Oh man, that's going to be great when it's available. Can't wait to see the fabricated roof racks that people make for the KJ with this thing on them.

Thats gonna be some serious $$$$$$$$ though. If it is developed for race applications and xenon, it could break $1K (not exaggerating look at the prices of other HID race setups).

Those look perfect for what I'm trying to do. Going for as light as possible so I'll probably just use some aluminum to mount them to my Surco rack... if/when I may afford them, of course.

How much would we be willing to pay is the next question? Hella can be pricey...

That style light has been on the front of rallye cars for ever now. Very effective.

Off Topic

Notice how narrow the tires are?

Skinny tires go in snow.

On topic:

Too rich for my taste Im sure. Maybe in a couple years I can find a set on ebay for cheap

They do look slick though.

You have got to be kidding me........for that kind of money I will hire 1000 trunk monkeys to carry flashlights and extra batteries and light the whole track for me.

I'm halfway tempted to call the guy and tell him it's april 23rd, not the first.... that he forgot to push his calender forward when he came back from his vacation.

Wow. I guess that race teams can afford it.

I'll hire the trunk monkeys and put them in a trailer with bananas for that price. :lol:

Skinny Tiers = More Ground Pressure = More Traction.
