DFW BS Thread : ********NEW MEET!! CHECK POST #1*******

Decent turn out. Better than most of our recent meets. @Suprajim54 and @Silverspool (in his miata) left before I took any pics. I know I missed a few other trucks also. Think it was something like 13-15 tacomas and a few tundra's.

Just because they hosted a meet doesnt change how I feel about their lights and some of their products or why I soon(when I stop being lazy) will no longer have any of their lights on my truck.

 

Why don’t you like em?

 

They dont match and blue and orange clips on his fenders

 

Simple answer is I feel their lights are over priced chinese products that you can buy for cheaper on Amazon and get the same quality and performance. I would rather spend more money for a higher quality light with better output than go through multiple sets of lower quality lights.

Its unique, You dont see many people rolling around with pointless orange and blue clips on their fenders.

 

I picked up some ditch light brackets and bed stiffeners while i was there. The crew was cool and the brkts look very nice

 

I'll keep running their ditch light brackets. I havent seen anything wrong with their bed stiffeners but I do like my ATH ones more, they have built in bottle openers! I'll likely never use them since I dont carry bottles on trips and also have a bottle opener built into my key fob.

 

Oh dang didnt know they made stiffeners

 

Depends on the product.

The mounts and hardware is all made in house, and they’re making product for other companies.

The lights are still Chinese, but I can buy several of them for the price of a Rigid. Given how often I use them, etc, there’s just no reason for me to spend $2000 on a light bar.

 

Saw your truck (spare tire and all) this morning pulling onto Stonebrook in Frisco from some side street. Drove right in front of you (or whomever was driving it) in the Tundra.

 

Makes sense, I haven’t had any issues and they’re good for what I use them for. I’ve heard they’re warranty is really good, maybe one day I’ll find out

 

It was good to meet some of you guys today. I’m glad to see these guys are now local and trying to make a better product at a good price point. Already got my ditch light brackets installed and mounted the lights I’ve been sitting on for a year.

 

Dang!!! you didn't play around!!!!

 

No way dude! That only took me about 30-45 minutes. I had already wired the truck for them, just had to put them on.

 

That was me driving going to help my mother with her tire issue. The glorious spare looks cute.

 

Got a closeup or five of how high the bracket sits above the hood level? Might throw mine on tomorrow... maybe.

 

I’ve got a 2nd Gen, so it’s going to be a little different than your 3rd gen. I think I over heard them say the 3rd gen is a little lower.

 

Thanks for the hospitality and nice meeting you and your crew today Jake

 

@cuda2k is in a second gen also so it would be the same.

 

You are correct, my mistake. I was thinking of one of the other gentleman I met today.

 

With as many 3rd Gens there were in the lot, it was easy to assume!

Debating if I want to commence a significant re-wring job on the truck this close to departing on my trip, or wait till I get back. Thanks for the photos either way!
