I bought the 42" and 22" for $1075... The $42" is normally $1675 alone! They are from Bright Light Auto parts who had (and possibly still do) have a sale on them.. Plus they have a 5 year warranty!

They are LED. The Red is hooked up ONLY as a brake light and not a tail aswell because i didn't want it to look like a truck and the blinkers are LED too.
They are LED autolamp ones.

The mounting is very good compared to the Rigid Industry ones. The 22" has 4 feet with rubber pads on the bottom that are height adjustable. You can barely notice them and the bar sits less then 10mm off the surface the feet are bolted down too. The only way to remove the light bar is to undo the 4 nuts, if they are hard to get access too then your on a winner because people can't steal it.
This should give you some idea, if you want a better picture let me know and i'll get one for you today (ignore the rubber chocks under the front, they were temporary while i tested the angle i wanted it at).

They do exactly what they are supposed to do, they are very bright, have an awesome spread, throw a long way for LED's and they are instantly bright when turned on, no waiting for HID's to warm up.

Well ive had a few little goodies turn up over the past couple of weeks including a 4 way BRC breather kit, compressor that is now mounted in the engine bay and a heap of new ARB style switches.
It is also booked in for the 17th October for the tray to be straightened out, holes welded in and resprayed for my new canopy which should be here end of october (this means the sports bar + LED Blinkers and tail lights + 4 spot lights + unity gain aeiral and Tonneau cover will all be up for sale).
I am a bit over the rough ride so we changed the rear shocks to something softer and it helped but not enough so it looks like back to new standard leafs i go and then some extended shackles put on to lift it back up again, more travel and a softer ride...
I'll get some pics up of the new goodies some time this week.

Got the lux back from the panel shop today! They did a bloody great job and the tray is now in perfect condition ready for the canopy to arrive. (have already started saving to get the whole thing resprayed now).
This is what it looks like, you'd never know there was tonneau buttons in it!

Yeah the tray has made such a difference to the look of it. I am not going to fit the SR5 rear step/towbar back on either, instead i am just going to buy a towbar that sits up nice and high to help the angles a bit more.
Also got all but 1 of my switches in and working with the lights etc so will chuck a pic up when i get a chance.
