so i installed ARB bumper and Baja Rack All Flat Utility Rack with SPY Light System. my plan was to have a 50" LED light bar and fog lighted installed afterward. but i just realized that it is illegal to use them in streets. my main purpose was to have them for looks ( im sure im not the only one :wink) but i dont know if its worth to spend 1000-1500$ if they would only be turn on once every 6 months. since i dont off road at night.
You don't "plan to" off road at night? You never know you might end up using them to escape the zombie Apocalypse, $1000 - $1500 seems a little steep but if you put lights on your roof you will find a reason to use them, trust me ... I have 4 LightForce 170 Strykers on my roof and I use them when ever I can.
Yeah good thing you didn't, because it only fits a 40" and under size bar. The rack is 51" wide. "Compatible with Baja Designs 40” Stealth, Rigid Industries 40” E-Series, and, with a bar support (please call to order this item separately), Vision X 35" XMITTER low profile LED bars."
The 40" will fit between the factory roof rack rails with a little grinding on the light bar mounting faces. Thats where i mounted mine both the old one and the new curved one thats on there now. Just drill a hole centerline of the rack rail and run the bolt through into the light bars threads. You will have to get longer bolts. I used allen heads on mine. Im pretty positive they are metric M6 x 55
I bought a 42 inch bar on ebay for $84 and i use it a lot. Works perfectly! I wouldnt spend $1500 on an LED bar as bright as the sun.. well.. then again maybe I would - thatd be pretty cool
most of the lower cost led light bars usually can use some type of rtv sealant to help avoid condensation. Most folks go ahead and seal them up tight before installation since this is an area that typically separates ebays from higher end/price lights. cant hurt and is cheap mod to improve a budget based light bar.
