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

I had a good look at the Denali the opther day and I dont think a behind the grill light is going to work, and the painted bumpers make modifying a bitch.

 

I'm going to consider the Rigid 50" curve over the windshield.....dont really want to make it look that agressive, but I want lighting for backroads.

I was thinking about this also. Probably go with a cheaper brand though. I was worried about wind noises; anyone have any experience with the big 50"

I'd like to see this. I'd like to stay at OEM+ looking as possible but would love some extra bad ass lighting .... and maybe strobes just for fun.

Not on a nice, clean GM truck. lol...but I had a 50" on my JK Rubicon....noise wasn't so much an issue....although there were no weird whistles or anything. The 50" Rigid threw an amazing amount of light though. I am also considering the Baja Designs 52...but it is more $$$$ than the Rigid.

 

A friend has one on his Raptor and loves it.....incredible capacity our of the BD stuff.

 

(AEV Rubicon with a hemi and 38's, so noise wasnt a problem)

It's virtually impossible to get an accurate representation of a light's output if the camera is facing the source. Might look cool but offers no real comparable information.

 

The best proof of brightness is to park about 50' from a plain wall (painted white if possible) and take pics of the wall, first with only the headlights on and then again with only the aftermarket lights on. And don't forget to mention if your headlights are stock, 35w HID, or 55w HID in the picture posting.

The rigids are nice but I'm not going to drop that cash for something I might only use once every other month. Hunting season is a different story but that's not all year around. I will be getting a curved 50" if I decide to but still up in the air.

 

I'm only running 33's. I hear a lot of jeep owners complaining about humming and whistling from these bars. Not too sure if that's just because its open design or what.

MIne wasnt bad at all, but I used the Poison Spider mounts, maybe other mounts were different. Either way, on a box with an engine, you cant expect much. My biggest concern about the mounts for these trucks is the effect on the "triple doors seals" where the mounts sit underneath and if they would create more noise through the seals.

 

I expect to use the light all the time when driving in northern regions and logging roads for Moose and Elk etc...so I dont mind paying for the really good stuff like Rigid or BD. That being said, it's my company truck so it's also a tax deduction. ;)

      Clunk when putting truck into drive and reverse.

      By Matt Parker · Posted

      I have a 2000 Silverado 1500 LS, whenever I put it into reverse and also in drive it clunks, the truck also feels sluggish when driving. Any advice/ideas ?

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Missing pieces of the Assembly   Detergency vs Solvency   Not the same thing. Detergency is the mechanism that surrounds solid particulates preventing amalgamation. Usually accompanied by a Dispersant whose job it is to keep those encapsulated particles in Suspension. Solvency keeps things that can be dissolved in solution.    Salt is a solid that can be dissolved. Pepper is a solid that cannot be dissolved. A detergent/dispersant is effective on pepper but a solvent is more effective on salt. As long as the solids remain in either state, dissolved or dispersed then they can be be removed with the oil upon change.    How many wranglers does it take to herd cats? Depends on how many cats your herding. How much sponge does it take to soak up water? How much water is there to soak up? Point is most oil blends start with some herding ability and next to zero sponge and recently even fewer wranglers are being sent to do the same job.    So you start with a dozen cowboys and zero cows but at the drive progresses you pick up cows along the way, but not cowboys. At some point you have more cows that the wranglers can handle and some leave the herd. Deposits. And the API has an acceptable number of cows they are willing to let loose. In the ideal world zero is the right number for he rancher but to the butcher....a few lost is fine. This cow is beat to death. Let's move on....   Solvency isn't something oils on the Walmart shelf care about AT ALL. Problem is, you motor does. Fuels driven varnish sticks rings and only a solvent can keep them in check. The bet is that the solids driven portion that plug the expander rings and the oil drain backs and VVT screens and AFM screens will be an issue long before varnish is. Not that it wont be but if they market well enough the consumer can be kept ignorant enough to either believe it is "normal" (A quart in 1 or 2K is normal) OR is kept at bay longer than the first owner is likely to hang on to the unit. Solvency cost money.    Now the OEM's have John Q. Public buffaloed into the belief that the number cows accumulated along the trail is a known and predictable CONSTANT. It isn't. Nor is the rate at which they crossed paths with them. Only the number of wrangles is constant. Or was. Each new generation of oil sees fewer and fewer of them.    So what happens when the number of cowboys is lower (lower TBN) with each seasons trail but the trial is longer (OCI) and the number of cows along that trail continues increase? (Conditions that promote deposits).    For awhile the blenders were on to something. Better bases are harder to degrade (fewer cows) but that was overtaken by a longer trail (OCI) and improved breeding (More cows) while continuing to reduce the cowboy staffing levels (TBN/Aniline #).    Marketing has been successful. We've fired most of the staff, cows breed line bunnies, the trail is ten times longer and we've convinced the boss his ranch is in better shape that it ever was.    That kids is just the cleaning side. The side few pay attention to.
