    So i bought one of those cheap chinese eBay light bars cause a friend has one and its pretty badass and bright. Its 50" and i measured my roof before. I didnt realize the mounts they sent make it two inches longer. Is there anyone that makes mounts that'll fit my bar of should i just sell it ?

    A radius bar is just the shape. It's slightly rounded to match the bend in the windshield.

    No worries, that's what the forum is for, we're all noobs at some point in life. I'm still learning myself.

    Im so confused... If you want to use the mounts that come with 99% of light bars your going to have to get like a 42" and just bolt them in... it will probably leak and look like crap... the only other thing you can do it buy some legit roof mounts.. I have relentless fab mounts and they were only like 120
