I like the ProComp and SmittyBuilt light bars but, not to crazy about drilling holes in the bumper to mount those bars.
So I decided to make my own light bar.
I used 1.25" electrical conduit, the bends are 90's already made up from Home Depot, then I welded in the top rail to them, the brackets are made from 3/16 flat stock.
The finish is wrinkle paint.
I bolted the upper brackets to the bumper bolts, the lowers are bolted to the cross member behind the bumper,there I just used self tapping screws.
Cost for all material was $45.00
A friend of mine gave me the lights, they were rusted, put them into my bead blaster and some fresh paint they look like new.
Spent a lot of time grinding and blending the welds because of the galvanized finish on the pipe even though I bead blasted the pipes first.
Anyway just thought I'd share maybe someone else would like to build their own also.
