I modeled it after the KC light bar that Summit Racing sells except I only needed to mount two lights. What do you think?

I like it! Looks very similar to what I have planned. Nice and simple. Are those Pro-Comp Lights??

They are Pro Comp Lights. The drivers side one doesn't work. I'm missing the bulb retaining clip. I can't find a replacement so I'm going to have to figure out something else.

I have a JD2 bender. I do a lot of light bars, rock sliders, and small fab jobs for people I know. I also built a rock crawler for myself.

Here's a cage I did for my Son's Samurai:

Nice work, are direct bolt on? Is it sturdy enough to stand on? Powder coated or painted? I just know you are going to mass produce them for everyone else that just wants a light bar and not a brush bar right?

While your at it, build some traction bars that don't cost 900 bucks!
