Today was a productive day and I am now another two steps closer to the big trip.
I was up in arms if I was going to grab a LED lightbar or not. I knew that the performance was amazing and they are the latest thing but I dont tend to do my wheeling of a night on my trips as i hope to be in camp and cooking up a feast by the time it gets dark. I did want to get an awning however and Tigerz 11 had an offer where I got a 6" light bar for free with the awning and mozzie netting. SO I bought that lot and was having a play around with the light. The performance was great and I thought it would look quite nice on the back of the jeep once I got around to it.
Fast forward a couple of weeks and 4WD action call asking if I would like to renew my subs. I asked what offers they had on and in the end I got a 50" Tigerz 11 light bar and 12 months subscription for $800 delivered. Now I had to work out where to mount it... I knew that the rack would be the only real spot but how could I mount it with the brackets that come supplied and get a good angle on my wind deflector. Trial and error would suffice luckily enough.
I had to mount the light bar at the top of the wind deflector due to the overhang at the back of the light bar not allowing me to get the light level and in the end I had to satisfy myself with 1 degree down angle.
I am yet to try there offroad but my theory is the HID headlights are good for onroad, the spotlights are good for the distance and the lightbar will just light up the middle of it all.
