    Just wanted to toss this out there. I bought an Avid Light bar several months back. I didn't get light mounts for it and I'm kinda regreting it right now. I've been seeing people post about those Rigid Ind LED light bars. I wonder if that would be a good idea to try on an avid. That one guy that put it in his hood scoop turned out sweet! Anyone do anything like this? My only concern though is how one of those light bars would hold up to road debris. I travel alot and I already have "road scars" on my headlights and front bumper....

    I believe you can get rigid 10" bars with 1.75 inch attachchments. Avid light bar is a great piece of equipment.

    Go to Rigid's website and watch the torture test they put them through. It'll stand up to anything you'll see on the road. If you're considering Rigid, make sure you check out some of the competitors. TRS is selling one now, so is Slimcubby and both are cheaper than Rigid.
