Great work, Bill. You said you will be making these for the mechanically challenged, and have them available to install at the Summit, Right? JK. The truck looks awesome.

Sure you've got enough lights there Bill .. come on a few can still fit ...
Looks good though
Maybe one day I'll have to get my S--t together and post up a build thread too

Thanks No, one can never have enough lights

Very nice!! It looks very good, and I sincerely wish I had the ability to just fab something like that. You should sell those! I'm sure ekool would give you a vendor discount....

I've thought about it. I really have. Thanks Dave.

Looks great! Did you think about mounting them inside the frame? Just curious looks awesome and something most can do as well!!

I wanted the bar close to the bumper so as not to detract from any approach angle, and if the lights were inside the 'frame', the housing of the lights would not fit due to the bumper, so I wanted the lights higher than the bumper. Thanks for the compliment.

I've thought about it. The Dakar bar is poorly made and has no strength at all. I love the look of it and where it puts the lighting, thus I've mimicked the style but kept nothing the same.

I really am contemplating making these, as it is so simple to do. Lately I have very little time personally, but .... well, we'll see. Thanks for the comment.

Dragon I like how that came out. Really good job as usual. I think it looks better with the lights sitting at the height they are at now.

I think I do as well, and my fogs are a bit closer to the ground where they are supposed to be; not much but a little.

Yep. It's good. I like the last paragraph too.
