i would love to have one to mount on the front of my x, but couldnt afford one. just interested as to what happened with it. remember this from when it started and someone elses post led me to dig this up
Just simply amazing, and wouldn’t you know it, I just got through installing a GoRhino charge bar on the front of our ’12 Escape!
Sure do want to see this at work, some video of a 4 wheeling adventure lit by this incredible light bar. Oh yeah!
Have to agree with several of the others, I’m not saavy on a lot (ok, most) of the talk here, but you explained in an easy to understand manner that made a lot of sense, even if it was cappuchino with Irish Cream, still went down smooth and fired me up at the same time!
Thanks for the compliments DBCstm, I really do need to get some good shots of this thing in action. Its AWESOME on back-roads and even better in back-woods. It's just so cold and miserable here in Michigan right now that I have somewhere between zero and 10-100 on the desire scale to go out and clean the jeep up, take it out to the middle of nowhere and take beam shots.
If we ever get a break in the weather, I really will try to get some "Project Complete" shots and video.
Stay in the Jeep and do the driving while an ususpecting volunteer stands outside in the misery and does the filming! And in horrible conditions is when it really “shines” right? Come on, after all that work and now you have issue with the weather?
Easy for me to say, Central Texas is experiencing beautiful weather!
WOW, just found this thread amazing work. Im designing my own light bar and it seems like i might be able to squeeze out around 500 square inches for 10 leds driven at 3 amps and 2 hyperboost drivers . was wondering how much surface area you have on yours
Just about the same - roughly 500 sq. Inches. At full drive, the light will not stay cool with zero airflow - it needs at least a slight breeze through the fins. 2-3 MPH is plenty though, and then it will run at reasonable temps even in very warm ambient conditions.
