Absolutely love mine.

Killer build. I've been eyeing the RTR grille, and just saw it in stock on ExtremeTerrain of all places. How much did it end up costing to paint the fiberglass hood? The combination looks pretty great.

Thanks, cost me around 1200 for the hood to be painted, but i would guess you could get it done from around 700 or 800 depending on the color. Mine is a tricoat.

Hey there y’all! I recently ordered the Project X FF.70 spots along with the RTR bar for mounting the lights. I have a video in the works on the install and for those curious, I drilled the hole for the wiring and added silicone. Just drove through this crazy winter storm and no leaking!

Overall my thoughts are very positive, they look killer and get compliments everywhere I go, the install was easy, the light output is AMAZING. Even with the spots instead of floods, it’s a wide beam of light that goes hecka far out there.

I have the soft top and there is a noticiable sound increase from wind noise and soft top flapping (86 vs 82 decibels). It’s worse above 70 mph but is manageable for an off-roader like me who can sacrifice a little comfort for the benefit of light when off-roading at night (which I do often). I have heard you can fix some of the flapping issue by running Ford’s hood cover, lip thing which changes the aerodynamics and lessens the noise.

The RTR did come with some powder coat issues but when I reached out they informed me they are fixing this for future orders. Their customer service is super easy to work with.
Overall I am super pleased with the light.

I’ll also note that the RTR light at package comes with just the spots but if you purchase the light bar separately, you can then purchase any of their lights with my code and throw those on the bar instead.

Caleb,

You’re the only Big Bend owner I’ve come across who has managed to install the RTR roof lights. I’m assuming you do NOT have the factory AUX switch panel? I installed my own switch box from F-150LEDS.com - awesome setup and I’m running KC ditch lights and an RC light bar on the bumper. But the switch box sits next to the fuse box, so I still don’t have the factory upfitter wiring or the ones that run under the sun visors.

ALL of the online install videos for the RTR Project X roof lights are on the higher-trim Broncos with factory AUX switches & wiring. How did you pull this off without it? Especially the daytime running light feature? (I could splice an extension on the power cord and run it along the exterior weather stripping to the switch box. But then I’d miss out on the daytime running feature - unless I configured the lights to two different switches/fuses... What am I missing?
