Wanted to use a 20" light bar on the bumper without having to drill new holes so I made a quick bracket tonight, hopefully it holds up well.

1/4" plate steel welded along the back of the hi-lift mount. It wasn't meant to be just held by the base so it had some play in it

That's bright....but again the gravel road does make it more brighter....

As mentioned before, I may give Totron a try then. Might save me serious $$$ in the long run then.

totron, I figured id buy more lights because they told me they are no longer going to do small orders, so i grabbed a few 20" and 30" + those lights in the pic.

The new light setup. It will probably stay like this for a while, Didn't like the HID's all that much so I decided to go all LED, 30 on the roof 20 on the bumper, I'm thinking about tinting the 20 yellow soon.

:) I just keep changing my mind on what lights I want but I think im happy with this setup. I need a place for the dually (look-alikes) now
I'm thinking either backup lights in the rear plastic bumper pieces or on the mirrors
