Wow,
those are cool as hell...

I'm thinking those are not it...I have the scrambler on my car (failed in one night by the way...)and his were nothing like it.I bought mine and had it laying around long after their 90 day warranty expired, so I'm screwed..The blue ones I saw on his car @ LS that same weekend glowed like a neon tube!! Pretty friggin' sweet!
YOSHI, WHERE ARE YOU!

are they led or gas of some sort? warranty - colors?

They have a big LED in the base with a quick disconnect fiber optic tube. I can take the entire whip and bend it in my hands until the ends touch. I've seen rails wrecked with these lights that caved in the roof and bent the mount tab, but the whip still worked. Not sure about warranty, i've never heard of anyone ever having a problem with them, and I know of a ton of people that have them..
colors are red, blue, amber, green, and white..
-
colors?
-
look up... ::)

that's HEAPS cooler than a string of LEDs!

yeah, and what about the dtsfab discount? better, do they come with white leds, then discs to change the color schemes or is the led color the color? did that make sense?

2 bills each. Shipping is over 20 bucks, that's a pretty good discount I think, not gonna find them cheaper anywhere else, everyone sales them for retail. If I could get enough people to do a buy in of at least 10 whips, I could prob. do them for $190 each, free shipping. I sell them for $299 installed to my customers....
the LED base is the color your stuck with, you cant change it unless you replace the base, but the fiber optic whip works for all the colors...
-

:o :o
-
:o :o
I basically charge $225 for the light with shipping, and $75 each to install, which includes the wiring, relay's fuses, etc.
-
that's a pretty good discount I think,
I was just poking....... i might be in. any other 10?
-
I'm in...... Those are sweet! 8)
-
8 more to go for the discount price.......

you guys only gettin 1 each? Hmmm,..didn't know people did that, lol......
-
Shoulda brought this topic up earlier, I just ordered 3 last Tues. that will be here this week, that would have dropped the total needed down...
-
Thanks Yoshi. I'll give you a call when I get closer to having my buggy done. I saw you cruising around at LS at sand fest and couldn't believe how cool those whips looked. The buggy didn't look to bad either. ;D Oh yeah are they eight footers?
-

6, the 8 footers are too long for dune use..
-
why is that Yoshi?
-
Just out of curiosity can you get/how much is just the base?
For instance if a person wanted to put two different colored bases right next to each other then swap the whip back and forth.
With these leds that change color different voltages it would be something if they made those next. I bet they are working on it.

Much cheaper here. http://www.sidebysidesports.com/fiopcochwh.html

not sure, I can ask...

I saw them at the sand sport super show, not as thick or bright but they aren't cheaper when you include shipping....
This too http://www.sidebysidesports.com/xmledofli642.html
Those are vision x, the ones I run are brighter. I use to run the vision then I got my hands on the edge (which bought holder) and they are a lot brighter. Even at that, I charge $75 to install each light for my rails, so if you check the price for that vision in a 6 inch, and deduct my $75 fee for installation for my 6" edge light, the vision is $25 cheaper..
doing the same thing with their 32" light bar and the one I offer they are $144 cheaper, but the prices on my site are retail, so I can come off that for some people.. ::)

BS-125 bux buys the 5/8"HD-6' long single color + 13.95 shipping.Compare apple to apples guys!

yerp, appears they are cheaper. Not sure if they are quick disconnect like the ones I run though. Someone should get one and see how they do, and if you can replace parts or not. I know the fiber optic whip on the ones I have are not the most expensive part, so if you break it somehow, it isn't much to replace that part and keep your base without having to rewire anything, but if the light is one solid unit, you would have to replace the whole thing and rewire it. Might wanna ask them if they can bend the light all the way over and touch the ends together, if they say yeah, then it's prob. a pretty stout product, and if they say no, ask them how far they can bend it safely.........
or, you can just not ask any questions, and buy it cause it's cheaper, because that's all that matters, right?...lol
-
Hmmmmm......... I prefer buying from someone who is willing to tell me something about the product. Even after his margins have been squeezed down to nothing. If I see Yoshi running something and selling it, I don't want to be the guinea pig so I will buy exactly what he is using. Not a cheaper imitation knockoff. I don't even want to risk it over a few bucks.
Makes you wonder how the advertising revenue keeps flowing around here.
-
why is that Yoshi?
The whips are very stout, so they are heavier than other whips and put more leverage on the mounts. People usually buy longer ones for sitting at camp or for markers...
-
Yours may be better .May not.I don't know one way or the other.I'll call when they open. I was just offering a possible alternative that you might be interested in if of the same quality and features.
-

