well i start off by rounding up some steal to build my light bar
than made two mounting plates and welded the tube that comes out from under the bumper


than i made the up right part


added taps for the lights


than some red paint so it will match the truck, in total i have less than 30 dollars and about 3 hours of time
next i just need to get out and get my lights on once the paint drys

 

Looks good, can't wait to see it on your truck

 

I wish I had those tools in my garage to make that an afternoon project; welder, grinder, cutoff wheel, etc. So much more rewarding (and affordable) when you use your own skills to make something custom.

 

sad thing is i have all those tools but no garage, did it all in my basement

im gonna install it on turkey day if its nice out

 

that looks great, red! nice work!

 

I knew I should have paid more attention in shop class. Wish I had those kinds of skills. Looks great, Red. Post pics when you get it installed. Kind of cold this time of the year in Altoona.

 

well thanxs all

i was going to do a full prerunner light bar but i'm short on time but if i can figure out how too make a rear runner and make it look good that will be next...it also help that i was a autobody tech for 5 years and did some custom stuff for big rigs

also hemigod, cold isn't a big issue its the rain that will stop me, also i'll be in your neck of the woods soon, i have a large job in fort washington soon

 

looks good man cant wait to see it on the truck

 

Hell yea dude, thats cool. Nothing like fabbing up you own parts eh?

 

well guys i got my lights today i just got the hella 500 ff lights


maybe tomorrow i'll get the all hooked up

 

nice!!

 

Neat man... nice work so far

 

well here it is all done and wired

 

Really nice! I would add some black caps on the ends to keep the water out.

 

Looks good man nice work and x2 on the end caps
