that looks good man... I want one on mine, maybe I'll luck out and find one one day.

I noticed all you guys have the extra cab. Also, what paint did you use on the lightbar?

dude that looks real good, nothing like a factory bar. my 89 sport had one and when i bought the camper for it, removed the bar, and found out it was too expensive to ship and i could not give it away locally, so now it sits in a field rotting. sorry guys tried everything to give it a home!

I wouldnt worry about it mazda. I have a pair of axles that would be worth something to quite a few people on here I cant give away locally either. So they are awaiting a trip to the junkyard.

Looks good dude. Now you need to go all crazy like the rednecks here and mount 8-10 lights on it.

Thanks! I used DupliColor Acrylic Enamel Flat Black spray can paint. Exact same stuff I used to spray those stripes on my bed, and except for fading slightly, it has held up great.

If you ask me the chrome mirrors look out of place to the chrome bumper and grill. They are about 2 feet higher when looking at the truck, and everything surrounding the mirrors is black. (tint, window moulding, plastic trim around mirror) but I actually used left over low gloss engine enamal because I wasn't sure how it'd turn out and didn't want to waste money.

I still have my grill chrome along with bumpers and I've only gotten good remarks on changing the mirrors. Once you Do it inpromise you won't look back. Unless you're a chro
e loving gangta. Lol

Yeah the stripes are bad ***! I've seen at least one other guy with similar stripes in the same location... Call me a biter but I am thinking of doing the same thing lol but I'm still debating since if I go with bedliner along the lower half of the body it may not look right.

Got my light bar installed and wired up! (except for the middle 2 lights that I still have to order). I'll take pictures of the wiring job tomorrow when it's light, but here is the bar:

I can see why you legally have to cover the lights... They are bright!

Nice house btw
