS3 Sport Combo. I like how you mounted the control box. I didn't even think about doing that!

    Ditch Light Brackets for 2021 TB - Opinions and Pics

    Got time today to install the Rough Country light controller and get my SS3s hooked up. Not many options to mount the controller, but found a spot to mount and love the brightness of the SS3s.

    What did you do to your Trailboss today? 🛠️

    Finally got my RC Light Controller in and got the SS3 lights hooked up. Not many options for mounting stuff under hood. Happy with results. Still will need to aim lights when out on level ground and dark.

    Ditch Light Brackets for 2021 TB - Opinions and Pics

    I agree, the SDHQs are pricey for what they are, but I decided I didn't want to skimp on a cheap accessory (just my thought process and nothing against a less expensive alternative). Forums like this help filter out the marketing sales pitch of stuff and give real world examples/uses/reviews. I...

    Do you think a different light would work better? It looks like the bracket may be further forward than where the SDHQ bracket is. I am sure there are pros and cons to any of them. But after having mine on for almost a week, I still am happy with them. I applaud your trying to get best solution...

    Good looking TB. That front bumper is menacing.

    Ditch Light Brackets for 2021 TB - Opinions and Pics

    Took about 1-1/2 hours to install. Would have been easier if instructions were a bit better. I was just being extra careful along the way as to not scratch my paint and it is not easy reaching in to secure lower bolt with spacer provided. Biggest feature for me was the hood can be opened without...

    SDHQ Brackets and Diode Dynamic ditch lights mounted (didn't have time to get wiring done as I am waiting for my light controller to arrive). I posted more pics on thread about ditch lights.

    Ditch Light Brackets for 2021 TB - Opinions and Pics

    My SDHQ brackets and Diode Dynamic SS3 lights arrive today. The instructions for the brackets were adequate, not fabulous. I figured out what bolts they were wanting to be removed and once I figure that out, install went fairly smooth. I used a small o-ring to keep spacer on bolt on lower part...

    I have placed my order for the SDHQ mounts. When I get them, I will take some pics and give more feedback.

    I saw a guy posted mounts from SDHQ which I liked a lot. I am getting ready to order them along with Diode Dynamics SS3 lights for my TB. https://sdhqoffroad.com/collections/sdhq-built-a-pillar-light-mounts-chevy-gm/products/19-current-chevy-1500-sdhq-built-a-pillar-light-mounts
