before I mounted the 20" light bar on top of the bumper, I had placed it in the same location you did. Even with the T Red paint, the glare was insane, I can't imagine what the white hood looks like. Your eye must be far more forgiving than mine.

The interior is not my cup of tea but I can totally appreciate all the time and work you are putting in on it.

The outside looks pretty clean. I think an 05 bumper and grille would look sweet on that thing.

Never thought about the remote for the leds. I may just look into it.

Sorry I'm so skeptical but you'll have to post a pic for me to believe that.

heres my view with the lightbar on the bar itself actually blocks the light from reflecting back so it doesnt blind you one bit

appreciate it bro, it is alot of hard work, thanks for the respect even thought its not your style, and yes man im always looking for different everyone else has their lightbars or led's on interior switches a wireless remote is awsome, being able to be far away from your car to cut your lights on works wonders, and you can find them on ebay from ranges of 50-100ft for cheap i mounted the holder inside so i have a place to keep the remote

i guess mine being a 30" i can def see where a 20" would blind you, but the extra inches actually helps, it blocks out the glare the picture doesnt really show it but that glare you do see cant really see it while driving

When you don't quote a post you are responding to it can be very difficult to tell who you are responding to. (not the case with this one though)

Hah! I never thought about being so short the lightbar would block the glare!

BUT, to explain my skepticism, when you claimed "no glare at all" I was thinking you were claiming the hood doesn't get lit up at all, not that the glare was blocked.

PS - Next time, take the pic from the drivers position, not slightly over towards the middle.

And when you quote, make sure you don't alter the coding so the quote actually shows as a quote.

Only 3 light bars? Thats weak....










Seriously though, what is this obsession with light bars everywhere? Jeep owners really like them. And what is the deal with the Batman logos? Why is one wing longer than the other? Are you still reading comic books? Did someone steal the Ford logo? Im confused.

This truck is incomplete!!

You must add the following;





And they must be on all the doors including the rear barn doors, no skimping. They're cheap too, and I think they'd look cool.
