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

How well do those LED headlight bulbs work compared to stock? Always wondered about those

What Rigid lights did you go with? And what Led bar did you get?

They are much better then stock. When I installed them there was no cut offine at the top and it was blinding to people I was behind. No one flashed highs at me but I could tell they were too scattered.

Looks like you have similar setup to me minus the cubes for the fogs. How much light does the chrome grill kill? Also curious how you did your cubes it looks super clean

Sorry for the delay on getting up some pictures, I just have been super busy and haven't taken any pics yet.

 

The new Fogs put out great light! I have one Fog and one Spot cube on each side, they are also point just slightly out to provide great lighting on the sides.

 

My center light is a 30" Combo bar, this fills in the center lighting from my fogs. All together the light output is great!

wait so the new LEDS are pissing people off or the factory halogens? Mind taking some pictures up against a wall or something?

The LEDS were. I had to turn the bulbs over and now there is a distinct cutoff line. I have a picture of them before. I will try and get another one of the after tonight This is about 15-20' from the fence.

OK that makes sense. I assume they are flat with the led just on one side?

Yes they are like a half moon on one side with no leds on that side. This is how they look now. e09390510585c9c74c2ed863e1745101.jpg]52be605d71b468b1211493436bcdce80.jpg

And this is with the light bar.

Well since I'm deployed yet again this is when I buy the goodies... I now have the following Rigid Industries goodies waiting for me at home: 54" RDS light bar, flush mount Back Up light kit, pair of flush mount diffused D2's (ride my ass again and there will be no need to brake check you because you'll now be blind), pair of D2 HD hyperspots and pair of D2 HD driving lights, I'm gonna mount these where the stock fog lights are.

Not that my comment has anything to do with what you said about the LED's but I saw your location and I used to live in Sierra Vista. It's good to see someone from where I used to live. I like what you've done with the exhaust on your truck too.

Got my 30" led bar installed last week, works wonderfully, I found a wireless on off relay all wired up already on ebay for 50$ and it works perfectly, all i had to do was hook it to the battery and ground and it light right up no complex wiring switches or tapping into anything.

 

Night pics to come later

So that switch has a dimmer function? How well does it work? Just curious. Also, couldn't tell from the Ebay description, but can you turn the light on while the engine is off?

      Roll up bed cover experiences

      By StingerZ16 · Posted

      I started with a folding cover by BAK PAC on my 2500. It went bad after close to 5 years. Bent and vinyl coming loose. Contacted BAK and they gave me a very good discount on a Revolver. Had it a number of years. Mostly outdoor storage. Some garage storage. Vinyl started to come loose. Still under warranty so they replaced to cover. Sold the 2500, bought the 1500 and got another revolver for it. Had it a couple years now and no issues. I store it indoors. Got a bit of discount when buying it as well. If you are seeing problems, contact BAK or real truck and let them know. Customer service was pretty good. But I think they changed their warranty.

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I agree, there is no one answer fits all as every rig is different, one may be pulling some little aluminum fishing boat while another is towing a monstrosity that weighs a lot and hopefully the owner if the rig has some prior experience to know what drive mode they should choose.    It also struck me and this is from watching a few of those boat ramp escapades videos in the past, Ford being one of the vehicles that has the auto front axle hubs and sure enough its found out that one hub has crapped out and won't engage and may not have manual hubs to even select on both sides so they are on the boat ramp stuck with no four wheel drive and spinning .... they flat out need a tow to get up the ramp and deal with the vehicles new found issues. That can happen to all brands of pickup, finding out either four wheel drive or 4 low isn't working right at the time its needed it to work as some electronic crap has failed.

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Its possible you never had the joy of the crappy boat launches we tend to have around here or really some of them are just grades down to the river if its a river scenario and the conditions change all the time with the river levels and silt deposits. Some of the lakes we went to years ago, there was no such thing as a cement pad that went down into the water that the trailer stayed on, it was gravel maybe up to the water line and then duck crap much beyond that so sinking the boat tires into mud. Of course some of the more established lakes had a cement bar type boat ramp but sometimes it was covered in green slime closer and certainly within the water and a two wheel drive had all sorts of fun if one had to touch that slime with the rear tires.    A neighbor of mine had made a comment years back with his chev truck that was probably about the same year as yours but a half ton extended cab 4x4 and he a a fiberglass boat with an inboard so it wasn't a feather weight and he had gone out to one of the large popular lakes in the area and don't ask me how this happened but he was in two wheel drive as he figured he didn't require four wheel drive for that boat ramp and somehow upon pulling the boat out he twisted one of his drive axles. I suspect it must have spun and then grabbed on the cement ramp and shocked it to the degree of twisting it. He would have had the standard 8.5 or whatever it was axle housing as the 9.5 ring gear like my truck has also has larger drive axles as far as I know. Anyway he was feeling a vibration driving home and had it checked out and a shop found that the tire/hub was wobbling because of the axle had twisted so in went a new drive axle. After that bad experience he said he made sure to put it into four wheel drive to lower the stress on the rear axle. Of course that is where an HD truck can handle a lot more stress and no doubt these newer half tons with their larger ring gears probably have larger drive axles as well to match vs back in the day.

      Desirable - as in does someone WANT one, aspire to have one. Could reasonably buy any car they want and CHOOSE these instead.    I didn't watch the video, why did they win?

      The use of absolutes like "always" to describe gear selection, and giving free advice at a boat ramp sounds like a recipe for disaster. It's a boat ramp, not a farm, for starters.   IMO gear selection should depend on the obstacle. If low range is working and this is a slower speed, controlled ordeal, I'd keep using that.
