siberian, truck looks really nice and a lightbar would look really great on your truck. Get one now and paint it to match! :)

Hi Brad,
siberian is refering to my lightbars I have for sale. I think every hmmwv should have an Ibis Tek lightbar for they are very nice, whether they are Halogen or HID! :)

Mr. Gates, I would absolute love to put one of your lightbars on my truck, except for 2 reasons:
a) Studentdriver would sue me for copyright infringement (that's one bad truck)
b) My Christmas Cash would be depleted to the point of really having to buy those buckets of coal for gifts that I have been threatening my kids with.
....maybe you'll have some more lightbars by the time tax refund time rolls around...

Now if we could only get Ubermutant1 to get his picture made with Lucy Pinder and post a nice high res copy, he would take the top spot from the most interesting man.

Thanks, Freddie. I was pleasantly surprised that they dismantled the truck to that extent.

Wow! They took it down to the metal. You'll have great rivet detail with they way they are doing the job. It looks like they are really interested in the job. :D

Wise words, Mr. Dilvoy. I'll quit worrying. .....but I do have a few slightly used sets of beer goggles stashed in case I need them in the future. 8)

Alright Ted,

Now I have to inquire about the lightbar. Tell me more. Show me more. and then, near the very end, tell me the price.

Thanks.

Economist,
Please go to the for sale section and look at the lights so we do not hi-jack this thread.
Thanks.

Wrong green? It looks great to me. What color were you wanting?
