New roof rack. Rolla roof rack off amazon. Not really too rugged but it's steel and seems pretty sturdy

And ordered some new wheels. One of my tires was leaking air today so I went to the shop and put a new one one, but when trying to balance it I noticed the wheel was really bent and wobbly. So didn't balance it, and now I have death wobble. So new wheels are coming in the mail soon!!

I've had two of those, hold up pretty well but fade fast. Can hold two people sitting on top with light bar on the front back and axe on the side.

Don't have a picture with both light bars and the axe but that's both light bars

Yeah I want to put a 32" or 40" on the front but I don't know which one to go with. The 40 will be a little wider than the rack so I'm not sure how it will look. Are you satisfied with the 32" light output?

yeah the 32" is great and it's curved so it throws the light everywhere. I have truck lite headlights, so that helps a lot too.

Would you mind posting a closer pic of your light bar on the rack? I'm really interested in the setup
