4th gen: 41.5" Double row CREE LED Light bar on stock roof rack - No drilling

I got this bar from ebay, it's "24,000" lumens and 60/30 flood/spot combo. 240W.

I made the brackets from angle at home depot and used draw bolts in the stock rails and trimmed the caps to fit.

The angle, if extended straight from the rack, was too narrow for the bar. So I used some flat stock to widen the space between the brackets:

Here's a fifth grade looking drawing i made:








red dot is where the bar will mount

Bar will mount through the side in the holes that are already tapped





Before trimming the caps:




and done

 

Sexytimes in my eyes

 

Confused as to how you mounted the angle iron to the rack though. Curious if you have any pics?

 

Nice! Good job!

 

Yeah, i'll take some tomorrow, but I used "draw bolts" from home depot. I JB welded basically a rectangular nut to the head of the botl, slipped it in place and left the shank sticking out.



So, ditch one of the little rectangles and JB weld the other in place, then take off the caps and slide that down the track in the rack rails to where you want it.

 

Hmmmmmmmmmmm. Might improvise a bit if I find something that'll suit the needs. My other issue was removing the end caps. Mine won't pop off lol

 

Thanks for the info Zak

 

more screwdriver.

 

Witson Metalworks rack instead lol

 

ah yeah, mine is on order, right next to my new money tree..

 

I know college problems. Not all of us can be like HHI

 

Just give me a few months I'll be there haha

 

Lol

 

I was wondering if I could get some close up pictures of the mount and screws mountings and would this work for a curved bar? Thanks in advance.

 

Looks great! I love your grill. Where'd you get it?

 

Does the light bar hit/rub the roof while in motion?

I like what you did and I plan on doing something similar. Additional photos would be appreciated.

 

Could you use small L brackets to mount to roof rack?
