Light Bar
Ryan Kettler of Brenham, Texas, assembled a 5-foot-long bar with six 100-watt truck lights on it. The light bar is welded to a post that fits a normal receiver hitch on the front of his truck. Each set of two lights is controlled with a toggle switch in the cab. This lets him turn on whichever configuration of lights is right for the job. The light sets have quick connects for easy attaching and detaching. The light bar "works great," Ryan says, "for spotlighting varmints, hogs or when searching for cattle in the dark."
