    I have yea. I mounted the rotopax plate right to the bars using the t-slot nuts. Only issue with the roots is if kept full of fuel in the sun for days they will swell. Mine swelled to a point of concern that I called rotopax but they said not to worry, they’ve never had a case that it became a big issue..

    Thanks man, and the plates haven't bent over time? I'm used to bleeding these cans frequently at higher elevation and luckily no leaks so far, but they've always been out of the sun.

    What size T-nuts are you supposed to use? I went to Home depot, but they didn't have any... Anyone have a eBay or Amazon link?

    Thank you!

    It’s pretty good for a $200 light... It’s no Rigid or BD, but I’m happy with it!


    I did, but only used one of the mounting holes on the sides of the light so that it would have enough room between the crossbar and the back of the light. I can take some pictures tomorrow to show you what I mean.


    She knows quality when she sees it haha!

    CBI already responded but I noticed a better location for hardware is ACE. Can also get stainless in way more sizes and options and don’t have to buy entire packs of shit. Just trying to help out a local OC guy

    I washed the truck and looked at the fasteners earlier this week and they seem to be losing their finish. I’ll swap them out.

    They no longer make this lightbar. The only option they have now is a different light bar. I'd post the link but their website is being stupid right now.

    Its under off-road lights at theretrofitsource.com

    You have to click the assemblies tab to get to off-road light bars, super strange navigations

    That old light bar was sweet too

    The aluminum racks that are on the website mount to the factory holes. No drilling.

    I am no longer involved in Prinsu. It is owned and operated by CBI Offroad Fab. You would need to talk to them about getting steel rails
