    My buddy and I have 6 bars from Amazon seller DJI Offroad (me 2, him 4)
    He has discovered that the "breather" on the housing is not a real breather. Believe he drilled it out and added one of modified it to work as intended.

    Will find out for sure what he did.

    I honestly don't think anybody in here would ever be 'mad' or 'upset' about anything another member did with their truck.

    After all, we all love Tacos!!! ​

    Good to know thanks for the heads up I know it’s a gamble cheap lighting but if it works then it’s a solid win for when I need it.

    Your point still stands. Americans like to go to excess. But Aussies like their lights too.

    Nothing but truth. My diet has heavily involved venison lately as well. Lots of culling this year

    I hear ya man. When I first saw prices on light bars I about flipped out and in my mind said "Well scratch that idea, that's retarded expensive". Then I started looking at ditch lights after a trip down to the PINS when I ran over some drift wood that was just out of my lights view; thought i popped a tire :O. So even when I saw the price on ditch lights I at first couldn't get my head around their cost but my wife got them for me as a xmas gift which helped soften the blow but as soon as I got them installed and used them I realized the cost was worth every penny. The only other lights I want on my truck is something for the bed rack when setting up camp. After seeing @exportexp 's setup on the page before that's what i'll shoot for and shouldn't be too spendy.

    My b-day weekend offically starts NOW!!! :jellydance::kona::dancingbacon::broccoli::bananadance: :drunk: Ya'll have a great weekend. :wave:

    I bought thoes lights from the wish app for about $12 for the pair. I believe they are also available on Amazon for around the same price. Use a little silicon to make sure they are sealed up. Worth every penny. IMHO

    Edit: Also I put the Switch on the rack for convenience.
