Interesting. Mine came well packaged, but from different mfg's, I knew I was taking a chance but wanted to buy a single. Some crappy casting on the one pair, but I cant complain too much for the price.

Agree. The lights all come from the same location in China, from what I can tell. Worth the money for my usage, and still going strong. Crazy bright....

Those are ARB knock-offs and while the "real" ARB versions are also made in under the Communist flag, the quality is decent for being made from Chinesium.

Certainly, mis-matched colours, casting marks or scratches and missing hardware should not be expected from the great ARB.

If you have the cash, spring for Baja LED's or HID's... Yes, they cost more than the Chinese copies, but they are made in the US and are leaps and bounds ahead of the competition. They literally manufacture a product that will last a lifetime.

They are definately not up to par with the ARB or Baja, but honestly those are out of my price range.

These are decent Chineseium for what I paid. Casting marks, crappy powder coat, but they were $75 too.

Didn't get much done. Started layout for the counter top. A lot of weird *** radiused angles on the stove... 1 3/16" radius corners?! Really?

Welding day yesterday. Made brackets to hold the kerosene tank for the heater. Blue was the first can on the spray paint shelf.... You wont see it.

Then started on the light bar.

Then got distracted for a couple hours.... It got dark. Turns out you can fit a headlamp over a welding hood :D

Welded up. Im going to have a long date with the grinder. I left the mounting tabs a little big as the bar was kinda sloppy in my 'jig'

Thanks need to measure to see if it will fit.

That's some creative tooobe bending skills on the light bar :D
Ha thanks, bends didn't come out in plane very well. Oh well, I just bolted it on as we are trying to get out of town and those same bolts hold the bumper on!

Once the weather clears up a bit! Truck will get parked on the other side of the driveway, it's just parked next to the garage to work on.

You just solved my dilemma as well. Great find. Thanks.
Awesome! It just showed up yesterday! You might be able to put it together yourself cheaper if you can find the parts. It's mostly an fittings

Yep those are toast. Collapsed easily by hand and didn't rebound at all...
