    Aren't those some heavy duty brackets? I got mine last week and the 6 switches I ordered from OTRATTW.

    What brand of light did you buy?

    Yea they are extremely beefy! I was surprised! Ha I don't have enough stuff for 6 switches so I just got one from OTRATTW. I got the ones in the 2nd gen marketplace $90 shipped for 2, my friend has them and he said they're pretty good

    8 bolts and 2 clips. Was surprised how easy it was. Didn't have to break any of the radiator hose connections. I even took a bit of time and put in some new sylvania ultra something or other bulbs. They are whiter but not sure any brighter.

    So I know the benefits of High Angle CV Boots , my question Is:

    How many of you are actually running them and should I really bother?

    Are the All Pro ones as good as any other?

    I am about to tear the front apart again and install the ARB and install new OEM CV's just wondering if it's necessary to do this too.

    Which model is that? Looks very similar to my pioneer. Hope yours works better than mine does. The bluetooth module failed after 5 months...Works great other than that lol.

    Wind resistance must be pretty suckish huh? With your lightbar mounted that high
    Even mine wasn't that high at first and my rpms and mileage fought the headwinds. Now mine is more low profile
