Default Product review: Rally-innovations Light bar

Car: 2007 OB limited

Product: Rally-Innovations Light Bar

Finish Quality: Poor - I say this, because for $250 plus shipping the finish doesn't hold up at all. I wash my car religiously year round and up until last week when I sanded it down and refinished it it was rusting all over. I have a feeling that I my refinishing is going to hold up better which is pretty sad.

Structural Quality: OK - While it did hold up fine when a drunken ahole jumped on it because he thought it was a "brushguard" (ripped frame) it mounts in an akward way that is to flexible for my liking. This is fixed with a thicker mounting plate and drop bends at the ends.

Functionality: Good(ish) - It's a light bar that holds lights. Does what it says it does and nothing more. While I haven't had issues with it, my friends complains about his lights bouncing around during rough conditions. This was fixed by adding a seperate bracing strap, not pretty but works.

Overall: meh..I have had this light bar installed on the car for over two years now, and to be honest if I didn't get the deal I did on it I would say find another option. It is expensive and doesn't hold up well. I baby my car and if it doesn't hold up well on my garage sleeping wagon then it will fall apart in no time with someone who isn't as meticulous (anal). I will say though, it looks f'in awsome on the car and really sets it apart, which is the only reason it's still on the car, it's just not the best quality or design. If you have any questions, concerns, or complaints let me know.
