NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - Trailblazing food writer and beloved restaurant critic Ruth Reichl took the job (and the risk) of a lifetime when she entered the high-stakes world of magazine publishing. Now, for the first time, she chronicles her groundbreaking tenure as editor in chief of Gourmet."A must for any food lover . . . Reichl is a warm, intimate writer. She peels back the curtain to a glamorous time of magazine-making. You'll tear through this memoir."--Refinery29 NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY Real Simple - Good Housekeeping - Town & Country
When Cond Nast offered Ruth Reichl the top position at America's oldest epicurean magazine, she declined. She was a writer, not a manager, and had no inclination to be anyone's boss. Yet Reichl had been reading Gourmet since she was eight; it had inspired her career. How could she say no? This is the story of a former Berkeley hippie entering the corporate world and worrying about losing her soul. It is the story of the moment restaurants became an important part of popular culture, a time when the rise of the farm-to-table movement changed, forever, the way we eat. Readers will meet legendary chefs like David Chang and Eric Ripert, idiosyncratic writers like David Foster Wallace, and a colorful group of editors and art directors who, under Reichl's leadership, transformed stately Gourmet into a cutting-edge publication. This was the golden age of print media--the last spendthrift gasp before the Internet turned the magazine world upside down. Complete with recipes, Save Me the Plums is a personal journey of a woman coming to terms with being in charge and making a mark, following a passion and holding on to her dreams--even when she ends up in a place she never expected to be. Praise for Save Me the Plums "Poignant and hilarious . . . simply delicious . . . Each serving of magazine folklore is worth savoring. In fact, Reichl's story is juicier than a Peter Luger porterhouse. Dig in."--The New York Times Book Review "In this smart, touching, and dishy memoir . . . Ruth Reichl recalls her years at the helm of Gourmet magazine with clear eyes, a sense of humor, and some very appealing recipes."--Town & Country "If you haven't picked up food writing queen Ruth Reichl's new book, Save Me the Plums, I highly recommend you fix that problem. . . . Reichl is in top form and ready to dish, with every chapter seeming like a dedicated behind-the-scenes documentary on its own."--Soleil Ho, San Francisco Chronicle

Brighten up the dark wild
Color: 52Inch Lights +LED Pods+ Wiring Harness
My jeep came with a worn out set of these. In the big picture they were an easy replacement and allowed me to clean up the wiring mess in the jeep. The downside is they are terribly noisy driving down the road. They make great light in the dark wilderness. As soon as I'm ready for some paint correction they will be coming off.

Super Bright and Easy to Install!
Color: 52Inch Lights +LED Pods+ Wiring Harness
The Nilight ZH023 LED Light Bar Combo is outstanding! The 52-inch bar plus the two 4-inch fog lights put out an incredible amount of light—perfect for off-road driving at night. The spot and flood combo gives great distance and wide coverage, and the wiring harness made installation simple. Everything feels durable, weatherproof, and built to last. For the price and performance, this is one of the best lighting upgrades you can get for your vehicle.

very bright
Color: 52Inch Lights +LED Pods+ Wiring Harness
It fit my 2015 f150, but I had to extend the power cable because my battery is on the passenger side, not the driver's. I also wish it came with instructions in the box rather than on the Amazon listing.

Easy to install, and super bright.
Color: 52Inch Lights +LED Pods+ Wiring Harness, Color: 52Inch Lights +LED Pods+ Wiring Harness
Turns the darkest country roads into daylight.
Mounted over my windshield with the Nilight A-frame brackets.
I already have the upgraded LED light package on my Jeep, but they look dim compared to this light bar. I love it!!!
