I think the bar should be straight instead of contoured and definitely needs a hoop on top just to make it look finished and more lights. Something like these.

Damn nice looking Baja, '57. Your right though, they do look like ears - or tree limb bait. I've been thinking custom roof rack that doubles as protection. Maybe smaller lights too, if I can find some that will put out w/out suckin 'up too much current (watts?).

Sorry man- that light bar is rainbow city. Reminds me of those little yellow pest control beetles that drive around here, with ears and a tail.

LOL!!!! I have to remember that saying.

i personally dont like it. My car had one at one time, i have the holes in the roof.

So I viewed, and I must comment right !


" HI SAILOR "

Yes please take some more time . Your baja loves you!

I love your baja too and I also agree that there is just something about that light bar that just looks off...a couple more lights would deff take away from the mouse look of it. I also like the idea of just playing with the mounting of the lights. I dont know its your baja and so far you have done a great job with it so im sure it work out in the end...

Ya know,,,,
I was thinking about a light bar up top too,,,, until I read some of the posts here.
Think I'll put my extras down on the front bumper and leave the room for a good roof rack. Well,,,,when I get to that point any way.

Have you decided what your gonna do yet?

After reading some more on here, I just thought of another way to verbalize my thoughts.

That light bar looks "JC Whitney" mounted to a Chip Foose or Boyd Coddington-caliber creation.

How's that?

57 ....
Check out (if you haven't already) npetric's Roof rack / Light bar...

Now that's a Goooood Lookn' set up...

What's the latest on your ... On again... Off agin light bar idea?

I've got bigger fish to fry at the moment. The light bar idea has been shelved until I get some of the more pressing things done. I like roof racks, but I just took mine off and gave it to az350x. I really don't use it anymore, and it's just more dead weight that I don't need at the moment.

I'm having too much fun in the daytime to worry about night driving, which will amount to about 1% of my total off-road time.

Got lots to do before the next SoCal Bajas run.....

in my opinion, you should add maybe one or two more lights in the middle and throw a simple hoop over the top of them. if you atleast put one of those options on it, it might not look like mickey mouse ears.

i like it, however if you don't like it are you intrested in selling it?? did you make it with just a gutar clamp? or................
lol i have a light bar, i'm not to happy with it it's just a little 4 light steper bar. i just can't find a way to mount it. atleast not that i like or are confident with it not falling off

in my opinion: the bar itself looks fine. the lights make it look weird.

they look like big floppy mickey mouse ears betcha they're bright as hell though.
