I got one of those little fuckers for my buddy for christmas last year after seeing how much abuse your streamlights suffered. Its quite skookum, but does run through batteries fairly quickly despite being LEDs.

This was the email to streamlight:

quote:

A friend of mine is on-site in a field in the middle of Nebraska right now, working on an old truck he's attempting to get going and drive home.

Last night he had some bad luck, his old Jeep that he drove there had a gas leak that ended up burning the truck to the ground. Hot enough it melted the aluminum intake.

This morning he was sifting through the charred debris and found, completely intact and functional, his Streamlight Stylus Pro. Needless to say, he is beyond impressed.

I'm forwarding the pictures he sent me, and his contact information.

Or Rob isn't allowed allowed to reply with the weight of the company behind him and talked to Sally in promotions to see if they could send something out on a "mislaid" promotion.

E: the Streamlight reps I've interacted with have all been outstanding folks, with a knowledge the doesn't come from shilling for the guys that write their paycheck, but an actual love for their product.

EE: found one of those AAA Streamlights sticking up in the bowels of the avionics wire bundles of a helicopter, and it worked and didn't interfere with poo poo probably months after it got lost by the operator that owned it dropping it down there.

14", found that guy first, followed for the odd rear end cars, stayed for the spider eggos and not so manifesto, manifesto of getting poo poo together for you, big loving props to pulling it all out of your rear end like that... I made the drive from Bellingham to Ohio in July, drove a hunk of what you did in one day, that Jeeps dying wish was to get you to Nebraska, I swear those loving mountains were savage for a pickup...

You guys need some warm coats? I have a few lingering that I can ship out there.

I'm all set on coats, thank you for the offer. Cheap storable food is a good idea for right now though, doesnt need to be as fancy as that bucket stuff but food and nicotine supplies are running low. Gas too, I walked into town because the Jimmy decided either I smoke or I get gas to drive back haha and nicotine is a harsh bitch of a mistress. Currently warming up at the library

Is this forum open to non-members at the moment?

If so, you should send them a link.

I certainly now have a good opinion of Streamlight based entirely on The Cleansing of the Jeep and their response and it will go to the top of my list when I need a proper torch.

With the stock manifold they were incredibly easy to change out. Even when it was still in the van.


The headers might make that a bit more difficult however.
