Delta Skybar
Has anybody tried out the Delta Skybar? I am looking to get some lights for runs and for lighting fields for hog hunting. Any experience is appreciated!

Just got one . . .
I just got the bar. But am now waiting on my Jeep to ship from Toledo. So far the bar is awesome looking. Seems very well put together. Will update later.

I have the Delta skybar and two sets of ipf lights.
One pair of the 55 watt ipfs put the skybar to shame.
The skybar is basically 6 foglight type lenses in a row and are very focused and yet have poor range. You can only adjust the verticle by twisting the bar at the ends, there is no horizontal adjust and the center of the bar will touch the windshield, i had to put a rubber bumper between the windshield and the bar.
The harness that delta provides has you run the harness from top passenger side to the top front corner of jeep door seal. That was extremely poor plan. I drilled hole on driver side and bent a piece of stainless tubing from bar to backside of driver side ipf light an ran wires through it. Much cleaner and no water leaks at passenger door seal.
It looks cool as hell but the led bar is what im gonna trade up to, the skybar is disappointing at the list price.
Im gonna go outside and take some closeup shots from several angles and edit post
Here we go, so many pics and bad spelling, Eddie is prolly gonna ban me for a week!
I took shots from the inside to prove that the skybar is not visible from front seats unless u lean forward enough to rest ur cheek on the steering wheel..
The night shots are with the skybar on(look for reflection of light off of ipf light mounted below skybar)
Then a shot of just blue headlights without fogs then a shot of both headlights and skybar.
One of the other things they dont tell u is the delta name in center of bar cut out and had mirror inside the bar mounted to backside of cutout- what a pain to keep clean. Bugs get in there and is a spot for water to get into bar. Not really a problem for me since as u can see i dont wash my jeep alot and it sleeps inside shop.

It looks badass but unforutantly I have heard nothing but poor reviews of its light output on here. If you have the cash, definatly go for the Rigid Industries LED bar.
