Looks good. Now show us the brackets for your over head lights.
Will try to get some close ups today. But I think I like pheesh & TractorLegend's setup a little better using a the separate square stock to mount lights on. I also did not use that fancy wire sheathing, just secured my hot lead to ROP on backside. Figured I could do that later if I wanted, but am trying to decide whether I want something sticking out that far, my wire lays flat against the bar at this point. But I still prefer to face my Ubolts down, don't want any "catchers" sticking up. My Ubolts are 4"ers, 3" would fit, but I wanted to install hose over the bolts to eliminate metal to metal contact. 3"ers may still work with smaller hose, like old air hose which I have a quantity of.
I did not actually run a dedicated ground wire, I grounded directly to ROP bar, checked continuity with meter it checked out fine. I mounted my lights off 90 degrees(sideways), trapezoid beams, to get more vertically projected light. The beams hit the ground near bucket and project up slightly higher than ROPs which should work better for FEL work in the dark I would think. I'll have to play with it in the dark a little more to see how I like it. I may readdress the setup a bit looking at what others came up with. I was a little rushed putting it together expecting a big snow storm, that never really materalized(darned weathermen) figured I'd be out there in the dark pushing the white stuff.
Added pics. Mine stick down lower, but I can swivel out to sides and they will spin all the way to the rear as well, though I do have designs on adding dedicated rear facing at some point(another reason I may adapt the others' setup with separate horizontal bar). I didn't paint my brackets to match like others either
and I was feeling so good about getting this done......
