I don't have one but I think they're pretty cool, they're called Line of Fire...although I have seen some on the road that have a light or two blown out that makes it look goofy so I don't know if you have to be careful about where you buy it from or if it's just a rare case.

I have it secured by adhesive now, however I need it to be sturdier...also I have it in the trailer hitch plug, but you can see the wires and its ugly so Im going to hardwire it in soon....also you have to hardwire the "white" wire to the reverse lamp light wire....doing that soon too

My kids got me the Line of Fire for X-Mas, installed it last weekend, looks good, better at night. Wish it was all one piece instead of three seperate pieces wired together, it's kind of pain getting the gaps even. Just used the 3M tape and half a dozen small self tap screws and it's good. Hard wired it into the back of the light plug so the wires don't show. Definately not the best mod I've done but the kids like it, sorry no pics of it.

I love my Line-of-Fire. Got it on E-bay for about $35.00 (that included shipping). I got the 60 in. one piece. My son bought the Bully, it was in 3 parts and had to connected together. I think the single bar is better.:santa:

I ordered my white lightning led bar from recon accessories...its all in one piece....you can find the bar on ebay for 35 bucks, but I decided to spend 99 just to have the newest one which turns all white led lights when you put it in reverse...however I havent hard wired it in yet, so I haven't hooked up the white wire yet....and thanks for the comment about the rims...I love em too...wait til you see it lowered...should look better then

I saw the Fire and Ice bar in Stylin' Concepts catalog for $79.99. And they had the regular Line of Fire LED's for $49.99. My mom ordered two of the 60" L.O.F. bars, one for my brother and I. I think that's a pretty good deal on the L.O.F. bars considering they used to sell for $100 each before the Fire and Ice bars came about.

I wonder if the wires can be zip tied up out of sight if I use the 4-pin hitch connector?

HAHA ye ive seen so many of them on the road im finaly gunna break down and buy one. But im still deciding wether or not to buy the Line of fire or the Fire and ice, i dunno if the fire and ice is really worth it especially since u have to splice into the reverse lights (I think). Anyway im either gunnna get someone to get it for me as a gift or im gunna buy it tomorow and put it on and hope to have some picks of it up by tomrow night if I get it from this car place tomrow.
