Upper 600's. But they are about 6500 lumens with the 20". My piaas are around 1000.

Rims and tires look good too.

I've heard good things about rigid. If had money coming out of my *** I'd get this (the roof mounted light bar)

That's really nice but BIG $$$. That's probably the 50" at $1600.

Note: That bar is around 16,000 lumens!

Your truck turned out awesome! I've always wondered how one of those LED bars would look on a bull bar. And have you thought about taking off those running boards for a set of Go-Rhino or N-Fab nerf bars like this??

I think they'd match up really good with your bull bar.

I did think about it, but I like the wide platforms. They are pretty functional and they help keep crap off the cab. They aren't the best looking running boards, but I'll keep them for now. Maybe next spring I'll get tired of them and swap them for something polished stainless.

I just did a search on PIAA 520 issues. Seems the bulbs burning out are very common. Several posts on other forums about the bulbs lasting only 2 months.

One guy said he only uses them on the highway to avoid overheating issues. Really? Others said it is a vibration issue. Either way, they are going. Averaging 6 sets a year, that's about $360 worth of bulbs. Not real happy with PIAA.

My (hopefully) new Rigid bar estimates 50,000 hours of life compared to about 10 hours with the PIAA's. I think it will outlast the truck.

I just checked out the Go-Rhinos. They look great and I do want them now (thanks a lot) but I know my fiance would end up on the ground while getting out. Guess I'll just stick with stock.

Haha got ya, I'm ordering a set tonight. I'm tired of the ones I have because they are a pain getting in and out when it's parked at an odd angle like off road.... And they kinda took too street for my truck now