People here, especially the administration, look out for the board as a whole, not just one person or a vendor, so master giving links to help the members find possibly cheaper products is a good thing, in both this product or any product, although I think the way he went about it was un necessary. I would have just posted, "here are some other links", and when the incorrect pricing was stated, I wouldn't have called BS, I would have just said how much the price actually was, but that's just me. ;D
If someone wants to buy a different product than what I sell cause it's cheaper, it doesn't hurt my feelings. If the product is better than what I offer and cheaper, and holds up, maybe i'll switch someday because someone else was the guinea, but for now, I stick with what I know works and what I like. This is the second brand of light whip I have ran, and I love the new product, even though it cost me $100 more than the one I use to use, and pictured below. I saw 3 similar brands at the SSSS, all cheaper, but I stuck with what I have because they didn't look as well built, or as bright....

Nothing personal was meant.I just type what I would usually say in person.BS to me is like saying "really?". No need for anyone to get all bunched up. Nor are we going to start telling people how things should be phrased here. For the record if any topic degenerates to the point of anyone telling anyone how to phrase a question or response that post will be removed.
Now back to the topic.
-
I called the place and am awaiting a return call.Hope to have some info soon.
-
you da boss, boss :police:
-
I KNOW what you have is good.Just curious if these are the same or equal in materials and guarantee.Never hurts to check out options.

What advertising revenue?LOL!!! This site is about exchange of good info not advertising revenues. SURE ,we want to make a few bucks ,at least enough to pay for the site per year ,but profit is not the motive for us being here. Learning all we can is tho.
-

Agreed. Doesn't hurt to look around.... You buy the cheap one and let us know how it works....... I am getting Yoshi's. I am supporting him so he will stay around, and I can suck all sorts of information and experience out of him for my upcoming build. ;D ;D
-

True. I would never want advertising dollars to get in the way of the truth...... Does this mean we won't be seeing a Don's add anytime soon?? :P ::) ;D
-
Might not real soon.LOL!

Ok got a little info.Units with the quick release 6' mast are182 approx + shipping. I'd just buy from yoshi no doubt.He's close enough to burn his shop down if I'm disappointed.Hehe. Ones with threaded masts are cheaper by far. Yoshi,I'm ready to buy one of yours just cause I like ya! Blue. When you want the money and when will it arrive?
-

like I said, too bad we didn't do this a week or so ago, I would have been able to add 3 to the list (which just showed up an hour ago). I think I have a few deposits coming in, if I do i'll get some more, and this was just posted, so hopefully by the end of the week enough people will be on board that we can get the order for 10. Soon as we have enough people, everyone can just send me a check and i'll order them all at once...

-
Watch out Master's got "Got plenty of other whips" :m :u :m
-
how come nobody mentioned the ones in the link are color changing and Yoshi's are not? All else being equal, ability to change color isn't worth anything? just asking.
-
Yeah and I'm willing to use them!!!!!!

Those in the link and color changing are not quick disconnect.
-
If everyone that said they wanted one is still in, I need 2 more now, so that gets us to 7. I believe I have a payment coming in for another one this week as well, which puts us 2 short......
-
Make that 6.I'm cancelling mine.

Yoshi
Are these lights a direct wire in to 12v? Or is there some kind of a transformer or relay needed for the wiring? I have a pair of the brand X and have 12V fused wires run to them. Would I need any additional junk to hook them up?
-
Was.
That's what I meant, I wasn't sure if I was taking 1 or 2 off the list....

Nope, you just run a hot and ground wire to the LED with a switch inline of the hot wire..

Yoshi..drop me off the list..I beat my Arizona Whip back into submission....gunna give it one more round..... ::)
