I have a '17 LTZ and bought the rcx 30" curved for behind the grille but my truck apparently has the electronic flaps/louvers and the bar will not fit. Has anyone found a way to make the bar or a similar bar fit?

Same here, I was going to order a Totron with wireless remote so I could program it to the homelink system and was looking at mounting locations to find the louvers

definitely can't mount in the front grille, those louvers encompass the whole area

What are you guys using for wiring harness and switches.

 

I want something that is dependable and wont catch fire like im seeing on amazon reviews

It depends on the company you get the lights from, for my 30" single row behind the grill I went with Black Oak and it comes with everything and it's very high quality and has a real warranty. I've had it on for about 6 months so not exactly a long term test but it's been great and super bright. I've actually used it quite a bit. Especially when retards drive on crowded freeways with their brights on lol [emoji23]

I have a question about wiring up my Rough Country 30" curved light bar. The wiring harness with the light bar has a relay that connects to the battery and then has a cheap push button switch. I am wanting to change out the switch to a round rocker switch that I put in the center console cig lighter. The wires to the rough country switch are blue, white and black. I've tried to wire up the switch but haven't had much luck so far. Anybody converted their harness to this type of switch and if so what connections did you make? Below is the switch I want to change to. It will be either the lighted switch or just the simple non lighted switch with two prongs on the back.

How do you order Totron bars, do you have to call? I keep looking at their site on my phone thinking something is just hidden from mobile devices but got on the computer and didnt see add to cart or anything

    • Length/amount of data capture will be important to consider, sifting through 5 minutes of a data log can be enormous when it is stored in milliseconds. Being able to find the 'event' let alone decipher it.   Presumably the driver would notice something and hit a button to capture the 'window' of data. That window has to be large enough for the operator to recognize the event and react accordingly.    The data has to be able to be retrieved easily.   The data has to be able to be understood. Which is the biggest challenge, dealer techs won't even know what most of it is and would likely not even look at it if an owner brought it to them. Meaning the owner, the least educated/qualified, trying to understand it.    How will the data be presented? Could specific PIDs be selected and a timelapse graph be watched? How will a specific value be noted as abnormal? Additionally, a good data logger would be able to 'learn' normal values for a specific vehicle and flag abnormalities automatically. It could in theory watch parameters degrade over time and suggest maintenance as needed. (If the MAF reading begins tapering off for a given set of other readings - MAP, throttle position, Ambient, etc.. a flag to check air filter.) With the amount of data available, a device (really the vehicle rather than an additional accessory) should be able to do more than issue a DTC. It should be able to run the full diagnostic suite automatically and present a solution rather than a code. (It's not the 90's anymore). The technology is available for the vehicle to not just say "P0087", it should know low fuel pressure, check other PIDs to narrow down the problem itself, and determine if it is a lift pump, high pressure pump, regulator, leak in the fuel line, clogged filter, etc. Even if it can't narrow it down, it should be able to guide the user to the likely problems.   This would be a major problem for dealer service departments, which are the manufacturers customers it is in their collective best interest to NOT have this available to the consumer.   Further, if the owner is going to be the primary consumer of the data, it's got to be at a consumer price point vs. dealer only specialty tool price.   This group is more 'involved' in their vehicle than general public/consumer and will have knowledge, experience, needs and desires that are quite different from the market at large.   
    • I put the prof up. If you read what I posted. You can see that housing, cars and income are in line with the era we were talking about. It’s harder in some places easier in others. Let’s agree to disagree and put this back on track, OK? We both are pretty stubborn and hard headed. But I bring receipts. If you wish I will not respond to you in the future. 
    • Lets see if I can sum up two pages of nothing useful.    You want to refute your own governments data of the "Purchasing Power" Index FOR THE ENTIRE USA and its territories replacing it with the experience of a single family and its business and label that reality?  Then pound on that for a week hoping it will find traction?    Stan, I've told you several times. I don't do irrational. There are more people in the USA than your family.    I'm pretty sure this tread is so blown up. I'll give you a few days or months if need be to post yourself silent then I'll see if I can find enough parts of the train to reassemble it. 
    • Facebook groups hate VSE, poor customer service; their responses to criticisms are pretty poor for a reputable company. I'm not a customer, haven't bought anything from them, but how they handle themselves on social media is a definite "No" for me.
