Default Wicked light bar!!!

So today at work a guy came into the shop and asked if we would remove the chrome bed caps, I said sure and proceded to do so. After I was done I asked him were he wanted them, he said the trash. I was gona put them on my short bed chevy but relized they was for a bed with a tool box in it.
so basically what i have is a 4 foot chrome bed cap. Its hollow to hide wires, and has a nice clean design. Even better its VERY clean and fits the top of my jeep perfectly.

Are you going to run them down the sides? That would look amazing, maybe black tho not sure on the chrome unless your jeep has chrome on it already

The ones I got were slightly differnt then my pic. they had some nice lil inward facing tabs underneath the rail were it it turned down. my plan was to just palce one at the front but I did kinda think about the sides and just puting all my forwad facing lights on my bumper. and yes on the roof. possibly one at the front going accrost the top but run them donw the sides on the top of the roof might not be bad.

I meant run them down the sides of the roof, like where the stock roof rails are. That would look awesome specially rhino lined.

for regular bed I dont think you would have room to run them accrost the top u would have to run with the jeep front to back. but still would work for a tie down your rear lights side lights if you have any or even just a good way to hang on when you feel like being stupid and placing a friend on the top.
