I love this X and have been dying to see it in person.

Hit me up and watch the South Central regional forum so we can meet up sometime to chew the fat or wheel. I'm thinking a M&G is in order for the TX/LA crew. :)

Sleeper, I've eyeballed your rig for a long time on TNX. Looking forward to seeing your future mods. And we should all definitely do a M&G sometime soon. OR hopefully we'll all be at nXm.

Yep, I missed last year's event as well and have regretted it ever since. I'm pulling out all the stops to make it to this year's Meet.

I'm about 1hr 10min away with no traffic. If I am going down that way, I may want to see if Peck is up for meeting up at his Pizza place/Pub also or maybe us all meet over there. :) Gotta see what's going on this weekend with fam. later today before I can commit to anything.

Very nice build sir!

thanks man! i've built it up, taken it apart, rebuilt, taken apart again, tried this, tried that and scratched my head. i finally think i have everything lined up to go for the final time. its just a matter of getting parts back from powder coating and reassembling everything then stripping everything off the X and putting the new stuff on.

with the 22" light bar you are looking at 400 Lumens less than the Rigid 20" bar and half the price.

Rigid seams to be built to take more of a beating and this is obvious with them being one of the top 3 LED producers in the offroad racing world. that being said i see no reason why the tough-lights wont be more than enough for anyone on this forum. the great thing is we have options. as most of you that know me know, i'm never satisfied with good enough or taking the easy path. if something can be improved upon i do what i can to make it happen on my truck, but i don't like wasting money on one part when i could use tha $ on something else. these lights caught my eye and i figured if they can pass my review, then they are a good buy for other members.

i'm not bashing on rigid in anyway, i love their products and have used them and will continue to use them. but not everyone has access to the funds required to go with their products. hopefully my review will give others an option that they didn't know they had.

after i've beat mine to hell and back i'll see how i feel about them. if i'm still confident that they are worth the money i'll see about starting up a group buy with them.
