I decided to do something a little bit different and installed a roll bar. I had bars added across the inside tube to help protect the back window. Now I need to save up for some lights to mount on it.

It's non-functional. It mounts to the bed rails. It is setup to bolt to the side of the bed rail with 2 bolts on either side. The forward most bolt hole is very difficult to get a nut and washer on the inside so I decided to drill 3 holes on top and mount it that way. I did also use the back side bolt hole location just because it was there and it was easy to use.

By the way it is not as heavy as you would think. My guess is about 50 pounds.

I like the way it looks with that short of a truck!

Look for some Kawell lights on amazon. They are inexpensive and put out decent light. Set of 4 42w lights might set you back less than $90.

I was going to say, you need lights. a full row of them. combo of flood and spot. Or maybe a light bar in the middle and individual lights on the side. KC daylighters???? I'm old, sorry.

I have been looking at the KC lights specifically the 5" rounds ones. I have also been considering going with 4 6" light bars. I don't want to cheap out on the lights but I also don't want to pay too much. I have been thinking about doing the combo of flood and spot.
I just had a front bumper installed with the fog light cutouts so I need to make a decision on what lights I am going to run for fog lights too. I am not sure if I like the look of the cube led lights so probably going to go with something that looks stock.

I'd go yellow/fogs in the bumper. I have the OEM driving lights, changed the bulbs out to a yellow bulb. We get a lot of fog in the winter here. works great plus is a nice "option" in lighting if you have other white light. I have LED lights in my bumper in addition to the OEM drivings.
