It is a pretty well known fact that I'm not a big fan of unnecessary LED illumination...LED light whips, colored LED lights to illuminate rooster tails, color changing LED lights under catwalks and/or decks...
So, these days I try to understand the huge lightbar on the roof of the truck thing. I can't bring myself to get it. I guess I'm getting too old at my ripe ole 28 years to keep up with the times, but what is the purpose of having enough LED lighting on your 100% street driven (except when you back up by a fire to sit on the tailgate when you're pretending to be Earl Dibbles, Jr.) 4x4 pickup truck to send a signal to astronauts on the fucking international space station? I saw an F250 a couple days ago with about a 50" bar on the roof facing forward and another one on the back facing backwards...and more small light bars in his bumper. Is that in case you wanna blind everyone in the remote proximity of your truck? Or do you really need 56,233 lumens of nastyness to unload some 2X4's out the back of your truck? And what is with the douchedicks driving down the highway at fucking high noon with their lightbars on?
I mean, I can understand if you have some kinda huge ranch in west texas with vast expanses you might have to check out at night from time to time, or if you do some hard core trail running and you need the lights, or on a camp truck...but whats with all the highway queens and their infatuations with truck LED's? Are they supposed to look good or something? Most of the time they are less visually appealing than the transom corner of a prodigy boat, or that ridiculous transom that that cottonmouth dude came up with.
Somebody please enlighten me.
