    I don't believe so, good stuff though. What are you looking to get? I'll bet brute force can make it and we've already got stuff coming up from him.

    i was looking at the light bar, i have a 12, and i really love the stock look of the bumper, so i dont really want to replace it until i have to... which hopefully i never do, but the light bar is just a cool looking piece that i could put some offroad or floodlights on, just wondering if you guys had any

    I also like the look of the avid light bar!

    My solution is to fab up something similar whenever i have time and welder access :).

    My only concern is the extra damage it might do in a head on collision. Im trying to figure out a way to make it pretty beefy and attach like a tube bumper would but still come through the factory bumper. If that makes sense. :)

    Suspension doesn't play into winter conditions too much. I can tell you from experience that a long travel truck with no sway bar gets a bit hairy if you're not paying attention haha. Slick roads and endless flex makes for a fun time lol

    I've heard of some people who have it, but I know it's not supported officially.

    I just suffer with our local stations, they aren't bad, though most the time I'm listening to pandora through my phone or AM radio.

    It would be nice, if it did work, on the longer drives to Fairbanks, I've received Anchorage AM programming up in Healy before (180 miles away).

    Do you have to sign up for a year, or is there a month to month plan?

    it was actually that photo on another thread that got me interested in the Avid light bar, it looked cool while accommodating all the parts that came stock with it, how do you like it?
