    Hi. I'm looking to buy the 50" light bar from Headstrong Offroad but can't find anything on how to install it. Has anyone done something like this before that could provide some tips on install?

    Looks like it just bolts to the roof rack holes under the rubber track

    If you have a double cab, that is.

    Access and single cabs do not have factory roof rack holes.

    Oh okay thanks. I'll have to check in the morning because I tried lifting up the rubber and didn't remeber seeing any holes, and by any chance do you know anything about the wiring? I've searched around and couldn't find anything on installs.

    A few mods here and there and counting....
    Just lift up the molding(assuming you have a dc), the mounting holes are covered with thick tape. Just cut it away. Majority of the installations ive seen, people ran the wiring down the windshield far right in the channel. By far the easiest. 150 for those mounts are pricey. There are similar mounts for a lot less.

    I pushed the wiring into the channel on the drivers side of the windshield, then liberally hot glued it in place
