hey guys this week i should be getting my fire and ice light bar that i bought from autoanything. i was just wondering if any of you have one and had any pics with it i see them on alot of trucks around here but never on an f150 i think its gonna be sharp looking! also i want to hardwire it so if anyone has done this let me know what i have to do im not real good with wiring things that is why i swing a hammer lol!!

 

I have one on my truck (sorry no pics atm) it looks pretty good, but be careful to make sure its straight. it comes with very sticky adhesive, but i actually screwed mine on.

 

did you remove the tailgate to install the light bar??

 

Pictures and install instructions on how you lined it up and got it on straight, is of interest to me as well as I was thinking of adding this to mine

 

^good call

I hardwired mine.

 

yes i removed the tail gate. then i just eyeballed it into place. I used the sticky strips that it comes with, and then drilled and tapped holes through the mounts to screw it to the truck. In hindsight, eyeballing wasnt the best idea since it kinda ever so slightly droops down on one side. Not too noticeable, but i see it every time.

 

do you put the sticky mounting pads on before the light strip or do u have to try and stick the whole thing and hold it straight at the same time? sorry for all the questions but mine should be here tmrw and im just trying to preplan it all out even tho its not rocket science lol but once its on its on lol

 

One thing if you have a 5.5ft bed make sure you cut the metal pin that way it doesnt damage your bar.

Here is mine.

 

i have a 6.5 ft bed not sure if there is any pin there to cut or not never really looked lol!! im mostly just worried about getting it on straight lol!! but thanks everyone for the replys!! actually believe it or not the fedex guy is walking to my door right now with my package that is to funny!!
