    Avid front light bar, Avid bolt on sliders, Avid rear bumper protector, T-Rex grill & bumper insert. Still lots to do though.
    Just telling it how it is Brother. Your stuff sells it's self.

    Hope all is well with the Family. Keep up the great work.

    Any chance of shipping the brackets (pre-bent and assembled) to Canada?? I can do the welding and add the bar..

    Thanks

    So happy with the lightbar I put on my '12. The quality is unsurpassed and Chris is great to work with.

    Installation was really easy -- wiring the lights was much more time consuming than the bar install.

    Thanks Chris. I have received tons of compliments.....funnest was from a complete stranger that said "dang, your truck is Sexy with that lightbar!".

    Got mine installed too! Maybe I didn't have the correct sockets/wrenches you guys had because it wasn't super easy to install...but by no means was is hard. Really love the look, and I hope to add a couple RI dually's to the outter tabs soon! Thanks Chris!

    (ignore the splattered bugs)

    Just a heads up, I have 5 of these left. Getting ready to put them out on Amazon and other places and try and get rid of them, so if you want one, nows the time. I also have one that has a couple scuffs to the powder coat that I am selling for $130 plus shipping. It is borderline fine, but I want to send people perfect parts. I honestly would run if it was my truck, you can also give it a little touch up as well. Let me know if interested!

    Do you have another model where the cross bar is the same height as the top of the bumper. I'd like to have the lights in front of the grill and not the bumper..? Thanks

    Sorry only the mid height. Let me know if you are still interested. I think mine is the only one out for the 2012, N-Fab has one but I don't think anyone has got theirs yet...

    Do you mean what do I have planned to build next??? I was actually considering re-visiting my wrap-around bars. I got a new 1 3/4" die, and I wanted to make something that included a skid plate as well. Kind of trying to take it to the next level as a full on bumper instead of just a light bar. But no action yet on that one, it would be hell to ship, which is a major bummer, because I would love to build something like this.

    Also messing around with bed bars and bed racks for hauling around more stuff...

    Honestly, I have been spending less time in the shop and more time with my son, he is 6 months old now and is getting more fun every day!!! I am actually considering not mass producing stuff anymore and maybe just focusing on projects that are one-off, or special parts, things that I think are very cool and warnt me spending time away from the family instead of stuff that I get tired of doing. Don't get me wrong, I love building my light bars, and I am excited that I have been able to sort of raise the bar on what can be considered acceptable instead of some of the crap that is out there now. I just get burnt out on light bar number 20 for the day... haha. I go threw peaks and vallys, as soon as I take a break from it, I get anxious to get back out in the shop!!!!

    You about covered it all.. You are right spending time with your son now is top of the list. I like making one off things myself just spent 2or3 hrs. on a small light switch bracket that no other taco will have. Better then watching tv or spending all day on the web.. Keep up the good work... Jim:)

    The Wrap Around Light Bars were already seriously sick, but the idea of a skid attatched to it is just another of PELLEY's great visions.

    PELLEY, I should be hitting you up fairly soon about that rack I was talking about. Maybe sometime soon, next time you roll through the SCV you could stop by so I could bounce some ideas off of you so you could start getting some idea for a "PEEELY Vission"

    Very cool, Give me a shout on my cell prior & I'll make sure I am around. I think I am going to be in my garage all weekend anyway. Really interested in finding out what your "Vision" would be with the rack idea I have.

    I'd love to see the next step for bed bars/rack. I'd like to create something, but just don't have the resources. Will definitely keep an eye out for this.
