    Interesting. I've read different reviews on the internet and saw some people claim them to be 2600 but those were really old reviews. I figured they just changed the LEDs or something in the newer ones. Does that box have a rigid part number on it? I'm curious to see if it's the same as the ones I ordered.

    Hmm well now I'm not sure cause the box says all the Dually D2s are 2600 lumens whether it's wide, driving or diffusion lights.

    I'll have to either call up to 4wheelparts or check it out next time I'm up that way

    Yeah that's weird. I'm not too worried about it but their website does show 3030 lumens. Either way the pair will be brighter than my blitzpro bar. Hopefully the driving beam projects farther too.

    And that's the same part number that I ordered btw.

    Yeah I'm not either, when I get around to mounting em I'll probably give Rigid a call and see what's up with that. I figure the d2s and my LF240s, I'll be unstoppable on the road

    Yeah you'll have great distance with the LF and awesome spill/ditch lighting with the D2s. My retros do an awesome job lighting up ditches as is, so I'm looking for more light in front of the truck but I'll take more to the sides too lol.

    If you're really searching for light on the sides, your d2s will be good.. but you could always do Blackdawg's side mirror LED light install from his DIY thread

    Yeah I don't want It that bad haha. I am going to attempt to mount the D2s in a way that isn't just drilling into the bumper like I did with my other bar though. I want them on both sides of my front plate but I don't know how to do it just yet.

    Hmm yeah that looks to be the only place you can mount em. They won't fit in that slim cutout where the license plate is?

    I don't think so. Probably too tall to fit. I thought about buying the flush mount D2 and mount it in the bumper but I like the ability to adjust where the lights are aimed.

    Wait a second. Aren't you going to basic soon? I'll take that bumper off your hands of you want. I'll take real good care of it too :D

    Pshh yeah right :p
    I made sure to order it so it'd be ready before I left for basic.

    The steel was being cutout on the 23rd of last month so I'm feeling it being done soon :goingcrazy: AHHHHH

    Well I'm jelly. I want one so bad. Our alaska taco guys might do another group buy through brute force in December. Might get in on that but I doubt it. Hard to buy one when mine functions just fine lol.

    Yeah that's what I thought just the other day, I was like well maybe I don't need an Elite bumper-- I really don't rock crawl or wheel except for shitty forest roads... but then I remembered how badass it transforms our trucks and how useful it can be in a collision with another vehicle (at lower speeds) or a deer (at any speed really).

    I doubt it'd help with moose up in your neck of the woods, but it'd probably help a bit for impact crumpling

    Moose are so tall they tend to go over the hood and smash the windshield/roof so I don't think any bumper on my truck would help much lol.

    Yeah that's the one shitty thing about AK / certain parts of Canada. Lots of moose impacts/fatalities

    I'm not sure man. That is pretty weird. Like I said, I saw a lot of people reviewing them saying they were 2600. I have no clue. My only idea is they updated the LEDs and maybe you got an old batch?
