    They're a good quality light, but for the brightness you get with their prices, you can get a brighter bar.

    Stock is low right now but more coming in all the time.
    Sell them like crazy on Pirate and JK owners.
    No complaints yet.

    So I was thinking of ordering a N-Fab Light Bar and some sort of 30" LED light bar...I am not really looking at cutting my bumper at the moment to use the Rigid SR mounting brackets and 30" light. I was thinking of taking the light bar to my friends fab shop and having him mod it so I can use the tube clamps they offer...has anyone done that to their N-Fab or other companies light bar?

    I finely finished up some videos of my Rigid Industry Duallys and SR-Series 20." The videos are a little boring, but you can see the output pretty well.

    Hi Titus,
    I responded to your inquiry, and we carry the CREE light bars, not the epistars any longer as they are being phased out and replaced by the CREE line up.
    The Cree lights in a 6" put out 2880 lumens, are fully rebuildable, with a replaceable polycarb lens, side exit pigtail, and ip67 rated.

    thanks
    chris

    So just drove out to utopia. And had some old KC daylighters. They did alright in comparison to my stock headlights. But I literally thought they were out farther than necessary, more of a pencil beam.
    Thinking of a okled 20"
    Good for Texas country road driving?

    So u replaced your stock fogs with the duallys or am I seeing it wrong. If so was it a plug and play style setup or not so much

    The stock fog lights were not going to fit in my new bumper. The Bumper was made so that the Duallys would fit. I didn't do the install myself but I do know that it is relatively straight forward, because you wire them directly into your fog light wiring. Also because the draw is low you dont have to worry about messing with the fueses or relays.

    So jealous! I want your roof rack! How do you like the light bar versus the off road lights? I'm debating doing the same type of setup...

    You should seriously see about getting your brother to make more of these.

    Yeah, with me not being in specific types of off roading variations I think I'll go with both as well.
