    Front hitch anyone?

    Could always go custom. I'm just now looking into adding one but I want it to be in the center of the bumper trim. Then a winch hitch mount or beach rod holder, maybe bike rack could mount up.

    CHMSL wire tap for topper

    Just wondering to verify output. Does this wire only supply brake light? Or does it supply running light and brighter brake light. An if needing to run wires back from switches anyhow would it be possible to clip in to source side of pin26? Thanks for sharing so much already.
