The team added a full-length HELLA Black Magic 40” single row LED lightbar above the front roll bar, providing powerful illumination. Additionally, 3.2” HELLA Black Magic LED Cube lights were added to the front winch bar to spotlight obstacles and hazards.
HELLA explained it joined an impressive motorsports roll call on the Deegan Maverick R, which also included Bilstein shocks, Evo tune, Obor RocScraper tires, Method Beadlock wheels and PRP seats, giving Brian the best chance of finishing the race and reaching the podium.
