This is a 24 volt Jabco searchlight off a boat. I didnt want to drill in to my top so this mount is what I came up with. I can still use my soft top and fold the windshield. The light is wireless remote controled and moves 30 degrees up or down and 360 around. Im still waiting for the controller and I will report how it works. I also put on a class IV hitch I had laying in the iron pile. I really enjoy working on this truck!

That light new is around $800.00! I found a used one on ebay for 100 bucks and the controller was around $80.00. Th pipe was 8 bucks the bend was free and the rest was scrap. So Im in under $200. I also plan on adding a antenna to the light mount so I can get some tunes. There are smaller lights out there but I was drawn to this one. I like the dual bulbs and 24 volts. I dont know if I like the mount or not , it will work fine but does look funky.

I'm so mean, I had a dream of beatin' myself up. 'Broke my nose, I broke my hand, I wrestled myself to the ground and then, I choked myself to death and broke the choke, and woke up. Aaaarrrrrrgh. I'm mean. You know what I mean. If you know what I mean, you'll know what I mean! I'm mean! Meaner than... , I sure am mean. Yeah, mean. I'm meaner than that. You know what I mean. I'm so **** mean! I'm mean!
I will for sure. Thanks for the comments, I was trying for a GI look so it didnt look to out of place. Does any one know where I can get rattle can pant to match this truck? I have heard Rapco but I dont know what this color is called. Here is a picture right when I bought the truck.
