    Yeah but when you factor in performance of the lighting nothing beats diode. And that's not even hyperbole. There's a thousand comparison videos and tests out there from third parties that just show they have a better understanding of color temperature and actual usable light patterns and pretty much everyone else in the market.

    I will concede that on the very very high end. Rigid use alien technology in their lights but you're talking $4,000 light bars so f that noise

    So they were extra extra hand me downs.

    A printers eye notices certain details. (It's a curse)
    Yesterday I couldn't help but notice that the dent on the back of @pearing truck looks a lot like Jerry Springer.

    Late to the party on that one.
    Bought that 50L Anker dual zone.
    Normally $900+.
    Now discontinued, I grabbed a refurbished Amzn one for $500.
    :rofl:
    (I waited quite awhile for a refurbished one to show up.)

    Saving money for more mods...

    Old office chairs with telescoping seats work great for winches, transfer cases and now bumper hoists.

    Probably going to put it on tonight.
    Need to pull the control box from the winch and relocate.

    I found a good mix of decent trails, mud, and some tight and scratchy to make you proud.
    Note to self: read the text at the dropped pin on the map. :anonymous:

    Looks much better than the zip tied plastic pieces.

    Thanks!

    Those 'custom zip-tiez' can take a hit, man.

    Considering I needed to loosen the front bolts on the engine skid,... and use a couple C-clamps to get the bottom holes of the bumper to line up with the frame.
    :rofl:
