After we completed the long arm kit we tried it out. The jeep handles totally different in an awesome way. I am really impressed with the difference in handling and the issues it corrected.
good to hear. had i not had to work i wouldve gone with ya to CT.

Olympus' LED bars are IP67 compliant, which means they're sealed and pass every durability test except submersion to 200m. They told me they would pass that test if they had somewhere to do that test.

Rugged is also a whole other price bracket. That's like comparing Zone to Clayton.

Yep. Nobody has told me anything that's actually wrong with them except, "I don't like them," or, "Someone I know doesn't like them." For the price, I still plan to buy from them, assuming Nick gets his light bar.
