80 Series Group Buy - LED Light Bars

[2000UZJ]

this it's what I thought I need ..

Nick this will work with your 21" bar .?

Christo it will work with the ARB lower tabs ?

Ill call Slee over lunch tomorrow and see if he has the measurements of them mounted on a Slee Bumper. I would think so, the only difference is you may need shorter bolts for these mounts. The ones on mine are slightly longer and won't allow the bolt to fully tighten onto a thinner mount. I will swing by the hardware store after work and find out what bolt will be needed.

Thanks Nick .. my only real concern it's if you bar fit's in there .. if fit's within the tabs bolts and holes can be easily solved ..

Alrighty. Now that I can sit down for (12hours). The shipment was so large it was unable to fit on the aircraft for the 20DEC flight. It will be making the 25DEC flight into Chicago and arriving 28DEC. I will be flying back from Colorado Springs (another plane ticket)to Chicago to ship them out Jan 1-3. I have received several emails regarding people not being there and having to hold the package until they arrive. That is fine, you will be home when the lights arrive at your door now . Problem solved. I had a earlier order come in tonight and was able to get a few shots of the light bar (21") with all the included hardware and connectors you all will be receiving. This works out better for most of us. The number of packages will be much lower than shipping them 24DEC-26DEC, so shipping times will be quicker. I won't be juggling family time and shipping time. It will give me 72 hours instead of 24-48 hours. I just got done with a mess of a work week and mess of a 72 hour trip, 4 hours of sleep in the past 5 days...I'm hopping on a plane at 7AM in the morning and then driving 1,000+ miles with a trailer in tow to Chicago, than off to CO, than back to Chicago, then down to FL, then back to ATL...WHEW!!! As for the Cree vs Epistar. From what I saw tonight. the 21" Cree puts out more light than my 32" Epistar...I'd say a nice bump in output

Here are a few pictures of the light bar (21") + hardware:

This is my next journey. 5,589 miles, 89 hours, and 54 orders to ship inbetween

I can't wait either! Fun times for sure up there.


All group buy participants are paid. Now waiting for shipment to land in Chicago for shipping to you. I have posted a full update a few posts up.

Nick I know it wont happen soon .. I'm not in a rush, couple questions ..

1. What came out from the talking with Christo and hes 20" bar bracket ?

2. are you including male and female parts of the connector .?

3. Which it's the amp draw of your 21" bar .?

 

[spressomon]

^ 8.2amp draw for the 21" bar...per his first post on this thread. If connectors are not provided looks like they're just commonly available Weatherpack connectors.

Similar to a weatherpack, but not the same. They're 9006 connectors, and I have been told they are included.

 

[SanDiegoCruiser]

Nick are you doing all of that driving in your Cruiser? If so, that's over $1500 in gas!

 

[jynx]

Nick, I am looking forward to my lights. Have a safe trip and a very Merry Christmas.

 

[KlausVanWinkle]

I had to cancel my invoice to get a different size. I'll have to claim one of those extra 42"ers.

 

[SanDiegoCruiser]

Nick, will this relay harness work correctly ( plug/play) with the light bars?

This will work perfectly. You can run a 32" and 42" off one relay. You will just have to add two way switches to each output lead to control which lights come on.


Updates on the shipment tonight. Sitting in Chicago, sick as a dog, throwing up and dizzy all day. Ate some crazy food last night. Didn't agree. But it was awesome!

 

[RolandFJ40]

Do we need a relay if its fused with such a low amp draw?

Depends on which light you choose.

I would suggest a relay on a 42". I run a simple + and - on the 32" with a 20A fuse. It's simple, works, and only 2 points of failure. The fuse and switch.

 

[RolandFJ40]

Ok I'll put a relay on the 42". I bought a 6 way fuse block and some rocker switches for my lights. Links below if anyone is interested in a decent priced option(s).

Ordered! Their cost of shipping is a little extreme, but the quality of this harness appears very high quality.
