    Maybe this has been asked already. Are you doing it or have you done it? Is this the next Raptor lights?

    Looks like we have some catching up to do ‘round here. Jeep bros already banging hard on the LED whips.

    RGB leds are pretty awesome though, I've seen some pretty fantastic light displays using them. Not quite up to lasers yet tho.

    Pro whip here. Works well for my uses, esp in the rolling dunes I like to play in west of my house. I'm not rolling around with it outside of effective places though.

    If not for the ongoing how to prevent bed mat theft thread, this may have been the Friday, not yet Friday thread of the week.

    How how do you keep some malcontent from stealing your whips?
    That's right folks, the Poo mod!


    In all seriousness; it looks ripe for a niche item that could really help in some isolated cases,,, but every tool in town is going to be sporting these to keep their insta poppin' and their teenage girlies entertained.

    If you're wheeling at night, I could see it used for safety. For any other reason, hard pass.

    If you're in the woods and the leader gets too far ahead, they can come in handy. I have mine on quick release and they stow on the bed rack perfect.
