Custom Light Bar

[MichaelM]

All the talk and its finally finished. Wish I had more photos of fabrication butttt.. my camera was dead. Here are some shots of the final results. I am pretty happy with it. It was very easy.

What you need.
2- 20x1x1/4 inch steel bars
1- 16x1x1/4 inch steel bar
1- 36 inch steel pipe
4 (or however many desired) tabs for mounting the lights. This could vary. I used 4 1x2 inch tabs and my lights needed a 3/8 hole for mounting.
1- can primer
1- can paint
4- 5/8 bolts with washers, lock washers and nuts
1- 3/8 bolt with washers, lock washer and nut
Drill and drill bits
Welder
and other common tools


I think I spent about $45 dollars total. Hardware included.

Here are some photos. I'll take some of the brackets and how it is mounted if anyone is interested.

Looks good. Are you getting much vibration on the mount? Can you take some pics of the mounting?

On another note, what part of MS are you from?

I'll find out tonight. I literally just finished it. It feels pretty s****y. More s****y than the individual mounts I had for two lights before (similar to how yours are).

Didn't see where you asked about where I was from. I live in Jackson. Go to MSU though so Starkville too. Originally from the B-ham though. :cheers:

That is too funny, i grew up in NorthEast Jackson, went to Auburn then moved to Birmingham......

I am sure you have heard about the UA/MSU tickets where the UA ticketing office messed up on the spelling of Mississippi.....lol.:ybrick:

Wow. That's pretty ironic.

And no I did not hear about that. Haha I am glad you decided to share it though. That's a classic.

Preciate it.

Momo, yes there is a slight vibration. It is not bad though and doesn't really bother me. I have an idea for a quick fix.

small rubber bumpers under the bar/brackets.

Do you have some pictures of how you mounted this? I want to fabricate something very similar and this looks almost exactly like what I want to make. Nice stuff.

Looks really good and cleanly done. Nice work.
