    Eh. I wouldn't buy top dollar ridgids. But don't go too cheap. Honestly okledbars is probably what I'd run for a fog light. Or fill for that matter

    Yea it was me. I'm stoked someone finally put a big ass led in a big reflector. It's like a no brainer too me. I bet they work awesome.

    But..also..not cheap haha

    Still I'm gonna fit some in my bumper as ummm..."fogs" :devil: you could too really. Easier then me I bet.

    Fyrlyt is pricey. But so is lightforce so..yea. Really. Good lights cost a lot. Unless you get lucky and score second hand :spy:

    I like waiting for oncoming. Just to see if they will forget so I can flash them with the rays of 12 lights :D they generally turn theirs off pretty quick. Haha

    Nah I don't do that. But I do flash people with the 240s..they react pretty god damn fast hahaha

    Yea idk how good they are but..pretty cheap really.

    okledbars even sells a orange tint 2x2 pod.

    :rofl: i would be i can't get my ipad out that fast :p haha ahh..i miss my stereo..Igor needs some love in the audio department..just...not the same..

    I love night wheeling :D but also for me out here(when in wy that is) on the hwy deer are EVERYWHERE. so..handy to see them all. If its really late ill light up everything and drive with it. Its crazy how many deer most people would miss..blew me away..haha But i can understand a main light not being on most peoples list..but its kinda one of those things that you don't totally love or even the idea of it till you have it. Then you find you use it a lot more. Least thats how i was and in a way my dad. He loves his LED bar. I wish i could get him to get something else but his truck is so clean i don't think lights would help much plus the bar does fine for him.

    Its also one of those things that really anything is an improvement and a help so getting $800 light forces or visisonx or whatever isn't always needed for a lot of people. Such as yourself.

    happy medium is needed as usual.

    Yea. Pull the inner side panel. Only way you can get the 4 nuts off the studs on the window itself. The latch is pretty easy to take off

    Actually I liked the sawzall better.

    Don't be scared to cut too much either...seriously. Takes more then you will think. Just cut a big ass hole.

    For what? :p
