My latest project.

I recently picked up a roll bar off craigslist for my truck for $50. The bar is from an '86 ford ranger I believe that came stock with it as an option. I repainted it and threw on some 100w long range daylighters. I like the look andthe extra light is awesome at night. I also have my 100w hella 500's in the front so it is just about daylight in front of me. I looked at a couple of camodown's pics to see what his set-up was because I wanted it to come out something like his. let me know what you think. I am currently thinking of how I can make them fold down because I have to drive in a parking garage for school and height is not on my side.

Looks great! It shouldn't be too hard to make a hinge sort of thing to fold them back when you need the clearance.

thanks guys, it is turning out to be harder than inticipated to think of a way to make em fold down though. Just a hinge won't do it.

I had to get rid of my kc's (2 where already cracked from hitting stuff anyway) but I had to go to hella lights so I could fold them down.



I drilled out a hole on my kc's and put them on a bracket where I could get by and it worked but they would not hold position when I went to actually use them.
