Hey guys Im looking into buying a tailgate light bar and want to see if anyone has bought this light bar and any pros and cons on it.

heres the website,
Recon Accessories: Part # 26416X - 60" "Xtreme" Scanning Amber, White, & Red LED Tailgate Bar

-AJ

 

Looks like fun..Recon is a decent brand name, but I know nothing about it.

 

Clay sells them for less and could probably put you in contact with someone that already has one installed.

Riffraff Diesel: Recon "Xtreme" LED Tailgate Bar

Should I contact clay through the website or on FTE?

Thank you for the help!

 

Ya no problem he's got them in stock.

 

I have the Recon White Lightning light bar and has worked flawlessly for over 2 years through all conditions. Definitely a nice product.

 

Have any pictures? I seen a truck a couple months ago with these lights under the gate. I liked it. But after looking at mine it don't appear there is enough gap between the bumper and gate to even see them once installed. Like only 1" or less with the plastic lip. Also, Is it a problem if I was to carry compost or mulch? The debri will fall down that gate crack and sit right on the light?

 

I installed lights in the gap between the bumper and tailgate that is centered over the tailgate. I haven't had any problems with them getting whacked with junk that falls from the bed. I'll have to post up a picture later.

 

Recon light bar has been on mine for 1 1/2 years ....no problems

 

They just plug into your tow plug right?

 

they say they do but why would you want a wire just hanging there when you can wire it in and have a clean look to them.

 

That is true. I just suck at wiring is all.

 

I wired mine by tapping into the running light wire that goes into the 7 prong tow plug. Just install a tap behind the plug and it's nice and clean.
