New Pro Comp Light Bar

VShortt · 11-23-2006, 05:10 PM

I've been looking for light bars for our trucks for quite some time and have been quite unhappy with what is available. That is...until now. Pro Comp is now making a light bar for our trucks which will house three lamps. I inquired about the light bar directly to Pro Comp and here is what they said about it:

hi vaughn,
these are our new Motorsport Lightbars. for the longest time, these have
been strictly for our own show vehicles only. BUT NOW they are being
released to the public and the ETA is looking like January.
the titan's lightbar is part number 27000 and will be glossy black. the
average retail price will be around $155.
we are very glad to hear how excited you are about these. you will be able
to purchase it anywhere that sell our product.

Below is a link to a Titan which has the light bar mounted. Note the color will only be available in black as explained above.

New info on light bar for those interested. I PM'd Pro Comp once again and asked about two things. First, I asked how the thing mounts. Second, I asked if it could accomodate lamps other than Pro Comp brand lights. Here is the reply that I received as well as three pictures that he took for me to post here for everyone to see......

Hello and Happy Holidays!
Pro Comp's new Motorsport Series Lightbars are made of tough, heavy-gauge
tubing with enough room to accommodate 3 of our largest lights, which are up
to 9". This leaves enough space for almost any other lights to be mounted as
well (Hella, Piaa, etc..) as long as they are within 9".
There are 3 different ways to purchase these. For the Titan/Armada 4wd/2wd,
there is part number 27000 for the lightbar by itself, 24051 for lightbar
with 3 of our new 7" 100w Motorsport Lights, and 27011 for bar with 3 of our
9" 55w H11 Motorsport Lights. And all bars are a glossy black finish.
This mounts easily in 4 different spots for maximum support. In fact, i will
draw you a picture with my camera....3 pictures are attached. One of them is
of me poking my head into the fender to see the 2 mounting bolts on one
side, mounted to the top and front of the metal bumper.
So far we have developed these specifically for the 04-07 F150, 05-07
Tacoma, and the 04-07 Titan/Armada.

Please let me know if there are any other questions, I would be more than
happy to reply.

And here are the pictures.

Looks great. I was checking them out on a couple of sites. Keep us posted.

Will do, Jason. I've since asked additional questions and have requested more information. Once I get an update I'll forward it to everyone here.

Thanks bro!!! Since it comes painted, should be an easy REpaint. lol

Ive started work on a litebar of my own. It can use 2 or 4 lights of your choice and mounts to the frame in factory holes. It not finished yet but I think looks better and can be color matched. It will also be much cheaper then this bar. I have pictures but want to finish the bar before I post the pictures. Let me know if anyone is interested.

cvtitan show us some pictures or drawings of your bar design

jason27 · 11-25-2006, 12:13 AM

cheaper than $155. Well count me in.

I can't tell but do you have to drill holes in the front bumper? Wonder exactly what type of metal it's made of? I'm definitely interested to see it on some more trucks (maybe mine?), looks good.

Oh yeah, is it available now???

The ProComp bar needs holes drilled for installation.

I will post some pics of mine today when I get home from work. With the material cost and what ever paint/powdercoat I decide on will reflect the on the price but I thinkin right now about $65.

I'd like to see your bar as well. The Pro Comp bar DOES require drilling in four spots on the bumper. It will be available in January. I'm still in talks with them and will let everyone know what I find out. I'll definitely be a test mule for this bar.

My bar attaches to the frame above the tow hooks using existing holes and comes under the bumper between the hooks. No holes to drill and is made of 1" tubing. Its only 28"s and fits real nice between the hooks. It will have a place for 2 or 4 lights or I could make it for 3. With either lights on top or on bottom. It also provides a nice step to get to the engine on lifted trucks.

We need pics CV!!!

The procomp bar seems way over priced for what it is.
