BryGuy Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 Looks awesome so far. 12Volt Guy's stuff is very nice. I love the custom dash/gauges.

Texas/Canadian accent) lol Good talking to you Bear. I was going over our logistical list and figured between Bob and I, we should have every piece of equipment imaginable with us, so no worries. I was feeling a little left out so I decided to post up a build thread in the next few weeks so everyone can see what the three of us are putting together. Gonna wait till it's rolling so I don't have to worry about updating it all the time. Bob will tell you, I'm bad about taking pictures! So, as a member of the group now........ GET TO WORK! :D[/quote'] You gotter man......I tell u what eh............I am looking forward to working with you as well my friend!!!!

Da_Bear Posted December 2, 2011 Author Share Posted December 2, 2011 Nice little "present" showed up from the great folks at JW Speaker. All the forward lighting is handled by 3 Pencil beam LED TS3000's and 2 Driving TS3000(just waiting for the arrival) along with two of JW's 8900 headlights. The TS3000 lights throw a sick amount of light out as far as 500 metres!! Thank you John and Vincent!!!:smokin: SO we just had to burn up a home for the TS3000's...........

cody4359 Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 where did you get the lights? i did a quick search and saw one forum get a quote for $500 per light. the headlights look killer but not for 1k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Da_Bear Posted December 2, 2011 Author Share Posted December 2, 2011 where did you get the lights? i did a quick search and saw one forum get a quote for $500 per light. the headlights look killer but not for 1k I am a dealer for them and JW sent them to me direct as a sponsor!! 500 is a wee bit steep in my books but they are expensive.....but truthfully the are worth every penny and once you have a set in your hands the construction of these lights speak for themselves!!! But 450-480 for the TS3000's is about where they sit price wise each and the headlights can be had for around the 500 mark. Take a look at DOT approoved HID conversions and these lights are in the ballpark price wise with WAY better longevity/durability, power consumption and in my experience better light!!! PLUS the JW's come with a warranty that so far is unbeatable by the HID providers thus far with a 4 year 40000 hour coverage on the lights(excluding lenses of course)!!
