lets see your light bars!!

im looking for ideas for a prerunner style lightbar, or maybe a hoop. im gonna build my own, but would like some pics to go off of. i saw the procomp one in a mag, and thought it looked good, but havnt found it anywhere else.. so, lets see some pics.

might even decide to go with something like this

bull bars are too much for my taste, plus, i can only bend tubing up to 1 1/4 inches, so i couldnt make one myself. i like the first one. posted.

Here's mine... it's not as big and fancy as some others but it serves it's purpose... I think I could get three or possibly 4 lights on it if I tried... cost me about 20 bucks or so... then I spray painted it...

big props for the 1off, don't stop there--- I think there's a market out there for clean, low profile, economical light bar. Make a few up and see what happens.

Casey,
I'd purchase one from you. I don't like all that monster stuff in the front of my truck. I just want some lights to **** folks off at night.

Let me do some checking around.... how many of you guys would want one? Would you want me to have them powdercoated or would you like them sent to you raw? I spraypainted mine so it was uber cheap. Mind you it's nothing really fancy... the tubing was bent at a muffler shop so they tend to mar the metal up just a bit but if there's enough interest I'd have some made up for you guys... I know I've already e-mailed the drawing out to a few of you guys... The drawing has the angles and all the specs... Let me know and I'll see what I can do for ya'll... I'm with you Silver.. I didn't want to ginormous thing hanging off the front.. just wanted something to put some lights on and *if* I were to bump into something it's mounted right to the frame so I wouldn't have to worry about my plastic bumper.. plus you get to keep your recovery points... and there are close up pics in my gallery...

Casey
