Different, but I like it. I would like to see a side angle of the whole truck to get a better picture of it. Great work though!

It kinda reminds me of the (light/speaker) towers on the Malibu Wakesetters:

I had the same set up and liked it, but it looked naked, so I am going to build a rack/cargo carrier and mount my lights to it.

Don't catch it on any tree branches or that will tweak your roof...and get some more paint on it before the rust spreads.

well it was raining the day that it got welded up and I was driving out of town so I just put a REALLY quick coat of primer on it. But yeah it is rusty. And I am telling you, that light bar is going no where. No tree is taking it off, lol you have no idea how thick that weld is. THere are like 3-4 beads, I made it super sturdy, I gaurantee you that you could pick the body up by that light bar.

looks nice, i would just be worried about trees bending your roof from getting caught on that. but having lights is so nice at night, i just put some on my truck and i dont know how i would wheel at night without them. very nice

Its all in the Grinding my friend.... (That and stop using flux core and get GAS, you have no idea how much easier it is to weld with a little argon helping out)
