Ordered this light bar off eBay today. Price dropped $20 hopefully it's a decent bar. Also purchased the same wireless wiring harness as 6.2Sierra. Hopefully be in here in the next week!

For the price I'm sure that it wont be bad, but don't expect any long range pattern out of these. I have one mounted in the same spot as you, for around the same price, and the flood on it is ok........until I bought 2 10" Rigid industries lights. Boom! The light difference is unbelievable. Managed to pick them up used for $700 and spliced it together to run off of the wireless remote. If only I could show people in person the difference, unbelieveable. But for that price, I wouldn't feel ripped off man.

Yeah I agree. The price factor is a big for me, don't have the coin to dish out on a Rigid bar right now haha. I won't be using this bar heavily, just for hunting season in the next couple months and the occasional off road adventure. We'll see how it turns out! I'll be sure to post pictures. Next up will be the leveling kit and new tires!

Looks like the same company that makes the one that's on my quad. Thing puts off a ton of light for the cost and it's taken its fair share of tree branches and such. I don't necessarily need distance I just like to light up what's in front of me and boy does it do that

That's the same one I bought, I programmed my home link buttons with the remote. One button turns it on, the other off.

Gonna call tomorrow to setup an appt for next week for them to fix my door ding they made and do the paint work they are covering. Also gonna start the dreaded task of getting the vibrations fixed in my truck. Checked the lemon law for my state and it says three separate repair attempts. Here we go! [emoji53]

Made and varnished a wood rack for my VP fuel jugs. I feel safer transporting fuel back here, plus it frees up cargo space when not towing. And before anyone asks the local and KY state police do not enforce CARB regulations with respect to fuel containers.

I wanna see a pic of what you're fueling!

Reading his signature, I'm guessing it's a 94 Camaro…

I hope it doesn't break off the receiver and kill somebody riding a motorcycle!! It almost happened to me and my brother while riding back from Sturgis a few years ago. There was a small dip in the road along I-90 and we had been following a motorhome with one of those contraptions on it when it broke off and started skidding down the highway when it hit the dip. If we hadn't been in the hammer lane passing his ass it wouldn't have been pretty. He didn't even know it broke off because he just kept driving down the interstate. All it had on it was an ice chest and a bicycle. I'm guessing it was a lot lighter than your setup but it still broke off. Those trailer hitch receiver racks should be outlawed!!!!!!! It scares the $hit out of me just looking at it.

I'm not going to take this personal, I'm just assuming you're responding out of emotion from your near miss. My hitch carrier is a $200 dollar one bolted together with grade 8 bolts. It's not a harbor freight cheapie like you probably encountered. I also went beyond the instructions and welded it together. I'm also an AWS certified welding inspector and mechanical engineer. The 25 gallons of fuel (which is evenly distributed) is well within the manufacturer's rated capacity which is 500 lbs before I upgraded it. What you don't see in that pic because I fueling is I also run a safety chain between the handles of all the jugs and the frame. I plan to replace this with a 5' rod and lock.

 

Your time would be better spent worrying about what families tie to the roofs of their SUV's or at one of any countless home improvement centers where people either overload their vehicle or poorly secure their cargo. Or people on this forum running HID in reflector housings or regular halogen projectors. Now these are things that are totally inconsiderate of other's safety.
