    Scrubbed some tires, and knocked a dent out.
    Ive come across a few posts about the topic. One where a guy actually posted one he (or she or whatever else) installed. Came across a thread with a guy mentioning GOLIGHT.

    Ive not really been able to find much else. Certainly theres some people here that have instaled various ones?

    If I live to regret it or not; by god Im getting a search light and a tanked air compressor on this truck.

    Go lights are awesome. They have wired and wireless controller options.

    They are a big deal around here. I would love to have one and would get a ton of use out of it, but every other 16 high school kid has them on their obnoxiously loud squatted junk… so I can’t bring myself to do it

    Im aware, and thats a concern no doubt. I havent even opened up the pillar to look at what alls going on. It has been done before, even with the airbag and wiring. If its too risky or it seems like I cant put it to where the handle wont get impaled in my face upon deployment then I wont install that type. Though I like the idea of no showing wires and an easy to use handle nearby.

    Oh man. Thats awesome. Im gonna click the link, but I already know I cant afford it!lol

    Im sure Ill do that too. But its easier to turn a light than the whole truck, and I like the idea of being able to shine light exactly where I want to be looking.

    It's a lot cheaper to just get a flashlight. Some of the hand helds are pretty amazing from a light output standpoint
