Did you have any problem grounding the lights, or do they have a wire for the ground? I had problems when installing the lights on my Randy Ellis light bar that the powdercoating didn't allow grounding through the base of the light. I ended up linking all the bases with a ground wir and then hooking that to my frame. Since then only 2 lights work and its not always the same 2.

Don't ground the lights to the bar. Run a wire into the engine compartment and find a good ground in there. You could tie all grounds together if its more convenient.

I have the bar from defiant. I got the one that eliminates your tow hooks. I am going to weld some on the frame below it. Got it for like 150 shipped. I now have some hellas, not sure the number, but there big. Any ways they were 100 a piece and the bar. The bar is super nice and really stout. I think its a great deal. I cut about 10 inches off of either side to make it look a little less intense. Anyways I really like it. Illl take some pics later this week for u guys

The liteforces come in many different sizes, not sure where you would find them down in the states, I would say just google it. Up here everyone that goes off road has them,, the hellas and KC's while nice, wont stand up here to the roads etc.

I talked with Paul Fox from Defiant, and he said they can put more tabs for more than three lights on if you call and ask when you order!

The Randy Ellis is actually much better, the other one really does look like a mustache:

Viking,
Sorry 'Off" meaning not right...
To me it just dosent look like it fits the Dodge....
I dont care for the turn down parts on the end and cant quite figure out why they are there.....
I guess what I am saying is it dosent look like a clean application.....

And those brackets look too thin and out of place. I think the other bars are much nicer.
