    X-posting from lighting because 3rd gen owners love spending $$$$

    So it’s Friday and I need a push one way or another. I’m looking to get a 20” bar for my new bumper. I can afford a Baja S8 due to a great deal from a friend but not sure I want to dump that much money down. Looking at a CaliRaisedLed or Rough Country if I don’t go that route. So - should I just go all in on a BD bar or cheap out? Help!

    You can go cheap and have to do it over, or you can go full out the first time.
    This is not saying anything specific to the parts in question, but just things in general.
    I learned this on a few things I have on my truck.

    The CaliRaised bar isn’t too bad, I’ve had 2 for over a year and no problems at all with them

    Caliraised or bust. I’ve had mine for over two years with no issues, and great customer support!

    If its in the bumper I'd go Caliraised and save the extra money for other mods. No need to flex the name brand if no one is going to see the logo lol.

    Can you advise on the lumen output for the 20” single row bar? Also the pattern, if it’s more of a spot pattern or combo? Thanks! Likely going this route
