I'll put those on my check out list. The reviews; tho few, are favorable, but after poking through similar posts on TaoTronics I detect questionable quality control.

I think they weighed in at around 280 lb shipped. I would say the front 180 and rear 100lb. Then the winch at I think 90lb. In hind sight I would have but X code spring in the front instead of V codes If I had planned to swap bumpers. Overall I'm happy with the whole modification bumpers and springs.

I will be trying out these cheap-os. I picked them up randomly at O'Reilly's when grabbing some new headlight bulbs for the wife's car. Not sure what to expect, but better than nothing. They obviously aren't going to compete with Rigid Industries but its just another excuse to get out in the shop with the Ex!

This is what I have. 10" Led by Aurora. I've now run then 2 years. No problems what so ever.
I have since taken off the rack for the winter and have integrated it with a home made mount from the third brake light for temporary purposes until it warms up a bit then made a permanent mount. Kinda like my front mount.

Enough to set up camp with. I have them wired in on a separate switch.
I have been waiting for someone from behind to high beam me, like we always seem to get, but funny I have not had that since I put up the light.
Go figure.The front one lets me see a mouse on the highway at about 200 yards.

I've only used my switch once, and it was someone who really seems to want to taste my bumper. He backed off really quick for some reason

So as I posted early in this thread (with close-up pics), I have two LED light strips that are wired in as aux reverse lights on my Ex.
Well, I finally got around to taking a photo of the lights working, both during the day and at night...
Their light output is good, not as bright as other can be, but they have been great for my needs
Enjoy!

Those are brighter than I'd have thought. Thanks for sharing.

I have put in a few orders from them direct, but you need to go with min 10.
Have been flogging them off to pay for the ones I've used for myself. Out of 20 I've used 3, and still sitting on 4 of the 10" lights.
Been thinking of another order last few days to get more of the larger lights.
No problems reported at all from any.
