    The wiring is the hardest part. Holes and pulling, splicing etc... Man my fingers are raw right now.

    Heres mine, it's a 30" okledlightbars.com double row 14,400 lumen bar. Works excellent!

    Mind if I ask what that bar cost?

    Mock up of my second bar. 30" 5w single row, 8* spot pattern (wanted a narrow beam, thats why I bought this one, and it was on sale) the 40" on top takes care of the wider beam pattern stuff.

    So how did that work out for you? I tried that once with a Rigid 6 Inch SR mounted on a piece of square stock across the frame. The plan was to have a 6 inch on each side of the license plate. The beam pattern ended up being this tiny square cause it was set to far back and the grill acted like blinders. It was useless and I removed.

    So you cover up your plate for the picture, but you have the plate fully displayed in your signature which appears in every post you've ever made on TW? That makes perfect sense. :D

    Idk, something to do with somehow seeing where they live and people being paranoid they'll get tracked down and get their shit stolen. I never worried about it.

    yeah yeah yeah oops. i also posted it on something where I care about my plate being shown

    Looks great, How did you attach the stuff? self tapping screws?

    Not sure. I may wind up making a mesh grille to match my upper. I havent actually bolted it down or wired it up. I have a feeling the 40" may over power it and im tempted to move this bar to the rear but well see

    Looks good, BUT I hate to tell you this now - Looks like you should have stepped up to the next size for the bar. You would have less bracket and more light ;)
