Help me decide! Both Chris (PMW) and Mike (THOR) are giving me a good deal on them. The THOR one's have the rear metal boxes for lights. I can get the THOR one's for about $60 more, think it's worth it?!? However I'd have the $$ in the LED lights aswell. Or I can go with the PMW one's and just get a set of metal light boxe's down the road. What would you do?

PMW





THOR

i like the PMW option better.  but that's just my opinion.


i modified my PMW for my tail lights, but i needed a custom setup to keep the lights tight to the body

I like the Thor cause of the built in tailight ,but like the PMW cause it has lower gaurds.Both look pretty good. Whats the specs on them as far as thickness.

thor is 3/16" which in my opinion is overkill and just unnecessary weight.


 


PMW is .120 (approx 1/8th) which is a good compromise between strength and weight in this application

Tough call. I like the THOR ones personally. I wonder if they would fit my MJ?

I don't like either of them. It's a Jeep, not an M1 tank.


That's just my opinion and it shouldn't amount to jack squat.


That being said, I would go with the Thor because I like the integrated taillight design.
