    I’m looking to do the cali raised hidden light bar bracket on my 2022. I have looked at auxbeam brand but not sure how I feel. I run Baja squadrons but Baja doesn’t make a 32.
    What do y’all suggest. Needs to be able to withstand d a 1400 psi pressure washer.

    I vote diode dynamics. Super bright, relatively cheap, and I've blasted it from about an inch away with a pressure washer and no issues.

    Another vote for DD. Check out the "Stage Series" light bars.

    So back in early / mid 2017 before my TW days and finding different brands and specs, in budget, I went with caliraised. I can say after all those years on both trucks the light bar has never failed to this day. It's plenty bright for my needs and confident every time I flip the switch it turns on with no problem.

    If for some reason today, I started all over I might make a different decision, but as of now, if it's not broke....

    for the pressure washer at that PSI.... I have no idea :confused:. Besides driving rain and a hose, my truck doesn't see that kind of pressure.

    Hey JBDLB, The S8 30-inch is actually a bit larger than the advertised length so it would fit in this location. If you would Like I can work with you on an order for the light via email.

    Hidden light bar? You're referring to this position?
    DD or BD fit perfectly. DD shown here on mine
