XPOTRPR build & BS

So any chance you can make another set of these?

 

Thanks man. I got ya.

Services are Saturday. So no expo for us.

Set of what.. Mounts?

 

Ooops it didn't quote the whole thing weird. Yes the mounting brackets that you fabbed up! The whole setup came out great.

 

I'm still workin on em.. but thanks man! they are getting there.

about making extras.. idk.. most likely not to be honest. really just a side project as I find the time.

I would love to be able to pump these and other parts out for you guys though!

Great pics buddy

 

This truck is so sexy

 

thanks man!

yeah it was! talked to the owner for about 30 minutes picking his brain and checking it out. love all the attention to detail

 

So now comes the serious question... Do I take it off.. And park in the garage.. Or leave it on and park in the driveway.. Lol

 

Have Colby help you set up cameras and park outside

 

lol. yeah I need to do that regardless. but it will just be coming off and I'll mount it in the garage.

 

But but but...

Its so secz with it on

 

LIFETIME LED...

I was able to run and really test the lights this trip. First impression... better than I thought.

They are definitely a wide flood pattern, and obviously not as bright as a single color LED. The throw is somewhat disappointing, but that could just be because I've never had floods before and I was also coming from the 50" roof bar. that being said.. the dual function definitely makes up for that.

The ditch pods that are angled out on the hood, served as great corner lights while in White. driving through the forest they lit up the edges of the road nicely.. which was definitely helpful as there were Elk and Deer EVERYWHERE (I know where I'm putting in next hunt). While in Amber.. they worked beautifully in the coincidental fog we drove through.. so being able to switch from white to amber worked... just.. awesome! The flood still isnt the greatest for out in front, but angled to the side.. for ditch lights like.. they are intended for.. they do great. distance lighting will be covered by the light bar in the roof rack so no worries there.

The rears worked great. I had multiple people say they really liked the rear Ambers. especially in the dusty conditions we were in as well as the fog. In White.. they are great for back up lights and camp lights. I wish I would have gotten more pics.. because they did great out back. The flood pattern works great back there.

What really impressed me were the cheapo side lights. They were awesome this trip! I used them more than the switchbacks. I could reach out the window and adjust the height accordingly. driving through the forest.. they lit up into the trees nicely. they worked great for setting up camp and hanging around where we needed extra light.

TLDR.. They ARE pretty sweet. although the output isnt as great as other 20w pods.. the price and that warranty cant be beat. If they made them in spot.. they would sell out!

I will be finishing up my lighting within the next couple months hopefully. roof bar and some different, bigger, side lights because I liked them so much. also, rock lights.

 

Thank you for that writeup mang

 

of course man. Like I said.. I wish I had more pics.. because they are pretty bright. 20W floods light up the immediate area perfectly.

 

Awesome pics!

 

thanks buddy!

 

Like I said, a good rock light setup is going to be real nice around the truck. Illuminate the ground to help with walking/stepping, without getting flashed in the eyes occasionally. Plus of course adding to the "hovering spacecraft" look while bombing thru the trees.

 

Agreed.. I have the lights, Just need the time.. And I also just hate working under the truck.. Lol That last part made me laugh in a real menacing type laugh... And also made me feel real funny in my pants.. I liked it..

 

Photos look great! Was such a fun time. And trucks looking awesome aswell
