Light Bar??

I would like to install a light bar on the front of my truck and add a couple of extra driving lights. I have looked at the Westin bull bar, the KC light bar made for the KC daylighters, and the light bar from FORCE automotive. Does anybody have any of these products installed on their truck or have pics of them installed. I need some extra lights as I have already hit one deer. Unless some one knows a trick to addong some lights to the front bumper?

On the 2nd gens, and probably the 3rd gens, you can simply get some very thin lights like the KC Slimlites and mount them to the bumper. You would, of course, have to drill two holes through the bumper.

My wifes hiding a RandyEllisDesigns light bar from me...I hope. I told her I'd like one for my birthday, which is next Tuesday

I have a set of Hella FF1000s that I got cheap off of Ebay at my office waiting to be installed. I need to get a second set of lights, hopefully a set of Hella Rally 4000s. Just need to find the right deal...

No. The better designed bars push the lights forward enough that they're not right up against the grill - you only need a couple/few inches clear. This gives plenty of room for air to be pulled around the lights.
