    they’re incredibly bright and durable. 10/10 would recommend. They perform like a light that should cost $100/ea

    Thanks for the info. I put similar unicorn ones on the crawler recently. Yours look nice and bright so I thought I'd ask.

    Let me rephrase. They are excellent tires in ALL aspects but tread life isn’t something I care much about & I am sure they will not last as long as all-terrain’s or more mild tires

    Right if the can make it a year or two I’m all for it. I’m paying close to 2500.00 for mtrs which imho are the best tires I’ve ever ran but it’s a hard pill to swallow Every year - two years replacing them.

    Installed the best rated cheapest LED light pods I could find on the ye old Amazon. $30 for 84w pods that crank out 8400lumen, waterproof, and claim a 2 year warranty.... ok, I took the bait. Installed them today, so far so good. Quality seems ok, easy install with 2 leg wiring harness on a relay. I camp and trail ride a lot, and I don't own a garage, so my exterior accessories get a lot of abuse and exposure to the elements. We shall see what these are all about. Here is the link to the same pods.

    TygerAuto is the brand. Read lots of good reviews on them. Most people seem to go with their tri fold version but I didn’t like the idea of losing that much bed space so I went with the roll up version. Was cheaper than the tri fold as well

    I need to figure out where my MOLLE gear disappeared to. But I did finally get some things mounted that I'd been waiting for warmer days to do. The Fire Extinguisher is the only mounted with bolts, and I do have a MOLLE extinguisher holder somewhere in the yawning cavern of my garage. Just need to find it.

    Just to update what else I added for noise suppression..

    Canopy reinstalled.

    I added foam and MLV to the back wall and transmission tunnel underneath the carpet.

    Denim fiber insulation behind the dashboard against the firewall in a few places I could reach, inside the B-Pillar, underneath the shift boot, and inside the voids behind the kick panels.

    Added 3M expanding foam to the upper B-Pillar void.

    Removed front fender liners and rolled up some MLV + Reflectix about 30" long and placed them inside fender, rearward against where the doorjamb meets the fender.

    Now I don't hear wind noise until 55-60mph and even then it is pretty faint, and it also heavily muted the exhaust note and resonance inside. Finally. Lots of work but the results are great. Feels like a different truck :)

    Edit: I didn't do great at documenting this whole process but here's a few pics. The last pic shows a pen pointing at the air dam that separates the area behind the fender from the door seal. Basically just a flimsy thin plastic veil and behind it is all the noise and airflow from the road. So I tried to put something there to block what I could from getting past it. It worked really well, maybe an alternative for the dcsb people who have door whistling problems lol.

    Too many to list.

    Sounds excessive. I've been thinking of doing my own. Why so much money?
