    Hello everyone.
    I've always liked roof lights but I don't like the flash of a 2 row 50 inch led light bar, and I thought the Z71's look nice with the two bed lights over the bed bars.
    I drew up plans on AutoCad for an OEM looking light bar and had some steel parts cut on my waterjet and welded up and painted.
    These are designed to BOLT ON to the EXISTING roof rack mount holes!!!! no need for drilling, welding, or riveting.
    I personally think it looks good, and I was wondering if anyone else would be interested in buying this because I will make a few if people like it. Everyones got their own opinion so I'm doing some 'market research' before fronting to cash to build a few and throw them on ebay...
    Shown here with 11inch lights, but I would offer these in the Rough Country Blacked out style 13 inch lights and i would like to make a second style, with Four of the 6 inch lights....
    give me your thoughts plz.

    I'm not a roof top light guy, but these are the best looking I've seen. Would like to see close up photos and maybe some night shots at some point.
    good job.

    I think it works. Could you post some closer pics of the attachment detail? Would it work with an OEM roof rack installed?
