home made light bar? - 4/17/2008 6:03:15 PM    Thor_449 Posts: 229 Joined: 3/24/2008 From: Plymouth, Indiana Status: offline I'm just wondering on if this will make my truck goofy looking. I would like more light but don't have a grill guard so the only other place to put them is on top. I have 1994 s-10 blazer first generation and i was wondering if i put four of these http://www.stylintrucks.com/parts.aspx?category%7ccategory_root%7c-26=Lighting&attribute_value_string%7cBrand=Pilot&canned_results_trigger=&selected_prod_ids=4892 on top do you think it will look kinda goofy? i looked at light bars and I cannot afford them _____________________________ 4.3L of 94 4x4 S10 blazer Post #: 1

RE: home made light bar? - 4/18/2008 1:41:33 PM    kiwiblazer Posts: 697 Joined: 3/6/2008 Status: offline That's why I put an extra roof rail to the front mounting of the roof rack. It moves the lights up another foot nearer the front. I'll be doing the wiring this weekend & will post pics with them working. _____________________________ 99 Blazer LS 4 door 4x4 Auto RHD, Projectors, Euro bumper lights, Fog lights, Smoked euro tails, Fog lights & custom roof lights.

RE: home made light bar? - 4/19/2008 9:11:19 AM    WolfPack Posts: 3074 Joined: 10/30/2007 From: Raleigh, NC Status: online I think Zasder modified the rack to actually slide the crossbar farther forward and avoid drilling holes and what not.  I can't find his thread on it...but he actually has pics showing the drilling and mounting of the lights to the crossbar.  Shoot him a PM or hope he posts here  _____________________________ 2000 Blazer 4d LS 4x4 - 265/70/15 General Grabber AT2s - Hunter Brush Guard - Surco Roof Rack with IPF 868s - 1.5'' Shackle + Tbar - 2'' BL (in reply to Thor_449) Post #: 13
