Whats going on everyone? Well Ive been wanting to add a lightbar in front of my truck with possibly 2 or 4 lights but the prices for both the lights and the bars are crazy high so I started thinking maybe I could fab something simple and still as nice. I was thinking of using some materials already laying around in the garage to make it. I was thinking of using some aluminum strips we have there that are approximately a quarter inch thick and inch and a half wide. Any ideas on this? any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Yea I saw the pictures, his bar and set up is pretty damn sweet, well I guess fabricating one is worth a shot, if it doesnt work, oo well no money spent and just save up to buy one I guess lol and Thanks btw

lol I used to have the same bumper as yours, but it got dented up and a friend of my dads had a lowered 04 with a custom front bumper and gave me this one as a gift, great friends lol, but naw I'm not thinking of even drilling or cutting or anything to the bumper but if I get the crazy idea for some reason I'll let you know lol
