    Posted in two lightbar threads I know, deal with it....:D

    Now before you say anything, the baja covers aren't staying, they were just on the kits I bought. I just stuck the bar up there to get some pics and see what it would look like, notice the hose clamp.

    When complete, the lights will actually sit 1 to 2 inches lower than in the picture. I plan on grafting the subaru crossbar into the tacoma crossbar, I wish I could find an extra somewhere.

    I can position the lights anywhere I want side to side due to the clamping system. I may have to weld the 2 subaru crossbars I have together so it runs from roof rail to roof rail.

    On a side note, I have the Randy Ellis Sleekster in black, should I leave it black or paint it to match??

    It is functional, but I agree with the majority opinion above.

    I will be lower when finished, about 2 inches.:)

    Well it's nice to know that if I change my profession, I have a truck with the right equipment, a little red and blue film and I'm good to go.:rolleyes:

    Not even close to being done yet, but yes, it will be functional.

    What I would like to see, as far as light bars go, is one similar to what you find on a jeep liberty. The kind that fits right onto the top of the windshield
