Looks good (different). Although I like the hoops on my T-15.
Also, be careful about the size of your lights as we only have about 7.7" of height to mount the lights. That is why I haven't mounted any yet. I want as large as I can fit, but also want a quality light. The Hella 4000's are too big at 9.2" tall (that's what I wanted too), but the 4000Compact should fit, but it is only 6.8" tall and will leave a 1" gap. The 3000Compact (7.7" tall) should fit perfect, but it has silver trim around the lens and I want an all black light...decisions, decisions.

Are you sure the 4000's are too big, because i know BruceTS here on the forum runs them on his T-15 and also I believe Jacksonpt is running them as well. I don't know if they modified the brackets to get them on there, but I don't think they did. Maybe they'll chime in.
Fuzion: the lift is about 2.5" via SAW's and Downey rear coils. The tires add a few more inches as well.

Your truck is looking awesome. I really like the center hoop but wasn't sure about the side hoops. Did you consider not putting any of the side hoops at all to look more like the ARB? Just wondering...

Hopefully they will let us know what (if anything) needs to be done to fit the 4000's as that is the size I want to use...

After reviewing BruceTS' cardomain page, the lights do go in front of the center hoop. So it looks like I was incorrect...
I doesn't look like he did any mods to mount them, but maybe he will chime in to let us know for sure.
