Looks almost "low profile" compared to others that seems to look like police light bars on trucks.

Wow have they gotten really popular around my house geez. Seen a new white Z71 with roof mount light bar 50" look like and they put quad led pods in the rear bumper step. I should have taken pictures.

I don't like it sticking way up on the roof. Its right on top just right above the wind shield. Has anyone but LED lights on the bumper or right under the bumper?

I had custom headlights made with rigid diffused d2s in the high beams. 79e37d036faf9ca876c7e6830247ebba.jpg

For light bars behind the grille, has anyone considered using the Rigid Industries Cradle mount for a 30" bar? It looks like they are suppose to be mounted vertically but I don't see why it couldn't be mounted horizontally. This is what I'm talking about: http://www.rigidindustries.com/mounting-options/43010

 

The slots in this cradle mount could line up with the cross bracing in front of the Radiator. Only thing is I don't know how tall this mount is... Might not be enough room between the grille and the cross brace for it.

Added my bar today. The Grill on the High Country was easy to pull. 4 10mm bolts on the top, and then just pull the tabs up and out.

I used eBay pods. They costed me $80 for all four of them. The bracket is from Rigid Industries. I didn't see the Point in paying Rigid over $400 for the same lights. I have had both on previous vehicles and there is no difference. My cheap eBay lights have lasted just as long as Rigid's. Hope that helps.

The output is nowhere near the same.

Is there an ideal angle or adjustment to these? Right now, my spot light from the light bar is hitting the tree tops, so I know I have to angle the light bar down, just not sure how much? Should I park the truck a couple hundred feet back of a large wall and aim that way?

I would say that's the best way to align it.

I'll do my best to snap some in the next few days. I turned the light on tonight while going thru a forest preserve and it lit everything. Very happy with it

Just an observation, that light bar is mounted blocking the airflow over your oil (trans?) cooler.

Looks like a PS cooler. Not needed for those of us with electric PS..... :D

    • Yea that's pretty normal to be off a few degrees.  Usually 2-4 degrees from say a weather app or thermometer.  
    • I just replaced the ambient air temperature sensor.  Easy as pie. I simply had to remove about 10-12 clips on the plastic cover over the radiator and remove two T-10 torx screws on the hood release lever to liberate the cover (Amazingly, none of the clips broke.  All came out and went back in with zero problems). Once the cover was removed, the temp sensor is easily accessible. The sensor cable snakes through a few guides and can be pulled out for even easier access to the sensor. I was able to work the sensor out of the mounting hole.  There is a red sliding catch on the plug that must be pulled back to disconnect the cable.  The plug was quite tight.  I had to use a screwdriver to pry it out. I plugged in the new sensor ($6.45 from RockAuto), snapped it into the mounting hole and re-snaked the cable. I put the radiator cover back on and reattached the lever arm to the hood release.  All done!     I started up my Suburban.  The temperature read 82 °F. Other thermometers at my house read 80 °F.  Close enough.  It might be reading high as my vehicle was sitting in the sun.
    • Remember when you were 50 and they called you Old Man?
    • That one looks decent for the price   BUT..I want something that also supports OBDI/1.5. A lot of the prosumer-grade scanners don't have legacy support in order to keep costs low. I believe the Autel does if you go higher end with them.   For fun, I reached out to a local Snap-On rep because I was interested in the 2600. $1895 MSRP, says he can do $1595. That's still a lot, but then again, that's not a horrible discount for just asking out of the blue. Could probably do better if I was a regular buying off his truck, but I'm not.   Not sure if I mentioned but I didn't realize with USED scanners from Snap On that you need to make sure a) the serial number isn't flagged as stolen. On the newer ones, SnapOn can remotely disable the device if it's flagged in their system. And, customer service can tell you if it is, if you're thinking about buying used. B) Make sure it's paid off. If the seller still owes money to the truck or if they financed through Snap On, the device can be remotely disabled until the balance is paid. It's less clear if SnapOn will tell you if a balance is still owed; I didn't make it that far with the used model I was considering. I did read that SnapOn has no way of tracking any "truck financing" deals between the SnapOn rep and buyer, only if they financed through corporate. So there's that extra caution needed.   Still waffling on whether I go with a ~$500ish Autel/TopDon or spend bigger money. The value seems to be in the prosumer brands. I'm not giving them enough credit TBH, actual production repair shops use them daily BUT I'm still allergic to certain kinds of underdog products trying to unseat American companies with solid reputations. SnapOn's scanner isn't wholly made in the US, but it is assembled here and they have US support and probably the most proven/ robust legacy support.   Something to think about. Value, or principles? There's a $1k difference.
    • I'm thankful to live where we don't have extreme weather. We might all be blown to smithereens when Mt. Rainier goes, but 80 is warm enough in the summer and I can generally count the number of hard freezes in the winter on one hand. The cars here don't rust and they don't get sun-baked, either.   We have finished off many of our average 52 days of "clear/sunny" weather, though. Sunsets are coming earlier, the nights are a little cooler. It's right around the first week of September when we get our first warning that summer is coming to a close with overcast skies and the start of "hoodie weather" temperatures during the cooler parts of the day. By October, it's usually time to ditch the shorts. By November, it's mostly raining.
