    Yeah, he offers it in a shorter lenght but I wanted it long for added protection (not that it's a lot). Yes, they are aluminum push in caps with "Defiant" inscribed on them.

    I saw this bar once before at a meet and greet... I fell in Love! Although I have to admit, yours is longer from side to side. I can't wait to get one! Looks Awesome!!! Thanks for rubbing it in! Haha.

    Yeah, Paul can even add a hoop to the top that goes over the lights. I almost got this option but decided against.

    crap bolted and welded together....
    i checked out the website, nice stuff. but didn't see that light bar on there, did you have it custom made from them? i've been debating what to get and that looks so much better then any others i have seen IMO. and am sold, as long as they make it a bit shorter length wise and with 4 light brackets.. now to sit and wait for a reply.. HURRRRRYYYYY :)

    Yes, Paul will do anything you want. Just shoot him an email. Tell him you want the short bar and let him know what type of lights you will be running and he will build it. Simple as that :)

    If your referring to the Avid the decision was very easy for me because this bar came powder coated shipped under $300. I think the Avid is over $300 and it's bare metal. You have to paint it. Besides mine sits high which I like vs the low hanging Avid.

    Sweet!!

    Are those lights affecting the airflow for the radiator at all that you can tell?
