This is the one I got. There are many other single row light bars to choose from, but I chose this one because it has combo beam pattern. Most single row light bars are only spot beam. I'm surprised at the price though. I paid $120 for it when i ordered it. Also note if you get this bar, you need to buy a deutsch style connector or something similar that will plug into your wiring harness.

Everyone that has seen my lightbar say its crazy bright, but call me crazy, I was expecting more. Don't get me wrong, it really is very bright, but a double row has x2 # of LED's. I really wanted a curved double row 30", but I didn't think the spacing in the grill would allow both rows to shine through. After searching more, I found someone that has done that with the all-terrain grill so I ordered another light bar and will swap it out to compare when it gets in.

 

thanks for the info. im trying to buy a light bar for my grill as well but looking at amazon I see so many different people trying to sell there bars and I don't know who to trust! but if I can get feed back ill probably bit the bullet and buy from the same person.

Hey kerrs, which double row curved did you order and where did you get it from?

Well I buy almost everything off of amazon because of all the reviews on the products, customer service, and return policy. If I end up liking this curved double row bar better, I can return this first one to amazon, no questions asked. I could also sell it too, so we'll see what happens. Really is a nice bar, but from the get-go, I really wanted to double row. I'll keep this thread posted, so if I decide to sell it I'll let you know here.

This is the curved one I ordered. Looking at the pics in the reviews, it's exactly what I'm looking for.

This brand also has same light bar, but in a straight version.

Thanks for that. Gonna get a silver all terrain grille eventually and then I'm gonna do this afterwards. Look forward to the reviews. I'm definitely an amazon shopper myself. Got an amazon card too. Lol

Has anyone smoked/tinted the lense on their light bar to make it some what hidden/low profile I hate how easily you can see it through the grille.

I doubt it. Would definitely take away from the brightness. At first I felt the same way about it, but after installing it and having it for a few days, it just looks awesome. Sometimes I park in spots so that when I'm walking back to the truck I'm walking right at it. Looks pretty cool.

Yeah I would see it taking away I guess it's just one of those things you have to get used to

It'll grow on you as it did me.

 

Working in the garage right now...just looks so sweet.

2.5" level, added 1" blocks in the rear

I got to get around to doing mine. I'm being lazy. A shop down the road from me told me it was 300 bucks just to lift the front end of mine with my rc 2.5 level. Not bad because it included the front end alignment.

But over the years of building my srt4 I probably saved 10k in not paying shops to do my work.

yeah keep us posted and I like how you can return it with no questions asked

I seen these light bars but I also seen that theres only a few reviews on them. im a little scared about that.

    • No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.      
    • Hello from Australia Just sharing that there is now a way to delete the active shutters entirely with just a plug in module. Opens up tons of room to light bars etc.
    • I have an observation and a question... 1) I watch the voltage closely because I have had to dial in the cut-in/cut-out voltages of the battery separator to my camper.  The "smart" charging drives me nuts.  Anyway, I noticed that when coasting for a while, and especially if lightly using the brakes (though not necessary), the voltage goes up from mid/high-13 volts to mid/high-14 volts.  Then it drops back down after stopping or going again.  Consistently!   The only explanation I can come up with is REGENERATIVE BRAKING!  Well, maybe that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but it's certainly free extra battery charging.   2) Driving on mountain roads I will use L and vary the max gear.  Things straighten out and I end up in L10.  Sometimes I leave it there for a while.  Is there any difference between L10 and D?   
    • Do you think this width might affect the chalk test with a higher pressure closer to 65psi? I think lowering the pressure makes sense to get the tread to lay flatter
