Got these installed. Ok I know they over the top but the other ones I had were pretty wimpy and I am going in the woods in a couple of days.



Out with the old...


In with the new!

Bumper lights are more effective than roof mounted as less glare but I can't imagine going with lights larger than 7" but they do look bright!!

Yeah update on the lights: reduced air flow quite a bit. My temps were at 215 on the highway! I pulled the alights down and dropped to 207. Still another 8 degrees higher than I am used to on the highway. Just remembered that I removed that scoop below the bumper before I left on my trip. I’ll bet that’s what is causing the other 8 degrees.

200 miles to go before we hit the trailhead. Lost a c pillar trim along the weigh *sigh*

fuel economy is ok at 12.2 and the intake temp is less than 10 degrees above ambient so the radiant barrier seems like it is doing its job.
