I am pretty sure someone on here bought that or one almost identical to it. It turned out pretty good too. I am sure they or someone will chime in.

There was another thread about this a few months back (can't seem to find the link now - anyone?). The general consensus was against them, but I don't know if anyone has any experience with them or not. If I recall correctly, it was just general dissent based on the ad, not on actual experience from anyone. Someone needs to buy one and post up their review (just not me :) :wink: :) ).

EDIT: Too slow on the keyboard I guess :lol: . I would be really interested in hearing anyone's opinion on this product.

Yep same one. Personally, I'd just spend he extra bit of cash on the real Rene light bar, if I were going to put one up here. The fit and finish is much better in my opinion.

Yup that's the one. And as usual my memory was not reliable :oops:

It looks like there are only a couple of members showing the thumbs down.

more than a couple would say its not good I am sure, why buy some crap that may fly off in a few months , heck you can find used ones even that have to be better than that is

I would let the guy who actually owns it say whether or not it is a piece before we go tearing it apart. It does look cheaper and obviously it is. But that doesn't mean it won't work for someone.

yes this is the exact same one that i bought. i have had no problems with it yet and have had it for a month and a half. it took about 1/2 hour to install. i used 10 10mm self tappers and a 2 part epoxy from 3M called 8115. and dont be scared to screw into your jeep, remeber if you dont, its not yours. hhahaha

sorry should've resized them

also i don not htink that these lights are a piece. 2 each their own. but i thought i would save some money and buy brighter lights for $200 cheaper then the renny lights.

That's Tom's other mantra, haven't heard it in a while. Means Cheap is Expensive.
