    Why is there always such a long delay between the time I tell people something and the time they believe they have come to the same conclusion all by themselves? :confused:

    I needed actual proof, and I think snow was the last element I had not seen them in yet. If I wasn't doing my HG, I would drop everything and head to discount :jerkoff:

    Do those red lights illuminate when the switch is on or off. I got one hooked up to duallys and the red LED is on when the lights are actually off, which I thought was kinda backwards, but I tried all combinations of the 3 prongs.

    Mine light up when the lights are on.
    I don't remember how I wired them but I know I followed the destructions.

    I always follow destructions.

    The only instructions I had were on the back of the switch box from autozone haha (it was meant to be a test switch that I havent swapped out). Is it on a negative or positive trigger. I have 2 grounds running to the switch and somehow it magically turns on (switch connected to relay connected to the lights themselves and inline fuses direct to the battery.

    I copied this from t_e's thread:
    Gold terminal is ground for the led
    Middle terminal goes to the ACC you're powering
    Last terminal is power in

    That's how I wired mine. I didn't use a relay either as the switch is rated for 16amps and I'm drawing barely over 10.

    Hey James, let me know when you get them installed. I'd be happy to help you out with the RAWR™ mod.

    I think I may have to wait to see if they are lava rated first, get back to me on that, then we can check the rawr rating.

    Just FYI, I installed a Set of LTX M/S on a Highlander today. The owner loved the aggressive look. They look great at the mall.

    BFG is owned by Michelin so I'm technically running Michelins also. Group hug. :D

    Michelin's are the only real all-terrain. Every other all-terrain should henceforth be renamed some-terrain.

    My tires say "Maximum Traction" right on the sidewall. They didn't lie to me, did they?

    Maximum traction just means that's the best THEY could do.

    They can say that for sure. Besides "Maximum Traction" could be when you are on the roof right? Then they didn't lie. :p

    My tires are 285/75/16s.

    I have to say, I'm disappointed with the apparent level of skepticism displayed by even those who have witnessed these amazing tires in action first hand.

    For those of you who haven't, I gathered some photographic evidence of the terrain these can handle without issue.


    First, the requested molten lava test.....
    lava_zpsa5d33aa8_b981d1900fee6507b5d7c8b4ffeacca15fcba101.jpg
    I don't think they even got that warm....


    Next up, in honor of Bill Cosby, we have some chocolate pudding.
    pudding_zps3c4841a5_49b421d1dbcb69353bc89ea7b327167a4712c5e1.jpg


    Then there's the pasta.
    spag_zpsff3f053c_743db69fb8ead289e7eef249fa5acd60c808f59d.jpg
    I did not try this with gluten free pasta, but I'm sure they'd work just as well.


    They do amazingly well on the surface of the moon too!
    moon_zps842a0ab5_2a655ffda78efbc15512f7081b626ffd0307a805.jpg
    Some day I'll have to test my led lighting on the dark side of the moon.


    And finally, everyone's favorite (very challenging and distracting)

    Cleavage!
    cleavage_zps114c7716_343649bfb67d43b1fb1af44dc6a69816e6885afe.jpg



    There. That ought to silence all the naysayers.
