    I just talked to the builder. If you want, he can build you anything you see in the pics, and more. The $260 would be for the '05 and newer light bar you see in the pics. He can add tabs, take off the tabs, what ever. He says he'll have eight of 'em done by the weekend.

    They could most likely ship early next week.

    That bar was made for an '95 I believe, with the flatter grille. It was fabbed up on my '01, and was made a little "loose", so it could work on then older truck. It fit, and looks better in person.

    It would be with the sides, unless you didn't want 'em.

    I sent the builder an em. I'm ready to paypal him for the light bar w/out any light tabs. My question to him was if there is a possibility to use a thicker guage metal and additional/reinforced bracing to the frame at the bottom....

    It's good to have found a builder for this bar. But, let's not get to demanding about modifications, sizes, yet. Yes, there are lots of us wanting to buy this bar but first we need to make sure that the builder has time to setup pictures, product info, contact, and selling information for us.

    Then, we can start doing business.

    Demand away. The builder is anxious to get his bumpers out there. Like I said earlier, there will be eight or so done by Monday. Light tabs take 2 seconds to add. As long as you don't want a complete redesign, slight modifications shouldn't be a problem. Of all the stuff he's built, these were the easiest to fab up. No bumpers to take off, they fit on the existing brackets, and they're not all that heavy.

    I'd email him if you want one. We're slow at work, and he has some time to build stuff right now. If we get busy, all bets are on the time frame to get a new one.

    Not a shady dude, so I wouldn't worry too much. Christian based business, and he wants to be around a while. His goal is to become as big as All-Pro someday, and he understands that he's gotta start small, and build a reputation.

    Same here! I just use my credit card (not debit) to make PayPal purchases. If anything goes wrong/scammed, you can do a chargeback! And, your money is returned right away. The sellers gets debited whether PayPal likes it or not! Buy smart!

    The bars are all painted. Working on powder coating, but not quite there yet.

    For those worried about being scammed, use a postal money order.

    I'll see if I can get some more pics of the bar, and post 'em up. Besides the bottom, and the mounting, is there anything else you guys want pics of?
