    Tires are wearing slower now that they are siped, quieter and softer ride too.
    Bedliner shows no signs of fading inside the bed or on the body sides, yet. :cool:

    Well, mine's only been on a couple months and the sun hasn't made much of an appearance lately..next summer will be the true test for fade. So far the coating on the rocker panels and sliders are holding up to sand, water, girlfriend kicking the crap off her shoes, etc...

    just use some armorall or tire dressing on a rag and rub them down and they'll be a deep black again for a few months.
    Thats what I do with my rocker panels.

    These came in today.:D

    The lenses appear to have an epoxy coating of some kind on them, I'm not sure they are meant to be removed. Looks like they're pretty well sealed. So I may leave them clear. They appear fairly well constructed, I have nothing else to compare them too however.

    Not sure yet. Might put two under the front bumper, there is a protected space between the bottom tubes and the plate. Might put the other one out back.

    ehem, so, after opening the other two boxes, I noticed a diference, with all three. Notice the different lens profile. That's clear epoxy of some kind on the right and none on the left unit and some on the center unit
    [​IMG]

    So the first one I opened was very well sealed. The other two, one was sealed well but not like the first and the other was not sealed at all although the lens appears to be fixed tight, it doesn't move with light prying.

    They all have that same date stamped on them. Not a big deal for the price at all, I can certainly apply clear epoxy on the one that came unsealed. Or just leave it and use it as is which is prolly most likely what will happen. :p

    hell I'd just throw some clear silicone now... on all of them... cheap insurance not for the price of the light... but for the time spent installing $.02

    lol, yeah, maybe just the one that has nothing on it. The other two look as if they could be fully submerged and would be fine. Not gonna test that theory just yet though :D

    I really wish I would have ordered more of them at that price.
