Default A-pillar Light mounts

Well boys and girls i was looking at a build thread, dont want to mention Brian's name, but this guy has an amazing rig... One piece of his rig that generated quite a few comments was his A-pillar Light mounts. Kind of like the wronger windshield lights. Here are a couple pictures











Now there is a shop within Phoenix that my dad has gone to for his WJ needs called Kevins Offroad. They are a great bunch of guys. I emailed the owner, Kevin, to ask him if he could make a set. He said he was more then willing to make them, and further produce them if this created enough interest.

Now would you guys be interested in buying them? I dont know what kind of price Kevin will sell them for. Usually his prices are fairly good, a little bit more then others, but the customer service and attention to detail is one of the highest levels for an offroad company.

Whats your guy's thoughts on this? I plan on taking my rig in when i can spare not having a vehicle. Just to get something this unique.

I think when Howler was making these he was charging around $60 with shipping. I would suggest they try and make theirs to stay in that price range as well. I think they would sell quiet a few at the right price.

Wow thanks guys, the idea has been pretty well recepted. both on this forum and a local forum in my area.

Only problem is they need my rig in for a couple days to fab it up but mine is a DD...so i'm trying to find an alternative way on how to work this. I will definitely keep you guys updated

Very cool idea!


EDIT; Just out of curiosity, are they pop-riveted to the "A"-pillars?

I would think screws would wear out (strip) the skin after a while.
