    F3CAC9E3-D1C6-43E0-8590-991B2CA77C8B.jpg Installed the Rough Country 20” duel row light bar. It’s the black cool white light bar. Right outta the box I was impressed with the quality. Not sure how it will hold up but for 189.00 I’m impressed so far.

    Cold day for a light bar install, no? (Fellow Masshole here).

    Fits well in the space for sure. Looks great!

    I feel that it's 70 here in Texas and I'm not enjoying the weather either.

    I recently installed an RC 30 inch single black series and was impressed with the build quality too. The hardware/ mounting tabs on the other hand, left much to be desired.

    I noticed that as well. Thankfully my bumper had its own mounting brackets built in and they seem to be pretty good.

    Looks really good on that bumper. I’ve been considering that blacked out light bar also, but like you skeptical because of the price. Post some night shots or your thoughts on the light output if possible please

    Thanks for that! I’m really considering it. It’s probably on par with a Cali raised bar, I think cali raised is more expensive just because the popularity and marketing of their brand. But I’m no expert lol
