Looking for a light bar

I'm not interested in a new bumper and want to add some lights up front. Anyone know of a good, sturdy light bar. I've seen the Randy Ellis and it's close, but I'm not sold on the way it mounts. I love the 3rd gen bars he makes, they have a much cleaner look. Any ideas? Pictures or links if you have them.

Thanks,

Marty

Like a bully bar type rig? Thats what I am looking at for lights. You can get them pretty cheap, just add lights.

No, the Bull Bars look like they lower the front end. This is kind of what I'm looking for, www.randyellisdesign.com, just a little cleaner mount.

If seen one, should have bought it. It was a single bar, with aluminum caps on the ends. Anyone?

Actually I was going to email RandyEllis and ask about customizing that light bar with thicker side brackets 1" thick maybe and a bigger diameter cross bar or dual cross bars, I'm still tring to draw one up to send to him and see what he suggests.

This is exactly what I was looking for!

I went to their site and it looks like they only have them for 3rd gens. Are you using this on your 3rd or 2nd gen?

Thanks,

Marty

Well this design doesn't fit a Sport model. It fits the mounts but the Bumber gets in the way. I emailed Randy. Back to the drawing board.

I think your in the same boat as me nothing fits a sport model short of doing a full front end replacement.
