    Can't you adjust the beam pattern on LightForces? by twisting something? or no matter it is still a spot or spotish beam?

    Thanks for answering the questions! :)

    No they are adjustable by twisting.

    but the len's are so freakin huge that when you untwist em a bit i personally feel like they are too loose..so i just leave them on spot. I think on the LF170s this feature would be much more usable.

    you bet man!

    See your in Anchorage..i was born there :cool:

    Tube sliders fit in with the lines of the truck better IMO. Haha. They might work on a 2nd gen tho. Especially if it had those funky looking UCAs from DSM that are made from angle iron. :D
