I, too, have had great success with my Opt7 32" light bar in my grille. Just under four years old and lights the road like I need it to, and throws light really far.

Looking at two baja pods to put in the rear though, not solely for backup lights, but will undoubtedly be used for back up at times as well as when I'm out working behind the truck at night.

Ok pulled the trigger bought a Baja design s8 20 inch and a set of rigid 4inch flood
the 20 will be inside the grill but torn between the rear rack or the front hood level thanks all for your help

I think you'll only get what your asking for is if someone actually has tried multiple brands to get something that works right. I've had a Caliraisedled 32" grill bar for a year and its done great. All I have to do is clean the lens every month or so. The research I've done shows that Baja ditch lights seem to be the best bang for your buck but I haven't pulled the trigger yet. The beauty of modding your rig is finding what works best. Many people don't want the trouble or the money wasting process when it comes to making decisions but thats part of the battle. You have to try and re-try sometimes to get it right. We make those sacrifices to try things. Good luck with your decisions.

So true thanks for the replies

Right now I have the Baja S8 30” combo light bar and it’s a real nice bar with a good output. Before this bar I had a Black Oak led 30” 6 watt combo double row bar with the Rago behind the grill mount. I switched bars because the double row Black Oak wouldn’t fit in my bumper and I had to go to a single row bar to accommodate the light bar opening. The single row Baja almost puts out as much light as the Black Oak double row with it’s bigger led’s and reflectors. When I was running my Black Oak bar on multiple occasions I was out with a friend of mine who has a Rigid 40” bar, I believe it’s a sr, and my 30” Black Oak seemed to put out more light than his 40” bar and he griped about it a couple times. If for some reason I need another light bar in the future and I have room for a double row bar I would get another Black Oak 6watt bar. If I only have room for a single row bar I will probably stick with Baja. I think the Rigid bars are over priced for what you get from what I’v seen. I still haven’t been around anyone with KC’s so maybe after I see some of them my mind could change.
