    GoLight Install

    Have seen the IBIS spot lights on some trucks. Have also seen the GoLight. The IBIS are crazy money, if you can even find one. So, decided to go this route. Found one on Eb&% for $100. It is the halogen one. Would have preferred the LED, but for what I want it will be fine. It has the wired...

    Turning Up Injection Pump

    Seeing videos, etc about adjusting the IP for a little more power. For general use, is it even worth it? Looks like a fairly simple process to actually do it. Curious to hear from those that have done it. Here is the tag on my motor.
