Does this slide in any further? (Next hole?) I was looking at this, but would want it sitting deeper.

Gotta link I need those when I upgrade suspension!
Where did you find the arm rest?Extended door arm rest, ditch light brackets with Baja’s, rock sliders, Garmin PowerSwitch, and rear cargo upper shelf with Baja dome light, just to name a few…
I made them. I have a couple extra sets, but I'm not sure I'll be selling them.
Another option that will most likely work are these from superior engineering
200, 250, and 300 arms are all the same length and have the same mounting dimensions. 200 series bushing are a little bigger in diameter. I'm using 200 series bushings in my arms.
It’s made by CA Tuned Offroad. They should be having it listed on their site very soon!

where did you source your Garmin? Seem like this one would work and it is way cheaper than the rest. Your thoughts?Installed some ditch lights, the Nashfabco brackets, and a Garmin Powerswitch.
I agree with what others said elsewhere on the forum, the nashfabco brackets are way over priced for what they are, and although my tabs didn't break, they will eventually if/when I take them off a few more time.
THAT BEING SAID, I think they look great and currently, they are meeting my need to mount lights AND an antenna. They also provide additional engine compartment venting, though it probably doesn't need it.
I went with the Garmin Powerswitch because while spendy, not running wires through the firewall is priceless to me. I'll eventually add other accessories to it, but for now, it's just the ditch lights.
Fortunately everything you need to install it is in the engine compartment, power and a ground.
Based on a photo posted by another member, I decided to mount it on the passenger fuse box cover and that turned out great because the battery power and ground is nearby.
I used the power towards the front of the truck.
I cut a very tight hole through the cover, and loaded up the connection with dielectric grease for a little extra protection due to that hole. I will follow up and put some silicone sealant around it eventually.
Factory ground point on passenger side, conveniently ran the switch and busbar ground here.
I'm sure I could have made the wiring prettier, but I wanted to leave enough slack and such that the cover could still be removed and set aside without disconnecting anything and that's what I've achieved.
For the lights, I'm giving these lights from Harbor Freight a whirl for 85 bucks. I've had Rigid before, and I can't tell a difference in quality. Time will tell.
And here they are on the brackets. I gave a test drive tonight and now I understand how useful these lights will be, not just for offroading.
And the side with the antenna.
Screenshot of the powerswitch. I wired the lights separately so I could turn them on independently depending on need.
Oh and I installed hoot struts. Should have came with them.
Productive day!

Justin I didn't see that what they posted is $200 for a buss bar a bracket and a small fuse block. Which is kind spend given that might be $50 worth of stuff. I see the drop down. One last question. Did you wire your stuff up through a relay? Thanks in advanceI'm not sure what you're showing me. The full kit with the power switch at that link is $810 dollars.

No just to the ground and power point shown in the photos.
Minor tweak, but got some additional illumination in the cargo area. Bit of a pain shaking the wire, but worth it imo. It’s touch on/off like the lamps up front.
where did you find that light? thx

All their stuff is on Amazon too.
Removed my running boards (step 1 in installing rock sliders).
Question for the 1958 folks: does the underside of your trim piece look like this, or is there some additional trim piece that clips on if you don’t have the running boards? That’s a lot of little pockets to store mud in.
