Cody's 2002 build "The Tank"

jesus..2 years?? haha wow..haha

and yes they have. But i mean look at Rigid, they are probably the closest bars to competeing with HIDs due to their optics..everyone else is just copying them. And you need like a 40'' bat at least to compete with like 2 of my HID hellas. Price difference...like 6-800 bucks..haha ridiculous.

The cheaper LED bars don't have those Optic or the brand name, but they still are 400 bucks.

then there are ones like mine by blitzpro that have no optics at all. very very cheap. But not great for much more then a fill light..although i was very impressed with my 21'' Hawk S bar. But they aren't on the same level as my LF240s, and those are just halogens.

In terms of size, performance, and price..i think it'll be a while.

Its getting there though...then ill have to rebuild my damn roof rack AGAIN to fit an LED bar...sheesh..haha

 

i've been known to at times throw a bottle of water on my windhsield

yeah man, i hear ya. i don't have to rebuild my roof rack but i will be working on a bracket here in the next few months to host 3 LED bars up top.

 

3??? why not one big one?...or you going like me me with one on each side

 

nope, i'm going to angle the outer two a little towards their sides. only maybe a 10° or 15° tops.
although now i think about it i used to manuever my rear kragens around if i was working on the side of the truck. i'm putting x2 6" bars in place and won't be able to manuever those. hmm. maybe i'll do an LED pod per side.

 

Just do this..



problem solved haha

and nice! i like that idea. All my roof lights are angled a bit. well..actually the outers are a lot..

 

I don't need that much out the side! Plus I don't have a roof rack nor do I want one like that lol. Nothing against your build I just don't want to go that route

 

i know lol i was just saying mount a light there!

 

I may do a pod off my bed bar on each side. I'll worry about that later, its def not a necessity

 

This is what I plan to do when I get a BoxRocketFab bed rack. I'm going to use these...

ah Adam's(box rocket) fab work is outstanding.

i'll prob go with one of the pods from Jasper. but i have more important things to worry about first. i'm just itching to get out and start working on truck stuff. i'm currently out of projects until i spend more $$ though

 

Haha I just got new tires today. My mods are going to be slow for a while now. I'm hoping to do exhaust, tint, and full size spare next.

 

sweet. i need to work on getting a full size spare rather than my 33 but i'm trying to hold off since i plan on buying 40's for the SAS

 

Yeah, I just don't want to get stuck on the side of the road with a flat 33" and a 31" spare.... Haha

40's!? When do you think this will happen???

 

that depends on the house search and job search now that i'm down here but if everything goes as planned i'll be SASed by the end of the year

 

Oh Yeah Cody DO IT!!!

 

Awesome! I already want to go up to 35's now, but I know I'm going to rub like crazy next weekend with the 33's!

 

more toys

 

Ugh, you're making me want LED's instead of HID's!

 

all goes for what you wheel man.

i was VERY glad to have the HIDs this weekend as i could see the deer a long ways a way..but they were too bright for the actual trail when we go inthe close shit..then i was real glad i had the LEDs.




Cody is that a second 30" or where is that one gonna go??

 

nah it wasn't a second, it was a replacement for the last one. it somehow developed a crack in it.
i will have to figure something else out for lighting eventually for distance. the kragens used to drown out my cut-off line from the projectors, even at a distance. LEDs don't; upclose they do but not at distance.
