    Has anyone run these on Zach's Prinsu roof rack? How did the install go? Curious about this as I'm about to add both options this spring

    Look at build!
    Got it mounted then realized it was combo pattern. Took about 30-45 minutes to wire and weld up the mounts.. Hopefully can get an all spot version though to replace this one! Awaiting PM response! :D

    Ordered up a 40" 4D Optic bar...finally got the install completed the other day...

    Here are some photos!

    LED Bar and Low Beams

    24,000 Lumens is a beautiful thing. My only regret I suppose? I probably should have shelled out a few more bucks to go to a 52" Radius Bar. The 40" light is a combo bar and it is great, but I kinda wish it had more dispersion to the sides. Oh well, here's to a set of flood pods in the near future! (Not to mention I'll be able to wire it to a separate switch to!)

    Thanks again Mike! I look forward to doing business with you again!

    Say I want to run this off of switched power and not battery, am I correct that a 30" draws 15a? (180w/12v=15amp)
    Thinking of running off an add a fuse.

    Your math is good. You should run an 18-20 amp fuse.. Depending on tolerances, the resistance of the light bar may be towards the higher side of their tolerances, thus creating a larger power consumption which leads to higher amps.

    I finally wired my lightbar up using an air on board switch. It was very easy using the supplied harness.

    What I need now are fog lights. My truck did not come with lights. My concern is the mount. Do you have lights that will easily mount in the stock location? There are no fogs there now, so no hardware that I know of. I'm not worried about wiring, just mounting.

    Does anyone have close-ups of mounting brackets (if any) that come on the smaller pods? I'm trying to figure out if I'll need to buy/fab brackets to mount these as fog replacements in my SOS bumper but the pics don't show the hardware.

    Post 1142 in this thread has a picture of my pods with the supplied brackets. Not a great picture but should give an idea.

    Thanks. I saw these when I was browsing the thread but wasn't sure if those brackets were supplied with the pods or not.

    Mikevee - can you tell me if all the small pods have similar brackets that come with them?

    Mike, are your Optic series lights and regular lights the same body? Like is the body of the 30" optic the same as the regular? I think you could probably guess where I'm going with this one :D

    I'm looking for lights to fill a 3.5" round fog light cutout. What do you have that would work here and what kind of brackets do they have?

    Mike, What is the difference between the CR series and the SLD2 Series? I have a 13 sport and am thinking of getting one of your 30" bars and a N-Fab T12300RL bar. Will either of these bolt up to the N-fab?
