As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.
When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.
Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.
Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.
Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.
Thanks for your patience and support!

Also any update on the hi low version of this light?
I have a 610 mask taking up space in my garage, and am thinking this would be a great light for the TXC.

8 Huskys to Cabo, 2-3 hours nightly for a week. The LED lights got raves from everyone. I had no problem up to 55 mph off road at night, and up to 75 mph on road.
IMO they are the perfect compromise: Lightweight, compact, plenty bright, good price, super durable, and even a pinch of bling.
Two thumbs up.![]()

xymotic;73139 said:I don;t think you can dim a LED. They are solid state, on/off.
You'd have to turn off several of the bulbs, which would change the light pattern, and you'd have to mod a circuit board.

Also the LED light is not on the sight!
danbartol;71272 said:The light George uses looks like a Rigid Industries 4" "E" Series LED Light Bar.
According to their site it's dimmable. I wonder if this function could be used to make it more of a High/Low beam light, and more road friendly!

check his math though - the old guy adds up stuff by hand for hell sakes!
light is first rate!
