yea i want a prerunner tiregate but theyre like 900 plus id have to buy a nice wheel for my spare tire instead of the lam stock spare wheel and the horribly worn spare i have ha.

but heres some visual for yall on the light bar. for now its just an approx (close as i could get) scale for the lights on the truck

 

I'd almost say go for a Backrack instead of a roof basket.... IMO baskets only look good on SUVs. Not sure how it would look on a pickup...

 

check out this guys album. this is what i wanted to do.

heres a link to the roof rails i was talking about

http://www.prolineracks.com/thule-445-ford-racks.html

 

you a member there? when was the last time he was active?

yea thats pretty much what im gonna do but not as far back and no the over hang on the cross bar (plus the hellas ima run will look bigger)

 

yeah, im a member there, but i dont visit there much anymore. nor do alot of other people due to some old site issues. but he hasnt logged in in over 2 years.

 

How would you run the wiring to the roof and where would you disconnect it when taking the rack off? I am looking at getting the Thule rack system with a basket and mounting a couple lights front and back to light things up when setting up camp. I wish I had the time and skills to fab something myself instead of spending all that cash for the Thule name.
