building a rallye style light bar , let me know what you guys think

I like the attachment points. But the lights are WAY too low for any type of off roading I do. If it had a second tube that went higher and placed the lights in front of the 7 slot grill, I would buy one if it was reasonably priced. Good work.

The welded tabs give you the options for both, once I get my bar powder coated I'll flip my lights around and repost the pic so you guys can get an idea and see if you like it

i like the general look of it, but it seems with the current attachment points that it makes the tow hooks unusable..

The tow hooks are still usable , I personal made sure they'd still be accessible once the bar was bolted in. If you use a regular flat tow strap you'll be fine. I will post pics when I bolt it up for you as well

I like it!

Any update to this?? It looks pretty sweet. Makes me want to get a welder and tube bender and start playing myself.

This is a great idea. And yeah, it would need to not cover the front license plate. While NC (where I am) does not require a front plate, there are many states that do.

Santa... I know what I want for Xmas...


Put my name on the list! Of course if it was chrome it'd be faster

Too low and too exposed.

Where would you put the bar?

I would put lights up higher, like above the bumper, ahead of the grill or above the roof (like ahead of a roof top cargo box/cage).

Where you have them in the mock up is fine for a desert/sand dune runner. Other type of off-roading they are too low and too ahead of the vehicle; they'd likely get bashed. Plus, the idea of having aux light is so that you can cast more light ahead of you. Higher mounting location would optimize that.

Furthermore, I would run those rectangular high output LED bars instead of individual halogen lamps. LEDs are more vibration-proof.
