    I had an Iggy 30” combo bar.

    Spot centers, flood on sides. It’s up your alley!

    Customer service for one time purchases doesn’t really mean shit to me personally. Anybody is a great customer in that situation.

    Quality materials, quality construction, quality output, and quality service for issues is what sells any electronic device. @Iggy is all of those things.

    He’s local to me. I vouch, hard. Great guy and great stuff.

    I'll keep an eye out. I'm trying to price it out so not ordering right now. just looking for reivews so I can price out what I'd be buying. But I'll check into the group buys closer to the time to see how it goes.

    Also I wouldn’t stick a pure flood beam on your roof at least for a 2nd gen. The hood catches a lot of the beam and your field of view becomes very restricted, to a point that your high beams are a better light source with no bar. So I’d aim for a grill/valence mount if I did it again.

    Wait til you see a minivan or Chevy Hhr with one like I did then you’ll want to sell it lol.

    From what it sounds like, the lower valance package might work for you. Since it's a little tucked away, it's less "bro". Or look into their side shooter ditch lights. Really good spread. $90 I think.



    FWIW, I got Chinese knock offs for half that and they're just as good, but it hasn't rained yet so we'll see.

    I’d say CR is fine for a first light, provided you don’t have issues with moisture or undue wear.

    Like has been said.. they meet their price point with output and build construction.

    Easy to install? They all are. They bolt on and the market for mounts is thick and well supplied.

    Not a factor I’d worry about, or customer service unless it’s warranty replacement and going beyond for a customer. Those are what matter, not how long it takes to get a reply or how fast they ship.

    my concern is the one facebook page torontocarspotting
    seen a few post in there of dumb cunts in jeeps posting their own jeep saying 'this is my offroad jeep' and all it is, is a stupid cheap ebay lightbar on the roof and the most off road they'd see is grass at a soccer field.

    but I'd never do a roof mount. At least not a roof rack one. hear too much about how it glares off the hood. besides I don't have a roof rack if anything it would mount to my bed rack.

    This is kinda interesting.

    No trees on the left side in that pic or are they just not lit up?

    Lol my town is littered with that.

    That’s the thing with roof mounting, you need to push those lights as far forward as possible or move them rearward to avoid glare. I never thought my glare was an issue until I actually used the bar on a pitch black trail and learned pretty quick your vision gets pretty washed out.

    Me too, that’s why I suggest other.

    Either cheap Amazon so it doesn’t matter, or step up a little to IggyCorp!

    Look into Auxbeam lights. I use them and a few friends also have several. They work well for the price, have a fair amount of options and have held up fine in temperatures ranging from -60° to +95°.

    makes me sick
    had one jeep guy with 33x12.5x20 say shit to me in a parking lot once saying 'bro you need bigger wheels'


    Don't get the point of a low profile mud terrain.
    those type of guys bother the shit outta me. You want to be a mall crawler go ahead, but don't try and tell me your shit when you couldn't even keep up with me offroad

    I’m not really sure why anyone throws rubber band tires on what otherwise has been modded to appear like an off-road by vehicle.

    I haven’t noticed any rust issues with them yet, I’m pretty sure they are an aluminum housing.

    me too.
    but I mean all they do is cheap lift and big tires. not like they actually get armour or anything or know how the fuck to wheel.
    I've seen some of them on trails. or at least trying to get on a trail.
    they know nothing of proper lines, airing down, or even being in 4lo lol.

    its just embarrassing and gives real wheelers a bad name/rep.
    I remember when my girlfriend's friends found out I off road they though of those dumb mall crawler types.

    checking out iggycorp right now.

    looks like some decent prices and sounds like they look more into the climate I deal with.
    wonder if that hidden mount from cali will work

    Open field on left with no trees. It is the combo pattern so there is some spread, but the beam is definitely concentrated in the center
