Do you think you really need one if there was?

I can't see anything in those pics. Get some better pictures up, so we can see what's going on.

nice bar if I do say so myself. I was the one who created/invented that method if you don't remember! Its a good method, but that was my old desighn, its hard to paint a galvanzied plumbing bar because of the coating, so I went back to the drawing board and came up with a new, nicer cargo bar. it does stiffen up the rear, not omg, but enough to notice. plus it gives a place to hang a cargo net to prevent crap from flying forward in a event of a crash.

I will be taking some more pics later on of all the in's and outs of the few things ive posted up, plus some new "ground breaking" mods ive cooked up with a few "diy's". the LED fogs press in between the bumper and the headlight lens, they could go in, but trying to keep things "legal" for the darn pesty state inspections, i decided not to install them inside the turn signals. but they could be there very easy. but, i decided to tie them into the fogs, so i had to make a whole new fog light Blue LED bulb for the LED strips to tie into. all i can say is that i tried driving at night with just the led's, and it was like driving with blue halogens, these things are bright!!!!

but enough talking, im going to go take some pics for all to look at,

I don't know why everyone on Fourtitude gives u so much crap, at least ur out TRYING to do things. Prolly more than half of those guys could never hold a candle to the average fabricator like u or myself. I think theyre mostly haters. Whatever, eff em. Let us know what happens.

Default me all have our own opinions, mine just vary from most.

cargo bar and a pic of the lights, they could be mounted inside, but i decided that they would fit just as good between the bumper and the light housing. i tried a longer strip, but found that it did not look right from a distance, so i decided a different approach. You can also see the blue led fog light that i made.

what'd the LEDs cost ya? Those things tend to get expensive when you're dealing with the bigger/brighter sizes.
