I was wondering how you liked them. Do you think without the amber covers they would blind oncoming traffic? I'm still looking into buying them when I have the funds.

These have adjustments to aim from side to side and up and down, because of the brackets that come with it. And in and out. I don't think with the clear covers and aimed the right way, they would bother other people. And again depending upon your lift. I got the amber because of the snow and fog up here.

Hopefully the next G&M I'll be there to show people these lights.

No. They don't appear to do very many organized runs. The next one isn't until September. Maybe you have to be a "member" to be part of the others. I don't get it.

Yea I was reading up on that. Apparently you have to be sponsored and everything before can be a meme bet and I think you have to go in 5 runs with them. Idk it sounds a bit excessive.

It seems like a pretty traditional club. I'd like to connect with a club for some local wheeling. The tough part is you're usually "required" to do certain things which I'm fine with as long as there are enough events. My issue is most of these clubs aren't active enough for me and if they are they tend to be pretty localized.

I have been a member of a few clubs in minnesota quite awhile ago and speaking from experience, I personnally will not join any club that I was apart of back then. Most of the "good" members have left and the remaining members were not a family friendly group to say the least. Also the requirements for time is something that I personally cant do.

I'll take my trips with my JK or jeep buddies and have a awesome time over working my tail off for 1 trip and a sticker.
