The easiest way is to use an off the shelf roof bar and modify that. I built my roof bar out of a Thule roof bar from a Proton!

oooh sounds like a good egg

im a bit short of grease at the moment hence the making part but give me a price shipped and if im a bit too short at least i know what im aiming for price wise
i take it you just drill out teh holes for the spot brakets and run the cable down the inside

thanks

Here are some pics of the feet on my light bar - which is just a Thule bar with lights bolted to it.

much appreciated slugsi think im gonna go with the roof bar idea after seeing the bracket as thats gonna be a pain to get the shape of the door jam

I'll check out how much postage will cost today and let you know.

Yes we've got paypal.

Did you check out Vince's link to my 'how to'? I have the link to the place I bought the lights from on my PC at home. They are 'Ring Microline' lights and were a brilliant £15 a pair!

[drcrippen324]

ideal glady accept the link when you get in home thanks i was thinking of the round chrome style but i like the look of those retangular ones now iv seen them on your truck

[Apache]

I had four round chrome ones up there first. Made the truck look too tall and thin. I'll post pics when I get home. Remind me

[Apache]

This is the lightbar when I had round 8" spots up there.

I might even take a commission to build a light bar with 4 or 6 spots on it for you and deliver it ready for fitting with bullet connectors on it.

Hey dont take all the fun out of it if possible id rather have just the bar for me to work on please

If those rectangular ones are either 'Ring' or 'Halfords' you can get stoneguards for them, yell if you want the part numbers
