I got the Gobi Adventure Rack and ladder up - the install was easy and I love it! Now for the lights....
I've searched the Find button and gotten some ideas, but I'd really appreciate some "current" suggestions for lights for the front and rear.
What are your favorite lights (I'll probably wanna go with PIAA but I'd love to hear other suggestions as well) - and WHY?
Thanks!

I've always liked the delta lights that are on the X10 light bar, they are a very bright clear light. I have KC Daylighters on my brush guard, they work amazingly well. BTW Sean, I installed my LED light bars, 210 led's in the back, 40 in the front. heh You can see it from a mile away...you may want some if you sign up with hope.

Looks like she needs to adjust the aim on hers though. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gifhttp://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gifhttp://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

I bought the XTC with PIAA lights, both front and back. Love the back have them perfectly angled for reversing with confidence and tailgaters. The front are angled above the highbeams for a really long and clear view when needed, however, they are not super bright when compared to HID's or the Delta 10X or other larger lights, but they are a great height, clean look , out of the way and easy install.

I really like her "bright high beams." I'd mount her on my roof rack any day. And in my kitchen, and in the bedroom, and on the lawn............

In front I used 2 pencil's for long range and 2 floods that light up everything along side the trail or road (works great in deer country)

Nav - once again, I think I'll be copying your setup! You seem to have it so damn well thought out. You just posted exactly what I was considering, though I was going back and forth on the two center lights between pencils and drivers. Maybe one of each? Or do you think the two pencils are definitely the best setup as you have them and have been using them?
Thanks!

I use them almost daily all fall, I have about a 8-10 mile drive on logging and gravel roads on the way back from my treestand in the evenings.
Thinking about your question if I had to do it all over again I would go with pencils for the centers and the drivers for the outers.
