    You know there's an ongoing GB right. There's a coupon code in the GB thread. Also there's a guy selling like three sets of lights down in the states. Says hell do 110 shipped I was just wondering if anyone up here had any before I commit to buying a set from him.

    A couple pics from Whittier today...

    Looks like they've had some snow lately. That wall of snow was not there a couple weeks ago.

    It's ok. When I get a bumper I think I'll eventually buy a combo spot/flood bar rather than just a flood. Well, actually I think I'd have two lightforces on the bumper so the bar will basically just be a fill light, which my current one does great at.

    Oh well if you're just looking for a fill light to light up the area directly in front of your truck then the blitzpro bar would work great. It just doesn't throw light far at all, which I was expecting anyway.

    Got proper stuck last night. Was spinning brodys in my church parking lot as I was leaving work and a first gen came and joined me. Chatted for a bit then we checked out the 100th trail. I blazed the path for him and sunk my tires really good. He ended up getting stuck trying to get me out so when we got him out, we drive to my house and got my tow strap and yanked me right out! All in all a great night with a total stranger lol.
