I recently installed limb risers alongside my rigid lights to my Gobi stealth courtesy of David.

Those rigids look great.

Can you angle the two outside ones?

Sorry for the crappy iPhone pics. These are taken at the target parking lot. I'm sure trail pictures will paint a better story but here goes.

Headlights only


Rigid's up top

I dont even want to think about how much money you have into all the lights tho..
How much better do those d2's work than your 968's?

I switched to the D2s to match my rack lights. My wife also complained about the obstructed view of the 968s, so I guess I HAD to upgrade

Initially, I felt the D2s were brighter then my roof lights but I realized they are angled too far downwards and I was getting reflection off of my hood.

Default Quick disconnects worth $150???

I've had my rack for a month now. I find that it adds about 5 minutes to remove 4 bolts, loose the sway bumpers and to tilt in order to operate the roof. Same amount of time to put it back, so an extra 10 minutes a couple of times per week as I adjust for rain and sun here in Pennsylvania. The GearWrench is my friend more making this less painful.

Can anyone comment who ran for a while without quick disconnects and who now has them? $150 is a good bit if it doesn't dramatically improve the time.

Thanks!
