very well made. Machined heat sinks/housings, stainless hardware everywhere , heavy duty wiring harness, amber pop on/off covers, light covers . 37,776 lumens each light

I might get flak - but these are better made than the big 9” ARB lights ……and these have a projector spotlight built in…..

not cheap - $425 CAD after taxes but these are gonna fun

im pretty sure they will not fit my heavy duty ARB bumper on...

In the past I've run BFG KOs a lot, on several vehicles. I was happy with a set of Cooper ATs and am really interested in the newer versions.

I'm at 70K + miles on my second set of Falken Wildpeaks. I did a five tire rotation until about 40K miles when I got lazy. They last as long as Michelans...

This might be the first jack that checks all the boxes for me.

My buddy and his girlfriend took a class, given by the group at the FAA Campus here in OKC. Since he and I do a bunch of stuff together, I figured why not and set off a course of studying materials from the Internet. Made technician pretty easily.

Decided that since the material was still fresh, I'd make the push to hit general before he did. Sent him a pic of the white copy when I passed and told him to get started. General was a...

Then my wife kept pushing for something large enough for all’s of us to be in.

checked out the Opus OP4 this weekend and it seems to check all the boxes while remaining something that could be garageable.
Anyone with any direct experience ? Pros / cons?
Tow ability and stability?...
