    my baja designs is made in the usa, you get what you pay for. The 51" bar baja makes puts out 30,000 lumens and is MSRP'd at $2,220.00

    Why would anybody believe a $500 dollar chinese bar would put out 21,000 lumens...And I understand not everybody including myself has the money or desire to buy those big super expensive bars but I just can't stand these dime a dozen cheap light bars coming out now with outrageous specifications that are just made up.

    End of rant haha

    Do you honestly believe that your 2200$ light bar doesnt come from china? Like Anthony said they all come from china. Go ahead and find me someone in the us that produces cree bulbs like that. It may have been assembled in the US but you know all the parts came from china. Are you just upset cause you spent 2200$ on a single light lmao? Maybe you are realizing that you could have achieved the same thing for a fraction of the cost?
    Your argument is similar to telling us we need to buy 200$ jeans when we could just buy 20$ jeans and accomplish the exact same thing.
    You have to realize that before all these kids came around throwing mommy and daddy'smoney at 2200$ lights we used to romp around the desert on a pair of KC lights and high beams and we did just fine. Hell ive got more dirt miles on a 100$ pair of kc's then you pprobably ever see in your lifetime.
    Not everyone has the luxury of spending that kind of money on 1 light. To be honest i havent spent 2200$ on my truck over the past 2 years and that includes gas. So for the rest of us the china lights are a great option. I ran one for awhile and have many friends who also run them with great success. Ive also had the opportunity to test the china lights side by side with the expensive lights and have seen a brighter output from the china lights on numerous occasions. Kinda odd that i can take a 30" rigid and a 30" china light and swap the end cap with the logo on itand you wouldnt even be able to tell. Just saying

    Probably should have mentioned it but i can order whatever size and style people are looking for. Just set up the gb with the radius cause i figured that would bring the most intrest. shootme a pm with what your looking for as im getting all the pricing squared away now
