More than likely, I will take your advice and run the wires through the exterior A-pillar. Seems the most logical route.

I picked up and mounted the light bar this afternoon. Well...it wasn't what I thought it was. It's a custom fabbed light bar which mounts to the roof rails, just above the sunroof. I was hoping it was the bar that mounted just above the windshield.

However, I was happy with the quality the unit regardless. The install was very quick. I mocked it up, measured for plumb, and drilled holes (2 each side) in my roof rails. Overall, I'm really happy with it and makes the truck look bad a$$.

Wiring comes tomorrow.

Here are some pics taken with the Droid. Enjoy!

I am in center city.. society hill area... we should get together. I used to live on Maple avenue almost looks like you are off edge hill. enjoy the wiring..I would look at the same approach with a little more exposed due to the placement.
Cheers

I'm open to go wheeling someday. Do you know any spots around us?

I'm right off of Willow Grove and Rt 73 (Church Rd).
