O no the homemade bar just goes on the roof bolted down and it's nor raised unless u want it to be.

do you have the resources to make them or a pic? now that you got me thinking about it , i was just going to install the lights on the roof rack but i can envision a better idea if you could help me get one of these or by means show me where i could get one:Handshake:

Well I am going to use a slim hollow long aluminum or something light and paint them to match the truck and not oxidize, then drill holes on the roof or if ur scared then find a way to fasten it to the roof, then put in a couple of hole on the homemade bar and make sure u measure correctly and wire it down. On eBay I have seen factory ones and they cost $80 when I said **** that and I can make one for less than $20. Just use ur creativity and google a light bar if needed to steal some ideas. Maybe if u look around the house u can find something light and box shaped while long to use. If u can't do it then go to eBay and type in light bar and look for a good one and bolt it down to the roof. Don't put it on the door because it looks ugly and is raised and not sitting on the roof

i didnt they were originally ran down the side of the roof rack and went down a hole i drilled in my roof in place of a gromet and a sealer called GOOP (no leak issues) but when i fried one of the head lamps and a bus fuse i decided to disconnect it all , i plan on rebuilding the unit as soon as i get the roof rack which i should have the cash next month to get. unless it decides to break on me again doubt it tho
