Cree isn't a brand of led bar.... There are tons of terrible light bars that use cree LEDs.

Yeah it's the type of led or whatever. Anything using Cree is generally more expensive and considered nicer than the cheap ones I buy now. I'm saying I payed more for something with the Cree LEDs and it was a waste of money

But that doesn't mean it was a good bar..... Just because it used cree LEDs lol. Probably used the oldest crappiest version of them. In which case no shit it won't be any better.

It was about a year and a half ago and I spent like 700 or so on both bars combined so I definitely didn't get the worst ones. But either way I regret spending that money and not getting a cheap one. So I'm going to recommend from my experience people get the cheap ones because there is no difference in performance

I mean have you actually tried both? I haven't heard anyone who has tried both say that spending the extra money made any difference

Honestly if you're looking to buy one and you're thinking of going the expensive route then just buy a cheap one first and see what you think before paying more for one. Haven't heard of anyone who regrets it in the last year or two. That was my plan so I bought a cheap one and liked it so much I never went back and bought a nicer one

Before buying mounting brackets, hook it up to a battery and move it around the roof to find the spot where the hood glare cuts out. On an extended cab, it should be behind or on the door line.

Sorry I forgotten to post the pic of it I just went ahead and made my own. Pretty simple setup but looks good. I've had it on for almost a month and it still strong as hell on there.

40" Rigid Radiance with amber backlight is perfect for my Ranger

Do you get any hood glare with it right up front?

OH! OH! OH! I'll take a guess. $ 350.00?

Sorry I just had to do it.

You can fit in a huge ass light bar and it is sucked down close to the windshield and looks great if you ask me

I got those mounts and by far my favorite of the ones that I've seen.
