This is what I have been looking for. You did an excellent job on this. Where do you get the tubing from? I am getting a welder here shortly and this will be one of the first things I make for it. I am sure it won't turn out this nice though!

Hey thanks, The pipe was a scrap piece from work, it shoudn't be to hard to find one. Yours will come out nice if you just take your time, "measure twice, cut once". My black 96 is out of commission (shatter t-case), so I took the light bar off and painted it red and put it on my red 98, it looks real nice. I'll try to post some pics this weekend.

Looks good. If this was asked already, sorry I didn't read everything, but how did you run the wires?

I ran the wires through the grill and down along the bumper, then up to the battery.
