Rock Lights?


Recommended Posts

Has anyone installed a rock light kit? I would really appreciate seeing some pictures. I'm considering the Rigid Industries kit in cool white.

 

Thanks

Hello I have a rock light kit installed and love it. I only have 4 so 1 in each wheel well and they are super bright. They light up the top of the wheels along with the inner part of the wheel well and a good portion of the ground around the wheels

Awesome! Which kit did you go with? How did you decide to trigger the lights? Have any pictures of them on at night?

I ended up going with c4 offroad lights and wired them all up to a junction that is under the hood of the truck and then after the 4 lights were plugged into the junction ran power from the battery to the junction. I then ran the switch from the junction through the firewall on the drivers side. I am mounting the switch in the pannel up by the homelink buttons.

Hey was wondering if you ever got those rock lights installed?

Ordered them, received them, but haven't installed them yet. I will definitely upload some pics when I do :)

Sounds good and I'm looking forward to seeing pics. What company did you end up going with?

Wow you are doing it right. Those are some bright lights they are going to look great when all mounted up

Thanks, I figured if I did it right I'd only have to do it once. Plus I'm a huge fan of both rigid and baja designs products.

    • Most say the oil temperature needs to above the boiling point of water to rid it of moisture and long enough to dry it. Many think that is about a hour at 212 F or more. Those people have never line dried cloths in a Midwest winter. Leave a pan of water sitting on the counter and eventually it all evaporates. So heat drives the time it takes. Water in oil under 175 F, the Nitration initiation temperature, is a minimum then for temperature and samples I've done that use Karl Fisher method say about a hour (in a healthy well tuned motor) over 175 F will dry it to under 800 ppm. Low enough to not be much of a factor. Motors with weak rings will take longer and the colder the air temperature the longer it takes.   On a cold motor there is also the condensation temperature. Blowby gases that contain moisture are subject to that cold cylinder wall, like sweat on a glass of ice tea. But also subject to the Law of Partial Pressures. Wear studies by GM and the DOD  indicate wear is a real issue below 85 F and a concern to 140 F but doesn't become a minimal factor until about 160 F. You know this intuitively when you see water vapor exit the exhaust pipe until the system gets above the dew point. It isn't magic, it's physics and it fascinates me. I know you didn't ask but....I over share sometimes. 😉    You keep the Camaro's high and tight.  
    • Move further away.   Benefit of living out - none of our cars get short cycled, plenty of warm up time.   Curious how much time/temperature it takes to drive moisture/condensation out of the engine?
    • Switch a a 100% synthetic trans fluid, Amsoil works for me.
    • First of all sorry, I know there are a ton of transmission temperature threads...   My truck is a 2025 LZ0 High (10l89 10-speed) High Country with NHT max trailering package. The NHT package is supposed to have "enhanced cooling."   Normally the trans temp sits around 200. It seems like with any real stress it quickly jumps into the 220s (for example climbing a grade unloaded at lower speeds). I haven't towed much with this truck, but I'm concerned if it gets this hot unloaded.    I've tried a few different things to keep the temps down (tow/haul mode, sport mode, low range when that makes sense) and nothing seems to affect it.    I'm curious if others are the same behavior or if anyone has found techniques to keep the temps down. It seems like it just can't handle reduced airflow at lower speeds, even with relatively light loading.    Thanks!      
    • I'm at 105,000 miles on my baby Duramax. No issues yet. I hit 31 mpg's traveling through hilly terrain to a project in Colorado. I will buy another 3.0. I'm not concerned.
