Light bar mounting
I'm sure its been asked before but is anybody running a light bar on there Jimmy or K5? I would like to see how you guys mounted them. I'm thinking about running a 50in on the roof but I would like to mount it with as little damage as possible. Thanks!

Re: Light bar mounting
I remember a thread somewhere. He fabbed his own brackets and came out looking great.

Re: Light bar mounting
I heard some people have made brackets that slip under the window moulding. I was wondering if anybody has done something like this. I really don't want to drill into the top.

Re: Light bar mounting
How about mounting it on the roll bar if you are going roof-free during nice weather?

Re: Light bar mounting
Hickey made windshield header light bar mounting brackets also which pop up on here from time to time.

Re: Light bar mounting
I'm planning on keeping the top on for now. I would like to see how those Hickey mounts work on a fiberglass top.

Re: Light bar mounting
Midunes had some a while back like the ones below. I think they drill to the drip rail though.

Re: Light bar mounting
I did a 24" single stack behind my grill. I used the pre existing radiator support holes so there was ne drilling for the brackets.

Re: Light bar mounting
I think I'm going to go with behind the grill light bars. Funny thing is I just found out one of my coworker was one of the main engineers at Rigid Lights he actually designed them. Small world huh so he has given me some great ideas. Ill post what I did when I'm done.

Re: Light bar mounting
The roof top clamp on styles are available, since you're leaving the top on. You might have to modify it to work. A quick Google search came up with many different styles that I'm sure would work for you.
