Still trying to find a great mounting location as well as mounts. I will eventually get a windshield so this current setup will have to change.

Y'all have any thoughts on a mount and location? Roof mount possibly but I hate the fact I would have to reseal the holes yearly as part of maintenance.

Sorry for the out of focus video. Can you see my legs??

Here's my 30" light bar

View attachment 5074

Used some PIAA mounts and have no maintenance issues

Hole in roofs I equate to where water can get in. I seal my roofs almost yearly on my trailer. You don't think it will eventually leak?

 

[mass-n-trash]

I don't expect any leaks. The holes are just the size of the bolts and just tightening the brackets is keeping it dry so far. I did use a tiny bit of RTV. The bracket is flush up against the underside of the roof...I think just keeping the bracket tight will keep it water tight.

Same here. Little bit of rtv and i made the bolt holes so i had to thread the bolts through the roof to the piaa brackets

Thanks!! the 1/2 inch spacer, you just fabricate it yourself or bought a special piece?

 

[north pole viking]

Nothing fancy but i bought a plastic 1 inch round 1/2 inch thick one to fill the gap. You could fab one. I figured 39 cents each i would plurge

Have either of you guys with the installed light bars taken photos with the lights on? i want to see those light bars in action.

I have the 30" ONX light bar on top and 2 "Squadron cornering" lights on the bumper. With the LED lights on, I can turn my OEM headlights on and off and you can't even tell if they are working or not. My LED's are made by Baja Designs...they have a ton of info on their website. LED Lights and LED Light Bar

They also have a bunch of stuff on You Tube (tons of photos and videos)

I can tell you this, 10% of the light is usable and 90% is for FUN...they are STUPID bright! Driving down a dirt road, I can see 50 yards to the right and left and I need binoculars to see what's lit up out in front of me . They are pricey though!

14 inch light bar (little guy compared to the 30)

here is with head lights only and with lightbar only can only imagine what yours will light up.

 

[mass-n-trash]

I really like mounting the light bar up on top. It's just far enough back from the edge so you get very little glare. I was going to build a crossbar, or use some other attachment and mount it at dash level, but I tried it out there and the glare off the hood was horrible!

The OEM lights are a waist. I'm going to add 2 SII's and just unplug the headlights. Those 2 little LED's will put out WAY more light and still use less amps.

This is why we buy the things we do...for when we want that 90% fun factor..amen??

MnT, what are those SII's you are talking about?

 

[napzard]

Some video of the bar at night. Sorry about the quality and angle.
