You're right I don't think one would look quite right on your truck, but looks great on a big older truck like the 84.
Thanks guys

I have the same roll bar for my truck, but it's in a little rough shape right now. I need to restore it before I put it on my Super Cab.

What's your opinion on LED Light Bars on roll bars? I love the way the KC light looks, makes it look like it belongs on the truck for that period. I'm a little more of a usability rather than looks kinda guy and i've been thinking about mounting up some LED light bars to both my grill guard and roll bar. The roll bar will have a light bar facing both front and rear.




I was originally planning on mounting up KC lights to my roll bar too, but fearful they wouldn't be bright enough.
Thanks,
first off, i dislike the look of lightbars on these older trucks, look really out of place, like extremely, kind of like the big rims on these truck people are in to, just looks ricey
yes the KCs will be plenty bright for your use, the only advantage the lightbar has is since its led it will draw less, but id still use KCS over a lightbar any day. The KCS are BRIGHT

Do you have the Daylighters?

KC Daylighter - The Original Performance Off Road Halogen and HID Light

Can you post a pic of them lit up so we can see HOW bright they are?

There's a video on this site that gives you an idea of what 2 quality lights look like, bright doesn't even begin to sum them up

Welcome to FYRLYT Driving Lights

I could never run multiple sets of lights again after getting a pair of these, absolutely the best I've ever used.

Truck looks great Matt.
I think all that is needed now is a brush guard. Of course that is just my opinion.

Your going to have to drive it in so I can see the roll bar on it. This truck looks way better in person, pics don't do it justice.
