A double row works well behind the Denali grill. Here's my 30" curved Totron:                 The LED's are 1" appart and the rows of holes in the grill just happen to be 1" ap

The correct term is "illegal commodities broker" thank you!   I actually work for an oil company, which is similar because both businesses provide highly desired products at artificially inflated

What brand light bars would yall say we're the best or most reliable

I would put the Baja Designs lights above the Rigids. They are higher cost, but you do get more for your money. They're not for everyone's budget.

 

You can google a bunch of comparisons people have posted if you type "Baja designs vs rigid".

To those that have bought from HarborLED. Have the long term quality of your light bars been good? Also how is the output? Thanks!

I used rigid d2's but don't see why you couldn't use the XL. I actually thought about that when ordering everything but couldn't justify the price increase vs lumen increase. That's just based on the numbers as I couldn't find many reviews of the xl's.

 

Let me know if you go that route and how you like them. Post some pictures too! And ha the Spod rocks.

I'm getting ready to buy a 30-32" light bar to install behind my grill on my Sierra AT. I think I want to go the route of having a wireless remote for now. If it fails down the line, I'll hardwire it. Does anyone know if these lightbars all have the same connectors? I'm looking at getting the Totron Wireless remote and possibly programming to homelink. The LED bar will probably be a decent quality one off of ebay or amazon. Should this all work together or would I have to clip and install different connectors?

 

Here's a link to the harness.

Heres the video using the wireless remote.

Your install looks fantastic. So we're coming up on one year down the road from your post. How is everything holding up? Lightbar still working as expected? How about the grill? How has it held up to the heat of those uber hot lights cooking away behind the grill? Any warping or melting?

 

Thanks for the information! :cheers:

Here is my father day gift 50" led bar sure it's a knockoff with the RC door brackets. Trying to solve the windy noise issue it makes because of the brackets

Let me know what you figure out with this. This is the setup I want but I dont want a howling light bar either.

You have to play with the light and tilt it at just the right angle and that will take care of the light high pitch noise. Some foam from the box in between some fins also helped. The 1/2 tubing fixed the wind threw the door and stopped the rain from pouring in thru the door jam. Poor design by RC in my opinion . If it was up to me I wouldn't recommend them at all.

My buddy has one behind the grill on his truck that we installed and it works good. No issues so far.

 

I am trying to find a 36" non curved dual row LED light bar with side mounts, unfortunately the Eyourlife on amazon are bottom mounts.

Good to hear. Do you have any pics of his setup?

 

Well with the bottom mounts if you measure right and get the right size, you can mount to the radiatior support bars behind the grill. I need to measure when I get home today but, a 30-32" should work just fine.

      Some Assembly is Required

      Common Sense Assembly   Your driveline is forgiving of the occasional mistake. It will even often forgive the random serious blunder. But it will not forgive a continuous bad habit.      What? Not everything needs to be a five thousand word essay.

      Gas Prices

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      We drove about 15 minute east today to visit a friend and saw a steep increase in price in the same county. About 50 cents a gallon steepper.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Sure about that? A degree wheel and a dial indicator would lower your degree of assurance in that statement. 😉    It why we have offset keys and dialable timing sprockets. Just say'n.... I've built a few and have never seen one "On the money".

      Tire psi

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I will admit I haven't experimented much with pressure drops beyond the numbers I put in and part of that is that the numbers I used are fairly low and then found out it would trigger regardless at that 35 psi. Having said that I had tried before had changed the placard pressures and being that I have a 1 ton set to 80 on the placard for the rear I believe it triggered close to 60, the front I don't recall now for sure but thought maybe it could get close to 45 from that factory 60 placard pressure. So I never did figure out if it was a number of psi from placard pressure to the alarm or a percentage of the total placard number as some figured it was like a 25% drop from placard pressure would trigger it. So as to try and answer your question, I believe I set the placard pressure on the front to 47 or so and while I run the front tires at 40, they have dipped below that some if its colder and I haven't put "winter air" in yet and never once have had the front alarm go off. I would say that the answer your looking for is no, that if you set your placard pressure to 45, you have a certain amount of room to drop below that pressure before the alarm will go off.    The pressures you decide to run in your truck, that ends up being what makes sense to you based on what your carrying in your truck or if towing, then have to bump them back up to something that will carry the load in the rear and the fronts typically left at the same pressure. It all comes down to that chart I put the link to and using an accurate roadside scale to be your guide, both unloaded and then loaded to know your minimum safe pressures.    I just wish GM would allow a person to change the readings for the tire pressures to the English system of pounds as I have to look at that goofy metric reading that will never ever jive in my head and will go over and change it just to figure out what they are if need be and then change it back.

      No Software Updates - Old Build

      By TrueBlue · Posted

      That part I understand, that the dealer can do it. But I'm not understanding why updates that were available to the truck since it left the factory, or the dealership originally, would not still be available to it without dealer intervention.   I'm thinking along the lines of recalls. They stay available until they are completed, regardless of whether they are in warranty or not, or in the hands of the original owner or not. Why not updates as well, especially since some of those can be safety related also?
