saw a top gear a few mos ago where they had a led bar mounted on the hood, or rood fcant remember of an e46 bimmer they were racing for better light in a 24 hr race. great idea other than blinding the people you are overtaking, but since everyone i knew ran with their high beams on anyway it seems to not matter i guess.

kyle, bimmerworld is putting amber covers on to conform to regulations.

frank, its the same with guys running half a dozen hid pencils on the roof rack, and shovel, and pick axe, and 4 jerry cans, limb risers, gourmet food transit devices/kitchens, etc...running open diffs and 32's and WILL never wheel a rain forest or make an 'expedition' longer than a route that is withing 5 miles of a chick-fil-a.

your $450 compared to a comparable rigid set up of $1000 is way more economical BUT the decals that come with the rigids are fucking sweeeeeet.
and rigid is made in the u s of a, which means if you dont support rigid, you dont support the american working man, and if you dont support the american working man, you dont support the troops, and if you dont support the troops you dont support america!!!....(i say that in a redneck George W Bush accent):patriot:

rachels shut down. she made her own gravy too. her bathrooms were filled with teddy bears, potpourri baskets, and the reach back was in a knitted cozy. damn shame.

that pub in grove is pretty damn good, the chicken stroganoff is outstanding.

Widener could see the trail in front of him before it was cool.

but seriously, that !@#$%^&* drives so fast on the trail; I'd give him money to support his lighting habit for when I make the mistake of riding with him at night.

Yeah, if anybody can actually justify LEDs it's Widener.
Doing every trail between 25-35mph.
While cocktails are sloshing in the backseat.


I drive so damn slow, I could put 2 candles on the bumper and they wouldnt blow out.

IDK, The only time I've ever actually seen Widener offroad, it was in the passenger seat of trevor's truck.

Last time I tried that I lost an argument with a tree.

Funny you should say that.
It was the strangest thing, there was this tree, right in the middle of the !@#$%^&* trail....

You write that as though lighting is only needed or intended for 4-wheeling.

lighting can be used for Christmas trees, accenting a nice piece of art or a sculpture, I use low voltage lights to illuminate my Japanese maples at night, lighting can be used for almost everything.
