    Not much of an update, but I did manage to bend and cut the other side headlight hoop but not able to notch it in time. This is the only pic todaymaking sure both bends were the same.

    As soon as I finish the bumper hoops, I plan to make a baja style light bar for the lights I ordered but with a twist, I have read about some able to fold down, but never seen one. My plan is to try and make a powered light bar that I can simply use a switch in the cab to fold it up and down when not in use. i have a motorized actuator for a power seat that will work well for this. This is similar to what I want to build. Hope it works out as well as I have in my head.

    How far is the travel on the actuator you have? That is a great idea.

    The actuator has about 3" of travel, but I'll mount it close to the lights to allow the most travel, i'll have to expirement with it. It should be plenty strong to keep it from wobbling around when driving. Its the motor that raises and lowers the seat. Fairly compact design.

    Sounds like a pretty sweet concept. If it works out well it will be awesome. Hopefully that actuator can hold up to weather.

    Update: 2/26/12. Had time today to finish up the hoops on the bumper and weld it all up.
    Hoops set in place to see how they looked before being tacked in place.

    Tacked it in place, removed the bumper to get access to all the joints and welded it up. Crappy shot of some welds.

    Took it outside to give it some primer for rust prevention.

    Before I primered it, I smoothed out the welds on the hoops for a clean appearance.

    Re-installed the bumper and here's how she looks now.
