    Those look just like my GE Nighthawks without the branding.

    The nighthawks are awesome, but one now has some moisture in it :(

    I was considering those, they look nice and GE has a good warranty. I thought they covered them for like 5 years?

    Damn! I'd still give them a call and see if they're willing to give you a deal on one or something. Usually because these are 100% sealed because of the non changeable LED there is zero reason for them to fog.

    Oh okay, cause a single tire after you've worn the other three down is a pretty massive waste of money haha

    Nice.

    Getting the settings can be a pain, but we'll worth it.

    I didn't believe you were either. Hell if you come down to AZ you can run a set of tires all the way from mud terrain to track slick and keep on going till you're on the cords haha. People down here run around on bald ass tires cause it doesn't rain often then act all surprised when theres a 90 car pileup after it sprinkles. And then have the nerve to change one tire.

    I went the dual battery route. 2-group 24F AGMs. One in the stock location and one in the bed.

    There isn't enough room in the stock location. And in many of our trucks there isn't enough room anywhere under the hood for a 2nd one.

    Dick Cepek also has a rebate that goes till May, I dont know if theyre stackable, but I'm going to try, making it 499$.

    Most the reviews Ive read have been positive also, so thats a plus.

    I have dual batteries in the stock location. Columbia Overland makes the kit, although I believe they shut down their business.
