I like mine, I have the one with the reverse lights. Thats probably the thing on my truck that gets the most comments. It also makes people be able to follow you a lot easier, that might be good or bad tho lol.

I am also interested in one of these.

I have a couple questions.

All the light bars attach to the 4-way trailer plug correct?
How does the reverse get hooked up? I hate cutting wires on a perfectly good brand new truck.
Does the Recon? Fire and Ice? one stick on or screw/bolt on. If stick can I trust it to stay stuck?

Also I see Underdog has it for a price and I am looking at one on that e place for a little over $20 less. Underdog or 1/4 tank of gas????

Yes you just plug them into the trailer plug and then for the reverse you just tap into one of the wires in the reverse light, no cutting required. I have the Recon Fire and Ice and it sticks on but you can unscrew the bar from the mounts so you can get to your spare tire quickly. Mine was off of another truck and I'm still using the orginial tape lol, theres no way it will fall off, it has a lip that sits on the tailgate a little.

attaches to the 4way pin, yes
use a t-tap to tap into the reverse wire in the tail light, nothing major
it comes with double sided tape, but i took the tape pads off and used sheet metal scews because i put it on in winter and there was no way it was going to stick with my truck as cold as it was

You'd be suprised about the tape. Mine was on 05RangerXLT for 6 months and then we took it off and stuck it on mine and its still on. Its been in the teens for the last month regularly.

I definately noticed a difference when I got mine and people "backing off" when I had my turn signals on

oh and I got the one with the reverse lights and it's definately not worth the extra money, unless you just want to look cool while backing up, that's why I put on a set of auxilary back up lights

I loved mine while it worked. Mine either broke or the seal was bad, got moisture in it. I liked mine that is for sure.
