What do you think of my light bar???

I picked up a light bar, I think its the same as 4hummer's, a week ago and painted it with some dark grey metallic hammered Rustoleum to match a little better then bright red. Here's some pics of it on my truck without any lights though...let me know what you think, I'm kinda undecided right now , thanks guys

It's definitely redneck, but that's not necessarily a bad thing!

Ya it definately needs lights but I wasn't planning on buying them until I decided if I'm keeping the bar or not...don't want to buy 5 if I can only mount a couple on a bumper...and yes those are antennaes, dual whips for the CB ya the body happened on a little muddy side hill that the racing slicks just didn't want to grip and I kinda slid into a couple trees. I got it from Ben aka Yoter aka BigBadBlue

Nice Bar. It is the same one I have.. But chop a couple inches off each side. so it doesn't stick out so far. and lose the antena's on there

Oh and watch out for those under ground parcking Places

Wanna buy a couple busted lights ? Ill sell em to you cheap

I think the dents do more for the looks of your truck than that "light bar"
Seems way too tall and will only be a wind sail w/lights on it.

What is your SWR reading w/those dual whips? I've been told by my local shop that they are harder to tune properly and don't net you any more reception than one whip.

I like the bar a lot, but those two antennas are a little much.

supposedly dual antennas are only a benefit when they're at least 7' apart.

my truck had a 102" steel whip that had the 50ohm socket broken on it, i wouldn't mind getting another like it when i put a new CB in
