Well there's been a few threads on aftermarket lighting so I thought I'd throw mine in for an option.

Bought a 20" Rigid Industried combo driving light bar off ebay. Guy bought the wrong model so got it for nearly half of retail.

Had it mounted to the push bar plus two dually diffusion lights under the rear bumper for backing up to my travel trailer and such.

Cost me $150 for local audio place to wire them up since I was pressed for time and it was in there for some upgrades on the audio.


Light bar attached.




Light bar on with no headlights. Need to adjust it still out on the road.




Back lights under rear bumper. Need to install 2 washers above mounting bracket so I can tilt them up slightly. They're bottomed out on the bumper so they still shine a little too much on the ground.

 

Looks pretty nice...I'd love to have one if I could lose my front plate. Stupid front plate...I hate it.

 

+1 on a stupid front plate. I'd like to have one as well.

Truck looks good though!

 

who's push bar is that? very nice look

 

150 bucks for install! i need to start a side business. pics of the wiring by chance?

 

I install stuff for people all the time, it's fun and the cash is good. Mostly friends so I tend to not worry about the money and take a personal interest in it. Word of mouth will certainly get you going though.

 

I would have done it for a case of beer

Lights look good!

 

i would do it for a case of beer and money lol jk

I did buy the relocation kit but it doesn't work with the bar there. We are supposed to have a the plate here in NE but so far no issues and next week I'm moving the great state of GA so I don't need the plate so I'm hoping we can just get by till we leave.

I thought $150 was pretty good for the wiring all three lights plus the cost of the switches and mounting them.

They did a very good professional job and it was done in 2 hours. Sometimes it's worth having a professional doing it. Plus I don't have a garage so it makes it harder to get things like that done.


Rigid is shipping me optical grade clear covers for the lights so I don't have to keep the black ones on. I also have security nuts on the lights to deter theft. It won't stop them but it'll slow them down. I need to get a pic of the bar and headlights together.

 

Where in ga? I have lived there twice in my life.

 

did you lose the tow hooks to place that bar?

 

Near Commerce, GA. About 20 miles west of Athens.
Renting for 6 months until house is built.

The bar partially blocks about 1" of the tow hooks but shouldn't be an issue if I have to use them. When I was looking at the bar one of the members here said he didn't have any issue using them so I thought why not.

 

Well, look up greenwood, sc. I'm only 70 miles from you. I drive through there almost every week. It's nice over there.

 

Will do, we've got allot of ground to explore up there. Spent my whole life in the midwest.

Probably will head thru there this summer. My sister is in blacksburg VA so we'll be headed her way sometime.

 

Quick question for you majkthreads, I also just finished installing the 20" Rigid light bar and although I used the security nuts from Rigid I don't think its enough to secure the light. Have you or anyone else figured a way to keep this light from walking off?
I think that anyone could forcefully push down on the light bar itself and it would pop out of the cradle.
I am thinking about another tab across the front of where the bolts are located along with a couple of spot welds. I figure this way all bolts on the brackets would need to be removed, I don't ever plan on taking of the bar and would take more work for the light bar to walk off.
