Sometimes I think Lightbars should be outlawed.

    Fo sho I got to the original tacos el gordon in TJ all the time. But north of the border I think they’re the best spot around. Or for fish tacos checkout Oscar’s in PB if you haven’t already :)

    The S8-20 is just about all the light I personally need to the front. With the exception of some lighting to the sides, because sharp turn trails in the cedars and canyon trails after dark is like driving blind. Not to mention the elk, deer or cow that just love to jump out from the dark blind spot at seemingly the last moment. But there will never be a day where I throw ditch light pods on my vehicle. Guess that became a thing about the same time as roof mounted light bars, but just about every other damn truck I see around here has them. Seems a less than elegant solution to a problem most just don't have to begin with.

    I like keeping lighting low key. Meso's mirror ditch light mod may be an option, but 1st I may want to explore how a set of BD squadron sport wide cornering in the fog pockets help out before I start tearing into mirrors. I'm just not sure they'll throw much more to the sides than the S8-20 already does, and have not found any vids or pics to date of the wide cornering pattern which demonstrates just how much of an improvement there may be as viewed to the sides from the driver's seat.

    Meso's mod above is a tits, clean looking and low key solution I'm considering for sure though.

    There's never a cop around when you need one. I think vigilantism should be legal.

    Problem with that is they freeze! And dart in the direction they’re facing when the fear finally overcomes them (usually at the last second).
    Last deer I hit cane from the opposite side of the road I couldn’t see because SOMEONE ELSE WAS RUNNING HIGH BEAMS AT ONCOMING TRAFFIC! First and last thing I saw was a shadow crossing their lights! $2600 and they took off!
