That's what I'm gonna do, although I was thinking about mounting the emergency lights to that location. I may install the red lights inside my grille, they're very small and will be unnoticeable

Nice , I think that would look 
Idk if the camera makes the red look orange but maybe a darker shade red for the punisher skull. Cause I like the skull but it's too bright against the black.
Maybe a coat if tint and gloss on top

rigid midnight series, is what you seek.
unfortunately, they are not budget minded
one day, i'll save up some funds for a few
I have a rigid midnight series 20'' light bar from an old truck build laying around somewhere, if I remember correctly it cost me close to $1k...there's no way in hell I'm installing that on this beater lol

I'm down to 3 trucks now, last night I signed the title over to my neighbors 16yo son(great kid!) for $1 
...he helped me a lot with the Jeep build last summer. I spray painted the entire truck blue as he wet sanded it and learned lots of different mods... I taught him how to install the carpet and hook up the insanely loud stereo system
Poor kids father passed away so hopefully I've helped create another ''car guy'' in his absence
Some before and after pics

Damn man! What a beast for a high school boy. That is the nicest thing. Teaching that young man some life lessons and instilling a strong work ethic.
His father would be more than proud and appreciative of your efforts.
Hats off and I applaud your selfless efforts. Cheers sir!!

Building and modding cars and trucks isn't a fad or a "cool" thing to do or to even show off for others.
It's a life till the day you die, 100% passion. I tell every girl I date my first love is automobiles, respect that. If not don't let the door hit you on the way out!
And for you to pass that passion on to a young modder in training I applaud you. But giving away a truck...... we're not worthy

Thanks brother, I really had no need for 4 trucks... I would always catch my neighbors kid staring at the Jeep with a big cheese grin on his face when I pulled into the parking lot. He always told his friends about all the work he did to it so I figured why not show them instead
When I first met my wife, she was driving her fathers '69 Chevelle SS (454)... lets just say I heard wedding bells immediately lol...and yes, I got to drive it and it's BAD ASS!!!

A night time shot of the blue hvac control led's
For the door speakers I ran 12 awg speaker wire and put new connectors on the ends. The wire is thick so I had to make a 1/4'' notch where the connector snaps back into the door jam to fit the wire. I gave it a quick coat of paint to prevent rust and a bead of black caulk around the grommet so no water gets in
