[UNDERCOVER_73]

haha, NOpe. Just a open day. Wiring isnt fun.

I have to Mock em up. Drill the hole. Drill thru the Tubing Drill thru my bed, Wrap the wires up COnnect the Strobes in a X pattern. Run it up the truck to the cab. Go thru the floor, then wire to the controller.
not easy/

quit complaining... get it done, :hehe: just kidding good job man,

looks incomplete for some reason though probably because im used to seeing them with expanded steal or cross bars, etc.
there is a nice one ive seen though that had spider web design might be something youd look at and add to yours...

 

[UNDERCOVER_73]

Yeah i dont wanna do the spyder look. And it is incomplete lol going to raise it when i get my riof rack and throw spotligh on this rack and the front of the roof rack.

I might do a net design on he head rack. Took me long enough to get this one to fit perfect. I wentthru 3 design plans on the pillars. And had to do 3 diff mounting setups till i found the most solid one with a 3 bolt mounting space

you gonna build the roof rack too? i saw one yesterday on an old 53 chevy one ton, and it had a grape vine design, looked great imo.

 

[UNDERCOVER_73]

I was going to build one but my uncles giving me a really nice yakima roof rack. I just have to widen it and then make a tie down pole across my roof for the racks clamps.
