Thought I would share a few pics and one of the videos of the wife and I wheelin today in the Raptor. The other videos are still uploading but I got to try out the new GoPro the Misses bought me for my b day. All pics were taken with a Cannon t3i. These fire roads are in Cohasset Ca, about 15 miles north east of Chico ca

HDR Photo.

It is achieved by taking multiple exposures of the photo and combining them with CS4 or any other Program.

Thanks for the compliments guys. Ya all these photos were adjusted with an hdr program and "tweaked" by me. It was my first attempt at hdr. And ya. My wife was not pleased when I told her what I wanted to try with the camera. I can wait to edit all the good video we got from abusing this truck today! It was a ton of fun. More video to come!

is that LED light bar in the front bumper stock?
 
Posted by 9cobrasnake9 (Member # 575) on 2012-01-04 02:44 PM :
 
The light bar is made by rigid industries. Its a 20 inch bar that makes 8000 lumen and draws about 5 amps. My stock headlights on bright give off 700 lumen so it's a big improvement when using it.

Nice plates, nice truck, its great that you take a nice expensive truck out unlike hummers that dnt ever see dirt.

Also u need to watch out for that big stick you ran over, you could have flipped your truck over [patriot]

I just checked out Rigid Industries page. Those are badass, but EXPENSIVE! [Eek!] I don't think I can put those on my wheeler if there's a 80% chance they're going to get broken.

Check out there ballistics test on YouTube. That is correct. I said ballistics. These guy supply lights for our military and they are really tough. They are also one of the only companies that stands behind there lighting products. That is why I chose them. After the abuse I have given mine, as well as other peoples testaments, I think you would be hard pressed to break one. Check em out in YouTube. It's awesome. They shoot a 1500$ light bar with a shot gun and ak-47 repeatedly and it still worked. Crazyness!!

So if I smash it in on a rock, they'll warranty it? [Big Grin] I'll look into this further tomorrow. I'll have to hit you up the next time I'm in Chico for work so I can see these for myself in person!

I have had plenty of rocks hit it and no broken lense yet...Only time will tell I am sure!
