We have been asking for answers for a long time, and only been given incomplete information in it's place.
Not a single person I know is afraid of a wolf on an individual level, which is what I have heard a lot from others not living in wolf country. We are scared of the consequences of doing...
We were short on time and there were a lot of people with questions just as valid as mine. I challenged them on how information is disseminated and why there are contradictions between public-facing information and rancher-facing information and why every step they take is reactive to wolves...
We are producers in that part of the state, I have had CPW on site visits, and I attended the CPW Wolf meeting in Kremmling today. I understand the chances of an 'in the act' interaction.
I do not disagree with that sentiment. I'm just repeating things direct from CPW as of this afternoon and doing my best to keep personal opinions out of it.
The state will not issue a preemptive lethal take permit at this time, based off December. Livestock owners have been covered for 'in the...
Lethal take under 10(j) is authorized if a livestock owner/agent thereof catches wolves in the act of chasing, biting, attacking, etc... livestock that a reasonable person believes would kill the livestock (cows, horses, sheep, goats, etc), livestock herding animals, or livestock guardian...
You are the only person here talking about retrofitting new bulbs into existing housings, which is almost always a recipe for trouble since the lens/reflector is designed for a certain output & pattern. We are talking about complete lighting systems from BD, the majority of which do not carry an...
Get the winch, it won't be used as much as lights but when you need it you will really need it (if you're serious about getting in/out of bad places or find yourself alone in the snow a lot). You could skip the winch bumper, go with a hidden winch mount, and BD makes complete kits with mounts...
I read his articles, and while they have some valid info for older style lights, he frankly doesn't know what cutting edge lighting is or what modern LEDs are capable of in reference to aftermarket lighting like we are referring to.
Edit - I went and looked at his product page. You can judge...
Top of the line is SwitchPros, with sPod and maybe one other brand I'm blanking on right now being the closest competitors. At this point in my life, I am a one-and-done kind of guy so I go to brands that reduce the chance of me having to come back and re-do the work. SwitchPros has proven to be...
Winches and bumpers are always a good thing to have. You could also look at a setup like the Linkable XL Squadrons Kit (vehicle specific) or Standalone Kit. The biggest benefit of these over a bar is the ability to aim the light pods individually (can arc them for horiz adj, 45* vert adj) to...
I like amber for fog, and it's a toss up for clear or amber for a ditch light (I'm guessing you're putting this at the bottom of the A-pillar/windshield frame?). I prefer to selectably push lots of white light in front of me and then use amber for fog/ditch/forward peripheral, I have found that...
I have a background in desert racing/fabrication, and currently live in nowhere, Colorado. All of our vehicles have amber Baja Designs SAE fogs at a minimum. One has BD S2 SAE in clear for DRLs/aux fogs, which in conjunction with the factory headlights is sufficient. We may add LP4s in a combo...
I'm not reading all 11 pages of this thread, but from what little I've read I think if you post in here you need to at least step up and have your state listed in your profile.
Upper & lower ball joints, new sway bar end links, new tie rod ends (look at all the rubber boots, check for tears/weeping grease from dry rot). Check your CV boots on both axle shafts as well. When you change your ride height with that shock setting you will need a new alignment too, might as...
We don't have any, but my friends that do have e-bikes & hitch racks have had lots of issues finding a rack that is durable enough to carry the weight especially when on rougher roads & extended off the back of a pickup. My starting place would probably be a dirt bike hitch carrier, modifying as...
