What to do with these?

[MrVeteran51248]

I have the ADD Chase rack with light bar on my truck. Before you say take it off, I kinda like how it looks. Now the chase rack used to have the center wheel mount on it, and somewhere along the line someone cut it off. There is a little clean up I need to to to the remnants of the previous bars, but I have 3 tabs that used to house bolts to hold on a cover. What could I put in these or use them for in the future. I do plan on having a Yaesu FTM-300D mounted into it in the near term future, but was leaning towards a roof mounted antenna, but not set in stone. I also thought maybe some amber marker lights, but don't have my mind set on anything. Attaching photo of what I am talking about and one of how the rack originally looked. 2nd Image was taken from SCAR911's post. Zoom in on the back side of my rack on the left and you can see the tabs I am talking about.

Throw a couple of amber XL80s on there

I personally think those things are super gaudy. But if you’re gonna run it, make it rad. Put some Baja designs lights on it, toss an S2 Amber rear facing Chase on it, your VHF antenna on it, etc. make it look like it was more than just a truck catalogue impulse buy.

I think you should get a full size mannequin. And dress it like an Arab soldier to ride back there.

Makes the raptor look like an Avalanche or a Silverado "black ops....". Not my cup of whiskey.

 

[Baja Designs]

I agree, it could use some Baja Designs lights on there.

If I could think of a way to have it look as if it was a captured combatant, I would love to offend as many people as I could. I didn't spend 30 months in Iraq on a pleasure trip.

Always up to test and try new things out. I even have a decent DSLR camera to get photos here in NW Iowa.

What part of the Big Sky you from? I ended up back in the Livingston, Bozeman area after I got out of the Army in 2010, moved to NW Iowa in 20 to start a business
