    LOL!! I ran a couple heavey equipment lights (HID) on one of my trucks, and I was late to our camp site. As I came over the mountain, I could see my camping buddys looking up at me, and when I got to camp, one of my buds actually said he thought I was an airplane crashing...:anonymous:

    I'm upgrading my front light bar. @Baja Designs was offering to warranty my Onx6 due to the anodizing fading horribly, and getting picked on by the Rigid guys, but a friend of mine actually likes the color, so I'm giving it to him......for a nominal fee of course. Today, I got my new Onx6 HI POWWA!!!!!.......*cough* "Hi-Power". It packs over 23,000 lumens of darkness piercing lighting. That's more than many (if not most) 50" light bars folks. IN a 20"er. Hoping to install it this weekend. :)

    What do you mean "not an upgrade"? Lemmie tell ya. The regular onx6 can be seen from Mars. The Onx6 Hi Power is rumored to be the source of "solar" power for those over priced RC cars they have running amok up there.....:cool:

    Upgraded my Onx6 to an Onx6 Hi-Power. Sending the old one in to get the anodizing fixed.

    Its the Gerber Prodigy fine edge fixed blade. It had great reviews, and when Gerber discontinued it, people were buying them up, and selling them on EBay for more money. I found one at WalMart for 30 bucks (Retail was 79.99) so I snagged it. Super comfortable to hold, and very sharp. Only thing Ive done to it, is pull the back part off the case, so I could mount it on my roll bar, and gave it a flat grind edge of 25*/30*. I love it. Has a nice window breaker built into the back, and a lanyard hole.

    Well......I couldn't stand the BFG AT Ko2's. Same garbage as the older ones, just with a cool looking sidewall. Traction in Degraded Granite sucked. Traction on rocks sucked, and any sort of rain to the mix, and you may as well be on ice. They were marginal in sand, and picked up so many little freakin rocks, I sounded like Michael J Fox with tap dancing shoes going down a hallway anytime I got on the street.

    Yeah Chris, they look great. Curious about any road noise and if you notice any difference on your daily commute. MPGs and such. It is a really nice lookin tire. I like the aggressive look, without being over the top.
