    Hence why every accessory light i need lights for is the KC ones for rock lights and his top picks for the fogs and other lights. Ask a bunch of questions he's a great help!!! I like his in depth answers about the beam patterns and take his suggestions for things like ditch lights and light bars as a probably the best answer you'll get. He also has one now for the aux sae/dot high beam lights that are available.

    Those shark bite fittings work great if you want to DIY. I’ve got a crimp tool you can borrow if your want to use crimp rings.

    Thanks man, none of the sharkbite fittings worked, ended up getting a brass union and crimped it. $200 in pex crimping tools later I'm setup for when the next one springs a pin hole leak!

    That's a lot of connections there. Just making sure it wasn't the original grey stuff. That's where PEX really got it's bad rap from. If done correctly, like with any plumbing really, it's far superior.

    The oldest it could possibly be is 15yrs old.
    Yea, it popped right between the joints. Lucky it didn't burst inside a wall.

    don’t want to speak out of turn, but I think for $3,000 he’d throw in an AR and 60 rounds of ammo...
