How has everyone been mounting their light bars on the roof ? I don't want to drill holes in my roof , and I have a wind shield on also. Just looking for some ideas ?

What makes you not want to drill into the roof of your Viking? Are you afraid you are going to make a mistake?

The only other thing I can think of is using a clamp of some ind to secure it to the roll cage.

I have a 30" light bar and was going to build a bracket and mount in at dash level. However, I put it down there and when I lit it up, the glare off the hood was horrible. I mounted mine on the roof with no problems, and it's far enough back that, even though I now have a front windshield, I get very little glare. I have photos posted in the photo gallery.

The holes were really no big deal....and I used clamps on the roll cage, so it's solid.

I have a 14 inch light bar mounted on roof and as mass n trash stated not a big deal to mount using the roll bar clamps.

Where is every one getting their lights from ?

Craigslisted mine for cheap. I feel you on the lights on the roof thing. These guys told me to buy the piaa mounts and they are solid. I still have it mounted under the roof but that might change after a windshield is purchased.

I understand, we don't have a need here in Mississippi for to many snow plows. I went to a 30 amp switch and put a 25amp inline fuse from battery to the on/off(lighted) switch. I used 16 guage to run to the light and battery. I didn't tie into anything( high/low beams, helment & seatbelt).
Went straight to and from battery for ( + & -) feeds.

I like that, like that it's mounted at close to headlight level. Lighting coming out of that must be nice

Well right now everything got put on hold . Having electrical issues right now . Took delivery of my brand new Viking Monday of this week , got it home and went for a short ride with my wife , son ,and i road around for about a half hour got back to house , shut it off let my wife and son get out went to start it back up battery was DEAD no big deal put it on trickle charger it , charged right up . Went out yesterday , half way threw the ride the engine light came on and low bat came across lcd screen !! Had to call brother in law to come and give me a jump . Needless to say its back at the dealership , dropped it off this morning , i know they will make it right . But already having problems is not good

Here's the answer to your previous stator question. I suggest you not leach off of an adjacent power source and isolate it to & from the battery......JMO
