All my pics came out like crap so all I can do is try to describe it.
Thanks for all the info 06F1, did you put those splash guards back on?

No problem.
I put the splash guards back on but first I took a razor blade and make a slot for the angle steel to slide through. My driver's side has a pretty big cut in it because I wasn't able to remove the gaurds completely and had to stretch it to fit around the end of the angle steel. But it still holds solid so I'm not too worried about it.

Mine is the same setup as okbowhunter. Works great and it gives you a little wiggle room to adjust the bar.

Thanks for the picture! Where are you guys buying your lights? I don't want no cheap lights that are gonna get water in the lens.

Thanks.

Since I took that pic on the day I put them in I cleaned up all the wiring and ran it thru black wire loom and zip tied it all down and painted the bar black. I keep forgetting to take a pic of it.
