    I'd buy a set of those if you wanted to make them (out of steel of course).

    OP: couple things.

    first: your light bar & (especially) brackets: :drool: you really gotta think about making them for sale. maybe move the light bar down just a tad so the top is even with the roofline, but still. :drool:

    second: are you just super excited or do you not know you can end sentences with something other than an exclamation point? cause every time i read your posts you sound like you're on a double-hit of speed. chill.

    If you have the time try to maybe make it about 3 inches or so longer towards the windshield it will help with the glare on the hood. Good work man.

    I took my wires down through the roof and down the A-pillar and then ran them through the fire wall... looks really clean and it was straight forward after just dropping the headliner and inside of the pillar. I would recommend doing it that way for those who aren't too thrilled about having wires running all down the outside of the truck since your drilling holes to begin with. just make sure you fill them well!

    Oh man... that looks so damn good! I've already got a 40" on the front but one on top would be just about the right amount of light :D

    Awesome work man!

    Do you guys use your standard halogen lights with the led lights? I've always wondered if it would look weird
