Title says it all. Seems like it would be rather easy if your good with a tube bender. (the light bar)

Give Loren a shout at First Choice:

He built my sliders and bumper. He has a nice tube bender. He used it for the first time during my bumper build.

The ones you see on almost all SUVs and trucks are the Westin ones which i am not a fan of, mostly because everyone has one. The one in the picture is OR-FAB. and it would be nearly $300, which is absolutely rediculous.

Custom fab at double the cost of off-the-shelf is about right in my book.

I do agree. But for something this simple I think differently

I do agree. But for something this simple I think differentlyThere you go again with that "simple" comment.

I see two bends that have to be symetrical and stay on the same plane, two not so simple bends that go off in diferent directions. I see wasted material to get the last two bends. I see cutting and welding to plates that mount to a surface that may not be square.

I never met skinny, but he does nice work. Maybe he can educate you in the process.

Skinny can custom fab you a one of a kind piece. Chris is right about the price.
