I know how you feel, I'm going on wednesday to order mine. I can't wait, I've wanted one for so long. I am going the whole nine yards with the lights. I am putting two on the bar and three along the front bar of the roof rack.

im betting it might look something like this.....


very nice add-on......... i found it to be a bit weak tho, but there again, I have been known to try to mow down small trees, animals, childern, etc..... (j/k bout the kids and animals).... but if you arent planning on it being a push bar then it is very very nice..... I had to upgrade to this....


good luck with your bar... the install will only take 10-20 minutes...lol


oh yea... and if u know anyone in the kentucky area wanting a safari bar... I still have mine and the mounting kit and need to get rid of it...lol or if u know anyone wanting a whole blazer in the ky area, I still have mine and might get rid of it for the right price..lol

I have a question for you a_tack. Which brand of lights do you recommend for this? Good quality and reasonably priced. I'm not looking to spend afortune, but don't want something that I would want to replace. I see you have KC's on yours. I'v eread on here that the westin lights suck, but what about the Hella's.

I actually hated my KC's... they are overrated. I have found that Pilot Automotive makes a very bright and durable 100W 6"light for its price. They are available at Auto Zone for about $20 each.... I currently have 4 of them... as this picture shows, they are whiter, and brighter than my headlights.... could not take a pic looking straight at them, the camera would not focus, plus it hurt my eyes..lol


Don't get me wrong.. KC Hilites are good lights.... they are just not worth the $100 + dollars they cost. There are lights just as bright and brighter for less money... plus I have had trouble getting KC Hilites to back their warranty... we are in a dispute now over a burnt out sealed beam bulb (no abuse wired correctly with their harness)... 33year warranty is B.S.... they dont wanna back it very good..
