I prefer the KC HiLite bars since the tab are on the inside. The front mounted tabs look goofy.

Is anyone worried that if someone bumps that in the front it's gonna damage the CAC.

That looks perfect. Any side shots/shots with the lights off? I like how they're mounted behind, so the mount itself is what will be taking on debris instead of the light bar itself.

EDIT: Just checked out your build thread. Sick rig man!

EDIT again: $300 is pretty pricey for a mount though. Looks like I'm going to need to find some scrap metal and do it myself! What diameter is that KC?

This is about as good as i can do. From bolt end to bolt end roughly 30.75" After accounting for the bolt its probably right around 30"

FYI: This is for the Smittybilt bar.

Awesome, thank you! I'm probably going to go smittybilt for this price and hack off the middle two tabs. I like the kc one a little better but for the price difference I'm not about that life

I bought mine from amazon for $110 shipped a few months ago. I have seen a couple floating on the classifieds every once in awhile.

I actually wished it came in textured black rather than the smooth black finish.

My only suggestion is to add some rubber washers between the mounting bolts. It will mount pretty sturdy, but sometimes I notice the vibrations in the bar shaking my lights when they are on. I havent got around to it, but others have told me it helps.

Yeah I'm more than likely going to either use some of the spray on bedliner for it, or get it linexed.
