    Gives you a false confidence in your otherwise poor winching technique.

    Here you go man. It's actually an innovative idea.

    Unfortunately their marketing ploys may cause harm to somebody later on.
    I see it as a "dumbing down" to something that should be seriously addressed.
    But, anybody can buy a winch, attach whatever they want on it, go out and tear shit up, and prolly come home safe regardless. They are fairly new yet, time will tell how well they get used and the results thereof.

    Install the cheap Blitzpro led light bars ($10) I got last year.

    Not really a fan of the beam pattern... the flood pattern disperses the light too much for what I want and doesn't really concentrate anything in front of the truck. But it's fine for now. Eventually I will get spot/driving lights.

    And yes, the driver's side light is messing with my OCD

    I have an extra pair on my work bench... was going to use them as back up lights but I don't think this beam pattern would work for that.

    I already ran a bead of silicone between the housing and lens as well as the grommet where the lead and ground wires exit.

    If only I had your address....

    Yeah, I'm going to mock them up on the rear to see if I like them.

    If not I'll send them your way... wanna trade for that aluminum front bumper?

    I wonder if he dislikes them more than I dislike 5100s.


    Not as crooked as the headlight held on with zip ties.

    Franken Fab at its finest. @Blackdawg

    seemed like the majority of the passenger front had some sort of ziptie holding it square/ in line
