Agree with EVERYONE. I went cheap. After looking at that 6" led bar and RIGIDs, the housings must be made in the same place. I know there's alot more that goes into a bar than the housings. The LED's are probably the same, because I am guessing those arent American made. Lenses + seals??

The only downside - and I fully understand - is that when I go cheap, or especially when I cut out the middle man - THAT is when an American is getting cut out.
For this, I am sorry. Some dude from Tennessee is making a buck off of me, and kudos for him to providing something from somewhere (ha) for the cost conscious.
I don't need an LED bar. I just want one. $200 is a pretty penny for something I don't really need. It's almost 1/4 the cost of the AMERICAN MADE rear bumper I want and about half the cost of the rear main seal I need done soon.

I will support any and every vendor on CF when I can. That's the truth. You guys support your products, the community, AND on top of that, answer stupid questions like "is this an open differential?" Oh yeah - and you give discounts to cheap asses like me.

/endrant


I ordered my 30" led bar today. I hope it is decent. If not, I'm the scapegoat and it will encourage more to buy from guys they know and trust.

.. now back to painting my diff covers.

I couldn't agree with you more, man.

What color are you painting them? Taking them off or leaving them on?

They will accent my new led light bar, so this is on topic. Haha


White. Like 3 layers primer, a bunch of misted gloss white, then I'll do a bunch of clear coat. Hope I don't regret it. And of course I took them off.

White like the light from an led light bar

For everyone that was asking about light bars. I just got off the phone with my business partner and I think we have all came to an agreement on the new pricing. Everything "should" be finalized and a list posted tomorrow in the Vendor's section.

It's taking longer than anticipated. The website is not acting properly.

sorry to go off topic once again
but i too have a surefire flashlight (the one that takes the 2 expensive camera batteries dont remember the model name)
and i totally disagree with that statement, ive bought numerous ebay cree flashlights for sometimes 3 or 4 dollars that in my opinion are better than the surefire. all the hong kong f/l have an adjustable beam, spot to flood the surefire is just a blob of light and batteries are like 7 bucks so i hate to say but the chinese stuff for the money gets the win

however i also have dually d2 on our semi truck
