New light bar install .........
I found this bar for sale on EBAY by a company named Choccolocco Fabrication out of AL. I looked over the pictures they had and liked what I saw in the bar and decided to see what kind of bar this thing was first hand.
Let me tell you this thing is BEFFY!! Using 2" tubes on the upper and lower bar with some solid mounting brackets and sturdy mounting tabs for the lights. All coated with a textured powercoat finish completing a really great bar for the money. I installed the bar in about 30 minutes tweaking the alignment of the bumper for the most part. I used a 18mm socket with an extension to clear the light bar bracket when tightening the OEM bumper mount bolts.
IIRC I paid $160 shipped. I am extremely happy to have chosen Choccolocco Fabrication for my new bar. I hope those of you thinking of a new light bar for your truck will consider Choccolocco Fabrication in your choices. The company page is CHOCCOLOCCO FABRICATION INC.

I just broke my rachet so you'll have to wait...
I got some KC's and Warn's so those will come soon. It will be easy with the up-fitter switches finally being put to good use.

I have the same similar bar which i got on e-bay but i think the company was IEC (not sure) same tube size but mine has welded gussets were the tubes meet. I have two 6" 100w KC 's on the ends and two 5" Eagle eye orange 100w fogs in the center. It looks pretty good with the two off size pairs. Don't have any pics yet.

Same idea I have since both my sets are different sizes. They are long range lights so I'll be seeing everything now...

Now I have an idea of how to modify the one I made several years ago but took off last year. I still wanted a little something up front but the one I made just got in the way especially trying to wash the grill and bumper. Here is what I took off.
