    At first I was put off too. I bought their Hyperion bar because i love the way it looks. It was also their most popular bar and most expensive. They have a warranty though so I trusted it. I don't have experience with any of their other lights but I hope to soon. They have been awesome and always reply to any questions I have within the hour. I'll definitely be trusting them for my ditch lights, fog light pods, camp lights, and above roof rack light bar.

    Going night wheeling with @logcabinwc subday. I'll post output

    I'd honestly trust any of their bars after the quality and service I've gotten from this one. It is way brighter than I thought it would be.

    Also, whenever I bring up an idea for a new light, they are willing to look into a way to manufacture it. I asked for a good camp light to mount on the sides of my roof rack today and within 10 minutes they had the light for me and said if I was willing to wait a bit that they would start looking into building it. Could not say enough good about the service I've gotten.

    How exactly did the cab mount chop give you the clearance? I'm kinda new to this so this is confusing to me

    When I first got on here I had no clue what it was and kept trying to find info on it but there isn't much.

    The cab mount is a part of the frame in the wheel well that the tires rub against if you have 33s or larger. It wasn't horrible, but it was enough to irritate me when I turned hard. Off-road it was a nightmare.

    What you do is take a grinder, and cut off a 4-5 inch portion of the part where it is rubbing and weld a new piece on. BAMF sells the pieces pre cut but if you get it done at a fab shop, they will cut one for you. Then they just paint it black so it doesn't rust and you've got tires that don't rub. Most shops charge about 150 to do it.

    It's possible but may be a while. Also I'm thinking I might want to buy new. I'll have to talk to him more though.

    Icon deal is back on the table. Seller just had an issue he had to deal with and wasn't checking TW. Can't blame him.

    Also may be putting in an order with Relentless for some 2 piece sliders really soon. Just depends on the kind of payment plan he lets me work out.

    These will look so sick on my truck :drool::drool::drool:

    Went up in the hills with my roommates tonight because it was supposed to rain. Unfortunately we barely even got drizzled on.


    Found an old spot where people would stop and shoot. What a mess. Broken glass and trash everywhere. Hopefully planning a TW event to go clean up.
