<snipe> estimated price $300, depending on what I wanted exactly. It's a bit more than yours cost, but it is supposedly 2 and a half inch aluminium tube, with mounting brackets welded on for the light bases, and even a CB aerial mount on the side, thrown in free, if I want it !!

[whistles] 300 bucks, yeah your not wrong 
With it being aluminium it'd be lighter then what mine is, but not as inflexible so to speak. But when you see about it, make sure it's thick wall alloy, that the top of the bar doesn't go any higher than the top of the bumper bar otherwise you'll regret it later when you mount some decent lights to it. A bit like on mine, from the drivers seat i can see the top quarter of my Rally 4000's.
If your not too worried on the looks and more after function, hunt around the exhaust shops. At least one shop would make one up. It might look abit daggy being exhaust pipe but a couple of cans of paint and bobs your uncle

PLAN B.
How about putting a Levin grille (if one can be found) insert into my grill, and fitting two rectangular lights to fit, ie, one driving, one fog, or two driving, or two fogs. Thoughts ?
|
Hehe, i've forgetton what the levin grill looks like ! Not to fussed on rectangular lights myself. But if your only wanting 2 lights see about a broad beam light and a narrow beam light. But like i said before, keep the fog lights down low, their no good up high.

PLAN C.
This will rock you. Whilst at T&C, I was looking at a 4x4 with a bar in the tray behind the cab, with a whole stack of lights on it. Now, consider a roof-rack arrangement with the lights mounted on top of the car. Thoughts ?
|
Illegal, period. A ute can get away with it, just. About the only way you could possible get a way with it is to prove that you don't use them on the road. Mind you, i have seen a cruiser wagon with 6 in a perspex covered roof-rack.
My opinion, plan A and fit a good set of lights. It'll cost more but you will be more then happy that you outlayed the money for it in the long run.
