    @rjsimz @MattJakobs you guys don't understand that for the output you get it's actually not expensive, they are not cheaply made lights like 80% of people on tw have.
    Lumens wise they are roughly equal to ARB's 9" lights which sell for $725/each.
    Also two of these equals the light output of a 50" rigid for $500 less with 1/3 less amp draw. But to each their own

    I never said they weren't worth it. I looked at the picture, saw pods without knowledge of the product and wasn't expecting the price tag. I agree that it's probably worth the money to some but I don't see myself spending that much money on aux lights. Badass lights though.

    I just need about a 2" spacer before the super bump for my set up. But I have leftover spacers from when I made a ton.

    I'm getting used to mine. Trying to see if they will swap the backing for the sub compact instead of the micro I have now

    When I order the Stingray I asked them not to weld on the grill (they do by default).

    [​IMG]

    I simply used a pair of 2.5" hinges.

    I will weld on, if needed, a mailbox lock soon so it can be locked for security but easily opened.

    Those are fine for the rear. Rear coil is only like 200lb rate. Don't try it on the front coils tho :laughing:

    Yes, I used them for the rear coils. I don't think you could even fit them in the front with the UCA, LCA and other stuff in the way.

    Can if you pull the coilovers off. I tried those to take the preload off my coils to adjust them. Ended up buying a wall mounted branick.

    I'm glad I kept it tho, it did come in handy for installing the rear coils on the 4Runner :D

    When I installed the Toytech Boss 2.5 coilovers with 650Lb springs I had removed the UCA since I was replacing them with Total Chaos. I literally sat on the brake rotor to push the LCA down as I pushed it in and it worked.

    It was a PITA to turn the coil down with the spanner. I only moved it about 1/4" which was fine for then. I just installed the winch bumper and winch so I am sure I will need to move it more. I see others are using a cheater bar with the spanner wrench, I guess I will have to do the same.
