Well as usual just when I was going to make a stupid purchase on some intense LEDs .................my dryer took a poop all over my face. So these are on the back burner for now
Will update when I order them. POS DRYER!!!!!!

Dang, I never even saw this... I've been so slammed over the last many months, I guess I haven't been checking the new threads enough! Lol....
Loving my lights, homie! I'll be glad to help you figure out anything you need to. As far as with a pickup, obviously things are a bit different..., but as far as wiring and relays and yada yada yada... Even in regards to location: and hiding wiring... I might be able to help.
I am loving the 20" Sunyee light on my addicted front bumper.... I am also loving the 8 count of 7 inch LED's from a local company about 5 miles from me in Torrance California. I got the 20 inch for such an incredible deal at 90 bucks shipped... I'm pretty sure it was a fluke because I've never seen that happen since. They messed up on the original bid and put it up with very little time to bid on it...???..... Anyway, whatever happened, I was the only one that bid and I wound up with it. This seemed to be running around at least 180 dollars and at times that company would have them up to 230 dollars or so...
The 7-inch lights, I sent them several letters and actually got them to agree to a deal since I was getting 8 @ 1 time. I wound up getting them for around 30 percent less than buying a single pair. The very cool thing about buying 8 of them instead of one big one is that you can direct to them to different angles. I posted up some pictures but an example is like the new FJ light bars that you can get that basically are shaped like a U. I think they hold around 6 lights and you can light up pretty much 240 degrees of the beam angle: around your truck. Obviously it's not going to be as bright facing forward as a 40 inch light bar... But I think people that have been out with me will tell you that my one 20 inch and two 7 inch spotlights on the front... They're plenty bright!
Tacking on LED rock lights, switches and interior lighting has really allowed me to get as much light on my truck without tooooo much draw, considering how much like I put out.
Sorry about the home appliance crisis! Crap always happens like that man!
PS: Richard and red wagon will both tell you that on Big Bear trails I had tree branches in all kinds of crap cracking in those things and one time , the rear driver side side facing light took a hit that like 35 miles an hour from a branch and completely brnt the bracket sideways.... About 5 seconds of talking and pulling with my hand and it was perfectly straight and damaged nothing... I also hit my 20 inch, which has nowhere to go from behind, pretty hard, on a rock it was about 48 inches tall... Rubs right out and never caused the single bit of damage... They all still work. The place that I got the lights locally, they are 100 percent made in the USA Cree LEDs.... I don't know if you can run over them with the truck, but I can tell you for a fact that they can take a nasty blow ! I guess time will tell, and it's your money, but I just hate to see you spend the same amount on two lights that you could on 4 or even 6, at least as long as you go with the reputable company other than rigid. But, I am NOT knocking them... They are most certainly proven to be hardcore. I just wonder if they have a better guarantee than the ones I got which is 2 years. Either way I'm excited to see him... Looks pretty cool for an idea!

I bought a set of round led reverse / work lights on amazon for about $20 each and they are absolutely amazing. They are a 60 degree flood light and I would recommend them to anyone. I have had them for about 2 months now, and absolutely no problems. They are very bright. They are called "LEDSTORE LED Work Light Lamp Off Road High Power ATV Jeep 4x4 Tractor 27W 60 Degree Flood Light" sold by tao tronics.

Thanks, Bob! Pretty much is like a day light party. Lol. Last night, I swapped out leave packs in the back... It is so nice to have those multiple rock lights! I took a picture so I will throw one up of that/ how well it lit up the work I was doing. I guess you could say it also helped light up the work those buddies were doing on the trail in the other picture.....A Member on here Snappled both ball joints on one side.
