    Anyone interested in single row 10w per cree led light bars? I'm going to be placing a bulk order soon. I can get 9", 16", 23.5", 32", 38", and 48". All have 10w cree led's and quality housings. There are tons of dual rows on the market, but these are higher quality and a better design imho. Available in spot, flood, and combo.
    Is this something people are interested in? I wanted to get away from the dual row look into something a bit more low key but still super bright. Couldn't find anything reasonably priced so I'm going straight to the manufacturer.

    hey I have some rust on the body of one my shocks. Its probably only a year old. If I sand the rust away, what can I put on the body to prevent it from rusting in that spot again?

    What sizes would you prefer? the 20watt models (2 leds) would make good fog lights or chase lights (was thinking of selling some with a strobe kit..).

    Looks clean. Awesome you didn't need to cut the cab open. Do you attach the bottom of the cage at a, b and c pillars to the side of the frame so it slides down like that?

    I'm doing the same set-up on a truck in the shop right now. We'll be testing this weekend. ;)

    Sweet! It's hard fitting everything in there. What size bypasses did you run?

    Curious why you guys aren't ditching the coil bucket hat? I can already see you are pulling a good amount of travel. I can see you'd keep the UCA there for keeping stock geometry in place. In general I'm pretty jealous of all those clean welds and fabbed lower mounts.

    Makes sense. I don't keep up to speed on racing rules to make any arguments about that.
