Yeah, exactly that.

Yep. I just had to drill two holes into the bumper horns at the end of the frame for the mounts.

I have the combo version. Ford F150 Raptor 20" Double Row LED CREE Offroad Light Bar - COMBO - Explosive Powersports Girlfriend was going to buy me a 30" for Christmas but they were out of stock so they changed the order to two 20" combo for the same price. Saved 50 bucks. And it worked out better because it fits neatly in the lower grill spot.

The one in the picture just died on me the other week. I think it was leaking and there's water in the housing. I've just been too damn lazy to do anything about it.

they seem very bright was toying with the idea of one on a bull bar for up north trips. worth it??

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

Ah that makes sense why your quad sticks out so far. My short bed is 6'6". medium dick bed here.

 

[Chester Copperpot]

Absolutely. With the high beams on, everything in front of my truck on a northwoods road is lit up. [MENTION=1983]Outlaw[/MENTION] and our buddies have seen it. It's day time.

 

[Outlaw]

Light bars are awesome. If I didn't care if I looked like a total *** I'd do one on my truck

My brain hurts from all these stubby beds

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

I bought some of these a while back to put at the front of the bed in the middle so I can tie down 2 dirt bikes without crossover (it's a pain in the dick to cross straps over the wheels). Not sure if I should be worried about the front of the bed bending or not. They do make wheel chock kits that might help?
Pics make them look small but they are not.

3/4" or thicker plywood

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

Thought about that and like a 2x6 or 2x8. 2 holes I'm cool with but I use the bed for other shit so don't want trays mounted permanently. Those tie downs are nearly flush once removed.


Most of the other bed mounts are at the top of the bed. I assume supporting either at the top or bottom is best because of the added material.

 

[GTPpower]

It flat out sucks hauling stuff with a short bed.

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

Then why buy such a shitty little bed truck?


I kind of wish I got a long bed.

 

[OffshoreDrilling]

If you actually need to do truck things besides tow, I don't know how anyone wouldn't want a long bed. you can actually put crap in it and close the gate

 

[OffshoreDrilling]

I need a money tree. I want a truck again and keep the BMW

if you *have* to have it in a garage, chances are a long bed- whatever cab probably won't fit...

crew cab is essential to me, but i know lots hate them but i love it.

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

I have a decently deep garage and my extended cab 6'6" bed truck fits with about 3' from the wall. It's tight.

I couldn't imagine having a shorter bed.

 

[Bub]

5'8" yuppie bed brought home 8 sheets of drywall last week with 0 issue and 0 fux. You braaap guys I get it I wouldn't want my shit hanging out either but I'll dare say 80% of truck owners are kidding themselves when they say they need the 8ft bed.

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

8 whole sheets???!??!?


Woooooooooooow

and i can't imagine having a smaller cab for sure

 

[Outlaw]

I wanted a long bed F350... Fortunately the "short box" Super Duty bed is 6'10" so it's not terrible, but, I miss my long bed so much. Finding a transfer tank/box for a short bed is a bitch.

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

The extended is perfect for me. Roomy enough for adults to sit back there and I can put my mountain bike or bmx bike back there with the seat folded up.

Rarely it's more than 2 people in the truck anyways.
