Light bars, just curious...

[Skrap]

True! This is what I have. Really tuff to decide on a light bar or the 4 6" lights.

Just my opinion because I wish I would have done it but currently don't have the space. My Chinese bar does great within 75-100 yards in front. My high beams actually light up better straight ahead than the bar but the bar lights up everything else. I really, really want the Hyperspots from Rigid but have no place to put them. If you have room on your mount I'd do a 20" light bar and one Hyperspots at each side/end.

I'm surprised, with that bumper I thought everyone could just direct mount a light bar.. What made you go with the push bar setup?

I have not seen anyone with it so that was part of it, it also gives me the option to mount a combination of spots, floods, or a combo of lightbar and spots. I went with the light bar for now, but if I want to change it up I have four mounting locations. It gives the front clip more protection when I'm driving down a trail.

Plus it adds more badassary to the truck

I think it looks great on your truck. Especially with the black on black. Helps when you're not required to have a front plate too.

Ooooooo! I'm not a big fan of b/b. Mine's GC to and would love to see some side view pics in daylight of your truck. I bet it looks great in light.

Westin has a plate bracket for the bar, there are two mounting locations on the bottom of the bar to attach the plate relocation bracket.

I have used mine in a few heavy downpours in the afternoon coming home from work. I get so many people looking at me..LOL

A few times on the back roads with no on coming traffic, but that's why I waited for the price to drop so much. I wasn't going to pay $500 for something I would hardly use.

 

[Rzrman328]

Ha exactly....I have to turn mine on everynow and then to make sure it still works lol.

 

[SitKneelBend]

I wired mine up to an on/off/auto switch so I can turn them off or on manually, or have them turn on with highs. It stays in auto for the most part.

That's a good idea about wiring them the high beams. That would really **** some people off.. I like it..lol

OP I think since off roading has taken off as a "thing" way more than before, that's what makes it more popular. I don't know about $800 for it, but a good set of LEDs seems worth it if you're going hardcore in your offroading.

Oh definitely...

If I was way more into offroading and more frequently I would have certainly opted for a higher dollar bar with a good warranty.

I'm thinking of getting one for when I go hunting. I don't really do a whole lot of off-roading nor do I plan to even after I get my lift kit put on, but I'm really liking these light bars.

But what do you guys think would be more light output? 4 6" circle led lights or a 30" light bar,

Too many variables. Post links to the ones you are looking at. I would guess a high end 30" bar would be much cheaper than four high end Vision X type 6" rounds, by a lot.

Edit. As far as out put, see my first two sentences.

 

[AustinB]

These are the round lights I'd get, X2. 2 spot beams in the middle and floods on the outsides.

Or just a nice 30" bar with the same light pattern (floods with spot beams in the middle)
