    Saw a thread about that a few days ago. Looks like LED and LED accessories aren’t cutting it anymore

    Lol, why not have the option though down the road?

    Because people are realizing that it is more economical down the road to get the better ones right off the bat instead of the cheaper ones that have issues a year down the road and don't have a warranty...

    I’ll be the first person to say their crap sucks. I ordered a rock light kit from them, and they sent them with extremely short wires and their solution to me was “mount the controller under the cab” lol

    My cali raised side shooters have not given me any issues in the year I've had them. I can buy 5 more pairs for the cost of the Rigids.

    Also, I passed on them when someone found the same faux grills on eBay from the same manufacturer they were ordering from

    Edit: for literally half the cost *$140/$280

    The frontrunner rack I have sits pretty tall and kindof screams for something like a light bar between the roof and the rack. 2 bars in the front seems overkill...I also wanted full hoops put on their center hoop bumper because gussets. :anonymous:

    Similar...Rigid probably gets theirs from the GOOD Chinese manufacturer.

    Eh... I would rather give my money to Baja that I know would back their product and if I had an issue with it would not hesitate to warranty it... I could buy something second hand someone, have an issue down the road, and they would warranty it no questions asked more than likely. I don't think I could say the same for the knock offs tbh... that and the light output is just way better.

    And when a company completely rips off another companies product and doesn't even care... it just kinda shows you what kind of company it is... (switch pro knock off)

    Yeah see I had your logic until I started buying rigid products. Lumen ratings mean nothing really. Chinese crap (Cali raised) can say “10,000 lumens” but will be 1/4 as bright as a rigid counterpart because of the optics rigid uses. Made in America, awesome warranty and stupid bright product.


    Not to mention your side shooters are a direct ripoff of rigid.

    It’s the same in the skate industry. There’s only a dozen or so wood shops that produce all several hundred deck brands out there. You can’t dislike the quality of brand A and not brand B because they are literally the same.

    I’m not saying everyone is using one place, but Chinese manufacturing is cheaper for many reasons...

    Ah, then get a lightbar for the roof rack and then just put the fill plate in the bumper. Then you may or may not have the option down the road...

    What do you mean by full hoops put on their center hoop?

    Center hoop bumper has gussets from center hoop to bumper, full hoop bumper does not. Strickly a looks thing, I doubt it would even add much more strength. My girlfriend say I just like to be difficult. :goingcrazy:

    They answered my reply in their bumper thread.

    They’re a manufacturing shop, not a fabrication shop. They’d love to do custom stuff, but don’t have enough people, etc.

    I’ll probably still get a bumper, but this adds more hassle to get what I want.

    Planned to buy one during 4th of July sale, couldnt make myself hit the pay button in the cart. Funny how the more I save the harder it is to spend.
