light bar...whatcha got?

i'm looking to get a light bar with either 3 - 9" lights or 4 - 6" lights and I was just wondering what everyone is using...

post pics if you got them!

I am up in the air as far as just a straight bar with light tabs like the pro comp one or more of a pre runner brush guard/light bar...I mainly want more light for offroading or just finding a nice campsite in the dark, but I would mind the extra protection of a pre runner brush guard...opinions??


thanks!

I have a Choccolocco Fabrication on my 2008 F350 Sorry don't have pictures of it. It has Hella lights on it. Would love to get 4 HID lights for on it.

Choccolocco Fabrication is an awesome company to work with they back up their product 100%. I would buy from them again in a heart beat.

Forget ebay email them directly. $199 includes S&H

Randy Ellis light bar (I'm running 4 8" KC lights). The light bar does exactly what I need it to do, hold lights. It's fairly sturdy too, I've used it as a tow point to pull a car out of a ditch. The KC lights are great, I'm running 2 beam and 2 fog. They put out crazy amounts of light, not to mention have a 23 year warranty.
