Alright party peeps, cheapo bumper lights (gonna try and smush 4 together under my hoop) or cheapo kinetic rope? I got 70 Amazon bucks I wanna get rid of

 

I think I have some cheap pods I could give you. Or 2 diode amber 4" bars I'd sell you. I also have 2 Rigid dually pods that need to be resealed if you want

 

I've got some cheapies already, but I really just wanna spend this Amazon gift card lol. I got a 100 for my birthday a couple months ago and 30 is going towards the chase lights

 

I used to work with Emus on a farm. Terrifying animals, tbh. I would just feed it once a day but when you entered the pen and its beating this little drum inside it. No thanks.

The mated pair were nicer than the solo who had like a huge run versus the pair being kind of cooped up in a small area. But if they were lookin at you cross you had to make a pretend beak with your hand and raise your arm straight to get tall

 

Figured I would offer since my truck will be down for at least a year if not longer than that

 

Cheap Lights might not work that good.

Cheap recovery will send you to the er or morgue

This is the mic you were using in VT you can actually hear the baofengs with it.

Don't know how wide your hoop is but you could do a bar too

 

As wide as the grill, I like the look of the single pods over a bar as well (purely aesthetic, also thought about mixing and matching lense patterns)

 

But, they could get you a good deal on car insurance, right?

 

Get some RGB ones. Rainbow chase lights.

 

What happened to the Rigids? Where’d they end up letting water in, I thought they were just a gasketed assembly.

 

Not sure, I had them as ditch lights for about 6 or 7 years so they sat outside. The powder coat is coming off the faces so could be weathered gasket or pitted aluminum. I needed new ditch lights for my Maine trip last year so buying some Diode ones was an easier option

 

That’s nuts. Mine are going on 10 years old now and have lived front, center and relatively low on 4 different trucks now, 20k miles a year, all 4 seasons. I’m actually surprised how well they still look given their age. I was curious what happened to yours.

 

I'll try to remember to take a pic next time I'm in the garage. Could have been just from water sitting on the gap for so many winters? I honestly am not 100% sure and figured I got my money out of them so I just bought new ones and haven't gotten to resealing the Rigids yet

 

Sprained my ankle yesterday lmao

 

Ouch, that's some serious cankle goin' on there

 

Yikes, what happened?

 

Was a little silly on the bicycle and got off quick into a ditch and ankle popped. I need to realize I'm not a youngian anymore and have some self control lol

 

Crocs happened.
