    in terms of Nocholson? no. we work on bridges but are subcontracted by some of the bigger construction companies in this area.

    I am running LED worklights on my headache rack. I can check what brand in the morning. Those little ######## are BRIGHT. Blew my incandecents out of the water

    Edit: Huh, I didn't swear. Guess that's still a not G rated word...

    Ran into a guy over the weekend who had an LED beacon bar just like the state troopers (amber lights of course) and he had the white led work lights built into them just the same. That thing was CRAZY bright!!!! He said it set him back $1,200 for everything including the raised brackets and install. Sounds like a good deal to me.

    BTW, he also had his CB hooked up thru it and said it was fun yelling at 4 wheelers going down the highway when they cut him off or he'd tell them to quit texting. He said they would look around trying to figure out where it came from LOL

    I think it would also come in handy on job sites also as you could communicate with say a crane operator or riggers.

    good news is the rack came in. bad news is the mounting kit was not in stock and did not ship. sooo looks like i will be delayed. but i took some pictures from before we got it and today when i picked up the trailer.
