Stock size Rims are 15"

Hey I was thinking of making a light bar... would it work out good if I made it from a old push lawn mower handle?

Anything could be made to work. How were you planning on mounting it? The inner edges of the stock rack are 38" apart and I've never seen a mower handle that wide.

I was thinking of attaching it TO the bumper, right by the grill, like this.

Meanwhile I'm cutting my bumper. Current progress:

I'd definitely say you can do that with a lawn mower handle, thats a pretty cool idea actually.

lol I don't know why I assumed it would be on the roof

Yeah I think it would fit well attached to the frame like that. Why did you cut the bumper anyway?

Now if we could only get em to cut up the running boards we'd be all set.

Mower handle would be too flimsy. Why not just attach them directly to the bumper?

That was my fear, but it is quite firm. And I never liked the look of the lights directly attached to the bumper.

I'm trying to remove all that stuff inside, go back a page and you'll see my plan
