    i started fabricating a light bar today, similar to the n-fab bar. ive got the brackets made but when i get done i'd like to finish the end of the bar off with some custom end caps. i want some pointed ones, like a spear head kinda. the only ones ive been able to find on the internet are round or flat. does anyone know where i could get some like what i want??
    ik its prolly not gonna be easy to find them cuz usually sharp pointed ends arent safe on the end of a pipe lol
    any help would be appreciated
    thanks.

    Don't know where to find them sorry.

    You know when you hit your shin on the hitch of your truck as your walking around it and it hurts like a mother? Imagine getting impaled by your light bar! Haha just sayin'.

    What happens when you are in a parking lot and someone impales themselves on the spike. Or if a kid runs into it.

    I get what your going for... but, mebe the headline, "Man Impaled on Toyota, Now In Emergency Care." , might be the final blow for our company... You might wanna consult the major stockholders before any such mods...

    i really dont see them being too much of a problem if theyre on a light bar...just make sure its short enough that the sharp points dont extend wider than the truck

    ps. if you see the headline "person impaled by toyota truck" you'll know it was my fault haha
