    Just finished installing my lower valance light bar! Getting ready to take it up the dark mountain canyons and try it out as we speak. What do you guys think??

    Did you buy some seal to reseal it? Might not be a bad idea to make sure to help it not get condensation inside of it.

    I'd like to have a single row in the same spot. Something a little more low profile.

    Looks good. How did you end up mounting the lower valence light bar?

    Just mounted the brackets to a piece of angle iron, and mounted the iron to the crash bar. Fit perfect, was almost too easy

    How's the wind noise with the roof bar? I've been wanting to add one to my rig but the wind noise might be annoying. I know when my roof rack bars are out it gets obnoxious at highway speeds.

    Update: These bars turn night into day up in the mountains! I think I like the lower one ever better, it lights the sides of the road great so there are no more surprises, and no glares from the hood/windshield
