I was wondering about these GJ lights, but someone commented on another thread that having this light means that the guy behind you can see your truck through the dust and not rear end your ass. $1000 light is good insurance against having a wrecked rig hundreds of miles into Mexico...

The logic is rock solid and the cost is small (compared to damn near any other mod you can do on a Raptor). Going to slot this in right behind a Power Stop brake kit.

I run the GJ Motorsports Rear Brake/Amber set-up. It's the best option on the market IMO and no drilling plus it comes complete with a wiring harness so it's plug and play. Yes, it's not cheap, but that's typically how things work for the best. My Pro Eagle jack cost way more than a Costco jack too...When it comes to offroad equipment I would always rather spend more and only have to do it once! Good luck OP.

What is the real difference between the S2 and Pro lights?

I have the Pros. Lots of snowflakes behind me complain about them being too bright. I would probably opt for the sports if I was to do it again but when the dust really hits I'm sure people will appreciate the pros.

I went with the S2 Sports on my ride, all around. So my cargos are S2 Sport which are PLENTY BRIGHT for seeing behind me. If I could do it over again, I'd PROBABLY go with S2 Pros for my chase lights.

S2 Sports would work great in say rain/snow places but after coming back from Rausch recently I wish I had S2 Pros so they'd be really bright through the dust. You could still make out S2 Sports but Pros would have been a LITTLE better.

The goal is NOT to light up the trail behind you with a nice clean pattern with chase lights, it's to let the guy running up on you SEE you so he avoids HITTING you. This is why almost all of the chase lights ran, are amber. As it's the best color choice to cut through bad weather.

If you REALLY wanna do it right, do the GJ Motorsports brake light + a Baja Designs RTL bar which you control. This way if you are running slow you can throw the blinking light on. It's an indication you are going slow so that someone coming up on you KNOWS you are slow.

We don't sell a lot of RTL bars until race season, then they fly off the shelves.
