What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Think the max’s are worth the extra 200 over the pro?

 

The Max's have tighter cutoff line similar to the sports, whereas the pros shine a little higher and wider in their pattern. Both the pro's and the Max's will get hot enough to melt snow. The max's have double the output light intensity of the pro's (brighter).

I probably could have gone either way with pros or max's, but I'm more than happy with the max's. I got them on sale for $459 through hotshotoffroad.

 

Oh? it says 580 for the maxes

 

Whichever you choose, wait for a sale.

Edit: I think the pros are around $270 on sale.

 

i wish they sold just the kit without the mount, it sits right where my ARB sits... i like the setup thou very clean.

 

Installed a Sherpa Animus roof rack. Will probably only have enough room for maxtrax, firewood, and communication antennas. That means less stuff in the bed of the truck though!

 

Couldn't resist! Those of us with long beds like to use our trucks for doing actual work out of, versus hauling groceries!

 

Those 315's are beefy. Are you running an aftermarket power steering cooler?

 

Nope. Haven’t ran into any steering issues that I’m aware of either. Fluid looks great and no whining from the pump.

 

Im going to be installing Baja work light to the roof rack so I drilled out some custom brackets to they sit flush with the rack and painted them as well as some plastic covers black so the disappear and look like part of the prinsu rack, ill post pics later. they are drying.

 

most attorneys that deal with auto wrecks just take a cut of the settlement, there isn't an up front cost

 

Not yellow fogs, but I’m pleased as I can be with the DD SS3 Pro driving lights (white). Installed and aiming was much simpler than I thought it would be. Puts out fantastic white light. Makes me a bit embarrassed to turn on the headlights because they’re so dull and dingy looking in comparison. Gotta turn ‘em on though because they have the needed “reach”.

 

Oh ok thanks! You find out sales from their email?

 

I thought you always wanted yellow fogs bc of the temperature to push through dust fog etc

 

I think most of the benefits people report with yellow can be attributed to the placebo effect. IMO, if you like the look of yellow get yellow and if you prefer white get white.

 

Look at RedArc for brake controllers.
They have the towpro and the less expensive towpro liberty. I have the liberty model. It works well and is easy to install and get a custom looking installation.

 

There was a Black Friday sale mega thread a while back that @hyrule_trd put together. Otherwise you can check Hotshotoffroad's website periodically https://hotshotoffroad.com or PM @memario1214 to see if he can tip you off about his next sale or put together something with your budget.

Temperature will cut through ice/snow (pros and Max's only, sports won't get hot enough) Selective Yellow light will cut through dust and fog better than white and will provide better visibility in snow conditions. Yellow is the most popular, but it's really a personal preference.

@crashnburn80 has put together a substantial amount of data comparing fog lights if you're interested in seeing the differences between the SS3's. Some order the selective yellow pros and swap with white lenses for a 4k white color hue.

You mean vs. actual off-roading Cookie Monster says “long bed no good on trails “….

 

LB only has a 4 degree disadvantage to departure angle. Probably not going to kill you on a trail.

 

Tight turns and big rocks are the LB’s enemy. I’ve witnessed it firsthand.
