Default Lightbar completed!

I've been in the process of building this lightbar for a few weeks, and finally got it done. Just wanted to share some pictures from the build.
It was inspired by ForesterMatte (here: My homemade "bullbar"). My buddy Mike put this together for me, and he is starting a custom welding shop (I'll post the link here to their website soon).

It's made of steel roll bar tubing, and painted with plasti-dip. Very sturdy!

One of the mounting plates we fabricated:


The bottom part of the bar put together:

The cuts we did on the crossbars:

The bar getting close to done, just the top bar left:


And the completed bar, with lights!






I'm super happy with it! Looks great on the front of the car and should offer some good protection as well as a place to mount lights.
