    Yes they're treadwrights. I cant wait to start cutting and make these fukcers fit. My only problem is the holes that are gonna be left when I take my flares off, any suggestions on how to plug them? Other than bondo?

    Yea! Get a cheap set of previously owned flares, cut those up too to resemble the flat top flares like Jeeps have. As long as the tabs are al there you can modify em however. Or get a pinstripe to cover them...:rolleyes:

    special parts??? its just one seal LOL
    i can gather some rocks, n we can plastidip those. then get some cement from lowes, mix'em all together n stuff them in. then silicone the whole thing. and then get some industrial heat-shrink wrap n slap some on there. i mean, its a start.

    wat u think guys, i've been doing some research on making an LED light (bar). it seems pretty simple but the different types of components are very confusing. so many options n varieties. do-able?

    Yup, the good ones are expensive, specifically if you set them up the right way with the correct power and such...

    Word, I'm down to experiment with building a set, I have some basic left over lights, in flexible strip that aren't powerful enough for a true bar, but can be used for experimenting... Build a light bar day.

    Buying in bulk will make it cheaper, I'll also check and see what I can get through our vendors at work, we don't pay retail for some stuff and if it's a bulk order it might drop to a decent price... We can order small boards and 5, 8 and 10mm lights for testing then house them and go from there... It's gonna def be interesting.
