lightbar advice - Page 2

it's going to be hard to tell until you put one on. i wonder if you can bang it out a lil w/o cracking the chrome plating. if so it won't look as bad.

I was thinking about the lightbar idea because of this little present someone gave me in a parking lot before Christmas. Mostly damage to ego

I balked, then starting thinking about alternatives (like it's the first $400 toward a winch bumper, or a bull bar, or a light bar, or...)

So here's my question: do you think the setup in the 2nd picture would cover my dent, or just draw attention to it?

Yeah, I was hoping... The two body shop guys I have dealt with and trust their judgement say not. Chrome is too thin, curves too sharp, or something. Any experience here?

I've gotta say I like that light bar/skidplate combo best, that's on the Hart Huntington Tattoo show truck.......it fits an off-road look the best

GOOD JOB on getting more pics, RC! There is nothing on their site.

That being said, I'm getting it!!! I'm going to order the bar and my side steps, and have them painted red.

glad to help. you ought to see if anyone can photoshop those pics to red. I think you'll be more excited to do that.

btw maybe you can order the bars unfinished so you can paint them red or have them powdercoated for more durability.

Hmmm...you may be right. Are you happy with the finish on your bars?

rcantu · 05-09-2006, 07:10 PM

they were fine to the day i sold them. I know some people didn't like the finish but they were in the snow areas.
