Got my homemade light bar on. Made it out of a piece of fence post and some steel scraps from the machine shop down the road. Main purpose of it was to get the lights on there so that I've got the wiring inplace for down the road when I plan to replace the Princess auto lights with good ones and buy a proper frame mounted light bar....





I've got some white pvc pipe coming to hide the stabilizing bolts...

They're the 6" spots and the output on them is almost blinding. For $30.00 for the pair I'm quite impressed...
