    I agree and can sympathize, my T100 has stock Halogens in cloudy stock plastic covers. On dark roads or when driving through my neighborhood late at night (dark streets, lots of cats out running around) I normally click-on my off-road lights. If I drove that truck at night more I’d upgrade the headlights.

    No, My truck has lights. There's no big open area's here where I'd need a flag anyway.

    Come on guys... surely Meso will develop a set in selective yellow in conjunction with KC or BD, build in a quick release and maybe a strobe feature for desert dust. Maybe it could be an option on the third brake light upgrade. Hey... now that I said it out loud, it might not be a bad idea... Meso?
    Hey, let’s revisit the curb feeler idea. That could be a valuable rock avoidance tool. Put all that on your rig with a set of Raptor lights and you will look like the mother ship from Zeta Reticuli is cruising for some people to abduct.

    Hey, you gave me an idea.......

    Rename the LED curb feelers to LED Rock Finders. Tie them to a 4 LED indicator panel to be mounted in the cab. Each of the 4 LED will match a wheel position. When the Rock Finder makes contact with a rock, it will illuminate the matching wheel location light on the dash board.

    But being seen out in the dunes in the land of jackass rzr riders is probably the smartest move you can make.

    Agreed. Having been to Pismo and Glamis many times I know you’re right. The SxS kamakazis are real.

    Taken out of context, this sentence could mean any number of things. There’s a joke in there somewhere.

    Exactly .0003% of Tacos will find themselves in this situation. I am of the impression we are talking mostly about street trucks here and the use of a 6' glowing dildo.

    Off road, sure, they make great sense. If I ran my SxS around others I'd have one for sure. Same for my truck. But on the street, naw.

    Most of us arent talking shit about when they're used where they're needed. Heck, there are places at my job where it's a government mandate for vehicles to be using a whip.

    I'm talking shit about the guys that use them to go to the grocery store. When our vehicles leave company property the whips get stowed in the cab or the bed. I'm sure y'all can do that too.
