Light bar

[Puba08]

Why don’t you check out Rough Country’s S&D store on eBay. The bars are deeply discounted. I bought a bar for my bumper and pods for the hood from them. Shipping is pretty quick. Both items looked and worked flawlessly.

Very nice truck man! I'll definitely give that a look. And by the way which grille is that?

RC grill. Major PITA to install. Should have went with the grill in the pic below, but They don’t make it in white (don’t like the night edition look), not a fan of the “raptor” lights and I couldn’t find the letters for it.



RC makes some 6” bars that fit in the grill itself. Looks very clean.

Same here, I bought mine from RC scratch and dent too and it was flawless, found one tiny nick on the back less than 1/4".

The 30” single row is plenty for me, I like that it’s somewhat hidden.

What made it tough to install?

What made it tough to install?

Drilling the holes in the grill shell and getting the insert to bend to the shape. The insert is pretty rigid and flat and does not bend that easy. AGS makes it a tight fit as well with the bar, but it does fit.

Oh I hear ya! The only way I've seen it done is with little hooks that hook on your shell... No drilling required

I saw a video like that. Thought it would be easy. I probably refit the insert 2 or 3 times to get it flush with the shell. It’s friggin hard.

My truck never goes off road but looking at this thread is making me want to add some lights... Alas only have 30" between the tow hooks.

Damn $1400 for a lightbar?

You could just about buy a set of Longtubes and custom exhaust for that price of a damn light bar lol. They are really good though. I had 4 of the 4” pods on the front of my truck but were stolen off the truck, dammit. Those things were super bright and great for the ice roads!

Yes, that’s what I paid for all 4 of my fuel 20x10 wheels lol

This is kind of changing the subject but has anyone tried these fogs? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B082XQT9WV/ref=cm_sw_r_wa_apa_i_QvbFEb67CF17H
I want them for the looks but I don't want them if they're not as bright or brighter than my factory fogs with hikari led bulbs in them.

Wow, those look pretty cool. Where the F where they last year when I was redoing my fogs...! I wonder if they are any brighter than the stocks? I would LOVE to see them make a amber version of these for snow-fogs.

I know they look awesome! The reviews on Amazon are sorta mixed but one or two of them said they shone way out past the low beams. Which isn't saying that much if they're still on factory halogen bulbs but whatever.

Yea, Amazon reviews are hard to follow on anything. “WORST EVER”, next one is “BEST LIGHTS EVER MADE”, next one is “DON’T FIT”.... LOL! 1/2 of these JACKWAGONS don’t know how to work a screwdriver thingy, so reading their reviews are rough.

Exactly maybe I'll just order them and try them and if I hate then I can just return them.

So I got my nilight 42 inch today and I actually love how it looks! Haven't fired it up yet so don't know how bright it is but not complaining about the looks!

 

[Machria]

Looks great! Oh, that’s going to be bright enough to light up 1/2 of a Monday night football game.

I sure hope now I just need to get those fogs. I think I'm going to wire the bar with a 3 position switch and have one of the options be to come on with my high beams. I hate turning on the low beams and then reaching for a switch yet.

Any chance to get it config the way you want with the wiring? How bout fogs? I know it's only been a week, just curious.
It looks nice on the truck, If you ever think about it when it's dark shoot a couple pics of light performance. I'd be very interested in how it throws light down the road.
No biggie, no hurry tia

Yes I got it wired the way I wanted and I love it! I've never owned a light bar before so I don't know what's normal but if I'm being honest its not as bright as I thought a 42 inch would be. But obviously it cost me 67 dollars so for the price it's awesome! If you turn it on by it's self it's about as bright as a good set of headlights I'd say. I have LED bulbs in all my stock lights so they're already really bright... But if I turn it on with high beams the only difference I see is i get more light in the ditches and higher intensity right in front of the truck. I'll see if I can get some pictures some time! As for the fog lights I've decided by now that I want them to be really bright and spot so I can get further down the road. So I'm going to try to open the factory fogs, buy some rigid midnight edition cubes, and put them in there. I'll paint everything black so they'll have the dark look while still being super bright. I'm hoping it works! If not I'll have to try something else.
