    I just installed my new light bar from Defiant Products. (http://www.defianttruckproducts.com/) Its a very nice piece and it installed pretty easily. The finished is great and the welds look good.

    Feels sturdy too.

    I havent mounted lights yet, thats my next project.

    I will mock up some lights tonight but I dont know how to do wiring so it wont be complete for a few more days.

    Just so you know this bar is available in 3 or 4 tab configuration and they also ask you what lights you use so they get the bolt patterns right and stuff.

    Everything was great. Took about a week to be delivered and it came in a huge box and the bar was wrapped up really well. In fact, it took me like 20 mins to get all the wrapping off of it.

    All of the bolts and nuts and washers are included and instructions, although I dont think you really need them.

    I am very satisfied with everything.
