Default Re: Light Bars

Go down to your local exhaust shop and have then bend a pipe to fit..

A little brainstorming on how to make some mounts.. Off the top of my head, I'm thinking some 2 inch L peices about 6 - 12 inches long.. Drill through the tube horizontally in a place or two and bolt em to the L high enough to keep the pipe from laying on the roof Then bolt the L to the holes in the plastic roof rails..

FWIW.. I'd make the tube long enough to go all the way back to the rails, pop a small hole in the plastic trim UNDER that clip off cap, route the wires through some wire loom and up into the ent pipe to hide them out well.. Run the ground side of the lights out the other side of the pipe and ground to the nearest torx head bolt... Drill holes for the lights and wires (USE RUBBER GROMETS for the wire accesses)...

Maybe $50 in parts and 3 hours of labor including time to gather the parts together.. Actually it's prolly a full day project from start to finish...

Kinda makes that $433.35 seem like a fair price huh..??

I just installed 6 lights on my truck.. 2 on the front, 4 on the top rack.. Found some cheap lights on Ebay.. $120 for eight 130 watt lamps.. I was out another $100 for the misc nuts, bolts, brackets, switches, paint and wire to set and hook them up the way I wanted.. I've got an EASY 30 hours of labor into the job.. And that certainly makes the $600 that 4 Wheel Parts wanted to do the job look a lot less expensive.. But I know they are done RIGHT with the right wire sizes and all joints soldered and heat shrinked..
