    It's an option in the back of my mind. Wait time for Pelfrey is supposedly about 12 weeks right now though. We'll see how v1.2 on this tire gate goes.

    I'm going CBI front and rear only because I know they've been building 2nd Gen bumpers for a long time and have their design down and QC is better than average.


    Need to jump on my CVT tent now though before they end the free shipping deal on the 1st.

    So many toys, so little time.

    It's about a lot more than brightness.

    Case hardness
    Wire quality
    Lens durability
    Weather seal
    Made in USA


    Some of us put reliability before how cheap we can get shit.

    Oh you can tell the difference...Rigid's or nothing. PLUS USA made product, no need to worry about made in china bullshit like all the group buys that have happened either tons of people got burned on that one or I should say left in the dark! I'd like to see this "puddle" that destroyed a set of rigids. Have you seen their demo on how indestructible these things are?

    Lets just put it this way, the Rigid's are what the special forces are using on their indigenous up-armored vehicles. They are Infrared for driving on night vision...something that is tested and proven. I'll stick with Rigid's and support 'MERICA. :oldglory:

    My rule...do a quality HID retrofit before LEDS or any other aftermarket offroad lighting. They'll see far more use and provide better functionality both on road and off.

    At the end of the day, I will buy Rigid and support the US economy.

    I have ~50k lumens coming from them right now. Will be doing the Retro On the headlights, and getting Some 240's for the bumper. Plans to satin wrap the hood of the truck now also. Might be a Plasti Dip Clear satin. Not sure yet.

    Still need to assess the D2's, rock lights, wheel well lights, camper shell light too. Debating on the reverse lights since I still am looking at HCRB's.
