Well as i figured would happen my ebay light bars are showing why there cheap, starting to get a bit of condensation in them.
Im getting new ones, just trying to decide between Rough Country or OPT7, anyone have any input on either, or any other ideas?

I have a 12" rough country and as far as quality goes it looks like a Chinese light bar but I've had it for probably 2 years and no problems so far. It has decent light output and has held up well to Iowa salt and winters. If I were you I'd go with the radiance bars from rigid. They're cheap, look cool and should be good quality. They might not be a double row light but it looks different than the light bars showing up on literally everything these days. Just my 2 cents.

Neither. Get some Rigids, Vision X or KC. I do not regret my decision to get the duallys. The money you would spend going through another set of Chinese light bars would be better spent on a quality product.
If you're dead set on getting cheap bars, I'd probably steer away from the RC as well. I've seen quite a few of them with condensation issues as well. I'd say may as well go cheaper and get the OPT7 or even the eyourlife bars. Both of those seem to get good amazon reviews. I've read a lot of good things about Totron bars too, but more so in the ATV/UTV world than on trucks (which, they'd see much worse conditions on those than trucks anyway).
However, I'd still rather have a quality bar and not have to deal with these types of issues and is why I went with a Rigid bar when I swapped to LED.
Thanks for the input guys.
I missed the last 2 post before i ordered so... Good or bad i went with a 30" RC X5 Series this morning. Will let you know how it is.

I went with the 30" RC for the bumper and a 42" OPT7 for behind the grille. The RC definitely seems nicer but so far both work great. Haven't had them on long though. The light output is a very noticeable difference over the last bars.
Had a pretty bad hail storm last night. Truck don't fit in the garage but got it covered in blankets in time. Still got 2 small dings though.
just cleaned 5 months of hunting lease mud off mine.
