Are you disappointed in me for a trading in my Tacoma to get a 4Runner?

    I do! I'm going to toss on icon rxts on stage 1 once it warms up. The rear is definitely the weak spot right now with stock leaves and a topper.

    Yeah but Cali raised tend to use shaky overseas suppliers from the country that shall not be shamed, and they do that to get around patent infringements.

    Rigid are a solid company with a solid product. :thumbsup:

    Yeah, I got my caliraised stuff years before I joined the forum and ‘knew better’ or had more sight on other products
    But after almost 6 years they have held up like day 1. I’m conflicted but still happy with them

    If you are on a very tight budget then they are the way to go. The kit for my tundra that had both the ditch lights and mounts was very affordable and performed great. Now if someone is looking for top notch quality then they should definitely shop elsewhere.

    Bro you don't even want to know. As stated in post number one I wanted to take chances and try new things. I bought $20 ditch light brackets. To tell you how good they are I also have other brackets coming in the mail lol.

    Okay, so I have an initial review of them after adjusting them to where I feel like they should be pointed. Disappointment would be a bit too strong of a word, but I did expect more out of them. I would say the Cali raised ditch lights were 90% as bright as these for a whole bunch less money. I will reserve final judgment for after using them more but at this point it feels like I paid a whole bunch of money for the build quality and warranty. Also part of the letdown, which admittedly is my own problem, is the fact that I was hoping they would completely 100% replace my brights to the point where if I turned my brights on I wouldn't be able to even notice they turned on. Although it's nearly the case, I can see my brights filling in ever so slightly down the center of the road. Again I know this review isn't exactly glowing, but under no circumstances are they bad. It just doesn't feel like a lot of bang for my buck the way some purchases might.

    Hmm..... Maybe I'll run mine on my bumper like Baja lights, turn them on with my light bar for night wheeling.

    They seem.... Clunky for ditch lights
