    Ok. Hopefully I shouldn't have much of that. This truck is pretty new.

    Looking at carrying some LED's on the site. This is the first sample. Pretty damn bright for a 20" single row. ImageUploadedByTapatalk1436237290.998551.jpg

    Everyone has LEDs it seems. From what I notice people either buy the cheapest they can find or go Rigid or Vision X.

    I'm guessing that I'll be able to sell them for $250 retail, and they'll be discounted from that during the group buy. Don't hold me to it, but I'm thinking that the group buy will be 25% off, so we're probably looking around the $190 mark.

    Well, you could always spend $700 on a 20" name brand light. :D

    I'm also talking with another company that uses the same 5W LED's in a cube. I hope to have both in and tested before the group buy. The group buy will be for the grilles, but the LED's will be included as well. You don't have to buy a grille to get in on the LED's either.

    Depends on the shop. I had to hunt around till I found a shop that had a guy in the back that knew what he was doing. That shop happened to be an NTB.

    Too poor to list anything interesting.
    Last time I went cheap was an alignment place not too far from where I live. Never again. It's like they didn't even align it.

    I've been happy with the Firestone I go to.
