    I got two of those in amber to mount on the rear bumper for low-vis conditions. I'm impressed with the output, just not totally sure of mounting solutions as rock lights.

    That's about the only issue I can think of. Found this thread as well http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/general-4x4-discussion/841577-rock-lights-2.html

    I like the strips under the cab but want to switch to the Lifetime or something similar in the wheel wells. The strips get muddy and are a pain to clean in the wheel well. Where the lifetime would only need a quick wipe.

    Had an idea for the lifetime lights. As for the sides of the truck do two of the lights on small angle iron brackets that could just be tack welded above the slider mounts and brackets coming off front and rear bumpers (plate bumpers would work better)

    Edit: just some small tabs with holes to fit the light would be ideal, you could angle them any way you wanted under the truck specifically

    I think I might get two of those lights from southeast overland and get a small bit of 1/16 steel and try out some mounts for them between sliders and such. If they don't work I can always use them for something else.

    Can't now. Already changed the oil. I think the stock is 10mm judging by how far it was off. And the valve was 12mm

    Edit: nope it's 12mm just like the stock plug. I have no idea why it wouldn't go in. I'll save it and try again next oil change

    Threads may just be different, don't force it. If you got it from Amazon, have them exchange it or something
