2016 Snoball Preparations

I think You may want to back those lights up a little before they get scratched on dirt or something

We spent quite some time working out how to get both those bars in the opening. The BD bars are very deep and the way they are currently mounted only leaves fractions of an inch between them and the bumper.

Got the bumper installed today! Love the look! Tested the lights out, really wish I was more impressed by the BD bars. But the bumper and lights look

What about the BD bars didn't impress you?

I had a 20" hyperspot rigid that would literally impress me every time I turned it on! It didn't light up a huge area but the shear distance that hyperspot shined was amazing. I spent $1700 on the 2 baja bars and was told the 30' racer edition was the brightest, farthest shining light bar on the market. I just was expecting to be amazed by it and I'm really not. I had gotten a 30" hanning bar with the bumper, looked it up and was only $400 and I feel like that one even behind the grill is almost as bright as the BD

I have Rigid hyperspot cubes on my bike, they shoot light VERY FAR!
but not out to the sides at all, you really need a combination. Maybe those BD may be better overall for that? The ones I saw at TMX were brighter than Rigid which really impressed me!
I do want hyperspots for my truck though.

Anyone use a set of those traction mats last year at any time? Was wondering if they are worth it. I know there are a few versions like the Smittybilt Element Ramps and the TRED units

yeah, @Rookie had a set I think, didn't work as I recall

Wanted to try some on the prerun for @shooterAMG's frame deep extraction. But was told they would break under the weight of the truck.

Sounds like they are not worth it then.. Good info as always

@rap67 had them. We tried a few different extraction methods. Ultimately used the winch. Personally, if it looks like a slightly difficult extraction I would use the winch. Couldn't get the tires to grab the mats and go anywhere. Jerk straps tended to get the puller stuck as well. At one point delta had three trucks in a row with winches pulling each other out. Lol

We did awesome in Yeti with the Dynamic Recovery Straps. I was able to make quick work out of a few stuck vehicles with it. Its not for every situation but did work well in many
