I'd call them before I ordered it. I know sites will say they have it, but then they really don't.

Also, check to see what amp alternator you have. I have the 130amp and as long as the truck is running, my amps don't drop down below 13 volts.

The discontinued lights are the KC Rally 8" 150w ones like I have - Big lights, throw a huge beam of light a long long ways - fantastic.. I -may- be getting rid of them in the near future though if anyone is curious... have some different plans for my front end involving a few pieces of 2" right angle steel and lots more lights

see that is something that i want! But, the shipping to germany on one of those since its one piece is like 500 bucks or more! not really worth it for 6 months IMO.. i may just buy this kids headache rack and put them on top of that.. not sure yet..

haha.. i really want to get a roll bar for her, but the shipping on one is just so damn outragous! although, i havnt been able to find one for less than 400, so Thanks to Seed60, I may just be able to bear some shipping cost if i can get that one.. i figure if i spend 150 bucks on the bar, then ~350 for shipping, im spending about what it would cost for a new one.. which is what i was going to spend anyways lol..

Same here. I use my ps3 to play my blu rays and the Panasonic for the surround sound.

Let me know about shipping and If I can't get ahold of the guy I know selling one I'll sell ya mine and just find another one down the road for me. I'll be gone for 6-8 months anyway so I won't be able to use it. Your going to have to fab up a bar like mine so you can mount more then 2 lights on it. Its getting powdercoated gloss black now because I didn't like the result of the last attempt.
