    This bar looks absolutely amazing. Chris, didn't think your stuff could get any better, but again, you went off & did it. Great work man. Looking forward to seeing more of these on the road to see what lights everyone is going to mount. :popcorn::bowdown:

    My bar will arrive on Wednesday, really excited to get it mounted up! What lights are you guys going to run on yours? I was looking into baja designs and lightforce but looks like they will be two deep. Now im thinking about going with a 10" rigid industries led light bar in the middle and i already have a set of dually's that i might mount on the outer tabs angled out towards the sides.

    Hey guys,

    An update on what I got. I have 5 of these in stock and ready to ship. All mid height, powder coated, and ready to bolt on. Let me know if you got any questions or you are interested in picking one up!

    Chris

    The tabs are spaced 8.5" apart and there are 4 of them. I am sure you could mount one with a little work.

    If I was doing it without messing up the powder coat I would get some 1.5" (1/8" to 3/16" thick) and bolt it to the existing tabs, then drill new holes for the LED light bar. If you take your time, you could paint it and it would look good. I can always make you one for a few extra bucks if you tell me how wide the mounting holes for the LED bar need to be.

    Or I have two bare ones sitting on my shelf I will be getting powder coated next week. I could do custom tabs for you. I would sell it to you bare for $15 off if you want too.

    Rigid industries also offers a clamp system for the light bars, that's what im going to use on mine. Chris i will post up my pictures once i have it mounted!

    Received my bar yesterday, looks great! Ups wasn't so nice to my box it came pretty beat up and I have one deep scratch on my bar luckily it's on the backside so I will just touch it up. I will post pictures once I install.

    Thats a bummer to hear they messed it up... Did you happen to take any pictures before you opened it? Those are insured for $100 so if you want to, you can file a claim with them and get $$$ to get it re-coated.

    Let me know if there is anything I can do to help!!! Glad it's an easy fix though, and I am looking forward to seeing some pictures!!!

    Hey all, these are some amazing light bars for a great price considering the workmanship on these things. Just saying.

    Yeah i snapped some pics before i opened, one end was completely opened up and i was afraid i was going to be missing a bracket or hardware. I just touched the bar up with some eastwood black caliper paint i had, the orange peel finish makes the touch-ups undetectable. I have my bar mounted up, i went ahead and installed my RI duallys on the outside tabs and it looks good with those, It will look even better with the 10" E series mounted in the middle. I will take some pictures tomorrow and post up.

    Chris -

    Just received my bar today - THANK YOU. And to repeat what others hav said - the orange peel look REALLY WORKS.

    I plan on getting this installed this week and will post pics. No lights yet - thinking about the Rigid LED as center and Dually's on the outside. Someone else posted a pic with a setup like this and it looked great.

    Thanks for the work & the custom license plate tabs to keep the NJ State Troopers from busting my cajones.

    Here are some pictures of the bar, i have the RI duallys on the outside tabs and a RI 10" E-series is going in the middle. Don't mind the black zip ties on the bracket in the picture had that there holding the lights pigtails until i wired them up, they are gone now.

    bar installed - now working on 10" LED and 2 Dualies for the outside

    Yes - I KNOW I have to move my license plate but Chis added tabs for that - just have not gotten it done yet.

    Ignore the black marks in the white paint - she needs a bath - also no time.

    Looks good, your going with the same light setup as me. My 10" Rigid E-series should be in on Tuesday so i will post pics once i mount it up. Is NJ very strict about the front plate? The bar doesn't cover the whole thing with the LP in stock location. So far i haven't been hassled here..knock on wood.
