Light Bars not lights on a roll bar

I am trying to get some ideas of what light bar or roof bar, I want to do and wanted to see those that have trucks with a light bar and not lights on a roll bar, I want to get a feel for this. If you could throw out the price you paid to that would be cool. Custom made jobs are welcome to, I havent ruled that out.

Here's mine - It's homemade with some fogs I had lying around. I'll change them to some Bajas sooner or later.. Then also a protection hoop for the lights...

basically if you wheel at all, lights anywhere on top of your truck are a dumb idea. they just get hit by tree branches and bent all over the place. plus if you roll its just that much more damage.
i just like mine for driving at night and the looks thats my dd ^^

How hard is it to remove the racks? If its not too bad you could just get some water tight plugs for the wiring and just take the rack and the lights off when you go wheeling, then put them back on when you get home?

Here's all I have...





The brackets are an old non drip rail bracket and the square bar is 1.5" x1/8" thick cut and drilled to match the brackets. The square tube is drilled for the wires for all the lights. Then some 1/4"x1" 2" long tabs for the lights, I still need to add a small gusset to the tabs...

Here's a link to my car domain for more mods...

I like how you have it mounted to the roof and not in between the doors from what it looks like, did you go straight through the roof and run the wires down the a-pillar?

Those brackets came with a small mount that screws inside the the door jam. Then the wires ran through the lightbar/ and brackets, then tucked into the headliner, and then down the A pillar.

I'll take a better picture for you if it ever stops snowing.
