Will post up all the pics when it’s done but currently at a decision point that I could use some opinions on...

the question at hand do I put in these vertical support bars or not?
Strength - pro bars ?
Weight - con bars ?
Look- ?
Look for the amount of extra work -?

Is there any vibration with the current set up? I think it's overkill unless there is a purpose needed, other than looks.

Question is WHY? Unless you are driving in some road to hell or Zombie hunting, why would you need all those lights on the roof? The light reflection is going to blind you If the wind noise from those bars not going to kill you first. I couldn't imagine how load its going to get on the highway. Good luck!

Well the why is simple. why not?

I designed it based on the KC M rack and they all are a spot pattern so the light flooding should be minimal.

As far as the noise, I can promise the wind noise will not be louder than the shocks, the 39” tires, the radio or the exhaust.

Are you putting a bar between every light? I would say two or three bars Max would give you all the rigidity you would need.
