Cincinnati Area Thread (Tri-State, Ohio/Kentucky/Indiana)

I have a roof bar, it’s decent. Wish it had more flood pattern, too much spot.

 

My Nilight single row 20" is pretty badass I think, for the money compared to others. It doesn't give me Rigid envy, at least. Yes, others make a better light, but for the money and the risk of smashing on a rock or tree, they still carry a lifetime warranty.

 

I lied. 2 year warranty

 

ISO roof rack rails and crossbars (at least 150# limit), roof basket (if the basket mounts where the rails mount then even better), and RTT that can hold 3+ people. Anyone have any leads in the Ohio or northern KY area?

TIA!!

 

The nilight projector kit has me interested.

I just think an HID projector or 2 will have much higher lux at 200 yd than any reasonably priced 20-30" light bar.

My application is long overnight highway drives. Just drove to and from Maine last week, spotlights see a lot of use in KY, WV, MD, PA, NH, ME.

For trail rides, I could probably use a slightly better ditch-light setup vs what I have now, but I have all that and just have't installed it due to laziness.

 

I'll give you my old Hellas

 

Sorry to be picky... which hellas?

 

I have my lower grill bar and roof bar behind a double throw relay that when activated, is triggered by pushing the light stalk forward for High Beam.

that works great so only one switch action to turn on or off all forward lighting.

It’s good for flashing at crosswalks, other vehicles.

I know it’s not legal. Don’t waste your time typing. I like like it.

 

500 or 700s

 

Harbor Freight wrenches suck
That is all

 

I gotta go for something with a smaller form factor. A 30" single or dual row light bar might be just right. I want it to tuck down behind a plexi airdam, unlike how most of the big-names make their roof racks.

 

Which ones? Specifically.

I've had great luck with my standard combo/box end wrenches at home, and abused their ratchet wrenches some too, at home and work. These are the normal Pittsburgh brand

 

This is what I put on my bumper:

Rolled the dice on it's quality, I was mixed about the 30" I previously had mounted on my crash bar with stock bumper, but this thing surprised the shit outta me!

 

I'm low-key curious about these...

Or like I said, build an HID projector for up there.

ofc what I really want is an s1 or x6 BD laser light.... but for ~100 a pop not ~600+ lol.

 

Those are kinda nice! I like the size of them for sure. Glad I'm not the only one who won't spend a house payment on truck lighting

 

I've never read it. So. There you have it.



It doesnt fucking take that long to get 50 messages in this forum. HAHAHA. Like, maybe 4 minutes?

 

don’t poke the bear

I'm not worried about bears.

I dont typically skirt the line too awful much, unless a mod is involved and I'm simply skirting just to be facetious.

 

For our Kentucky readers, facetious means treating serious issues with deliberately inappropriate humor; flippant.
