Only had the machine for 10 hrs and Ive already started on a hitchmounted light bar! Ive tacked the mounts and done a quick trial fit (just 2 bolts for now) so it's a little off. Planning to cap the tubing and add reinforcements next

really good start, ten hours in and already fabricating, not bad at all, yeah capping and reinforcing should clean it up nice. Keep posting progress, would like to see how it evolves.
 
You're going for the practical mods instantly, nice! What's your plan for wiring? You plant or take the reverse wiring route or add a switch?
 
@Tumblrrr
Appreciate the good words. I will for sure keep everyone in the loop as I button this thing up.
@Cheewbacca
Thanks. Yeah, I'm just trying to make it useful right off the bat. I'm still hashing out the wiring details, but I'm leaning towards a separate switch for easy control.
 
That sounds like a great plan! Having a separate switch for control really makes sense. I'm curious what are you planning to connect it to? I can't wait to see how your setup comes together when it's all done

That's the next bridge to cross once the fabrication is done. I've been looking into it and my intention is to use the accessory power from the pulse busbar. It feels like the cleanest way to get the job done right.
 
Nice move going with the pulse busbar for powering stuff. It keeps the wiring clean and manages power well. Can't wait to see how it all turns out
