Not a fan of light bars. However, at least this one isn’t above the windshield where it will 100% blind you when it reflects off the hood.

Not a fan of this one to be honest - I much prefer the stealth light bar that sits behind the grill from Altiq:

It’s also half the price!

Its 1/2 the cost for a reason. Its fine I guess but the LEDs are inferior and the lenses are as well.

I think its awesome. Would i prefer it behind the grill? Yeah. But, the CREE LEDs, the Raptor color backlighting, and build quality are top quality. Don't buy cheap Chinese shit.

It’s pretty awesome! I have an another one coming Friday to mount on the chase rack. I also have the ditch lights, grill lights, chase lights, backup lights and the Raptor splash on the mirrors. all the products are high quality.

Big fan of the stealth install but I have read posts from multiple users here saying they had to modify the center radiator bracket to fit it.

I did not have to modify anything to install. However if I recall correctly, been over a year ago, that when I went to set the light in it looked like I was going to have to do some cutting. Then realized I had the brackets on the wrong sides.
If there is a 50/50 chance of making the wrong choice I typically make the wrong one at first.

The quality of the builds, the CREE LEDs, and the backlighting are awesome! How did you wire up your backlighting?

I’m not a big fan of all the extra lights myself, and 700 bucks for a light bar seems really high, regardless of the bulb quality. But that is my opinion. If you think its cool, go for it. Its your truck and your money. If you think it will make your truck look cooler and it makes you happy, then it will be worth it to you.

I'm not a fan of light bars either. I like lights with focused output that actually aid in vision.

If you get high quality lights/light bars that are used in the right way, they are phenomenal. I believe most of ones lighting needs can be solved with high quality ditch lights in white and a small (20") amber light bar placed low to the ground.

Ran all the drl off of switch one. Ran the white lights off of -5 and 6.
