Show Off Your Brute Force-Fabbed Gear!!

Got tired of jacking with it. There's only 1 place to mount it...

 

perhaps you can adjust the brackets attitude... i mean bend it

or maybes shim it in some way.... like with a hammer

 

@tinker_troy you can see here how the mount. The gusset just isn't at the same angle as the cutout. (Obviously)

 

Is it possible to get one to go under an ARE topper?

 

I need some kind of triangular spacer...or some kind of tab that would have been welded on at the right angle

 

yes i see buuuut i am sure there is a way to overcome this.

 

I think there’s supposed to be a light mounting tab that’s supposed to be there. That’s parallel to the cutout.

 

Pics would be awesome. I was like uh, how does this even happen lol.

Did yours come with the bumper?

 

Ok. I just took a pic. But remember, mine’s a full plate bumper. But it should be similar for you, because your two light cutouts are in the plate area of your hybrid, not the tubes.

My cutout is boxed internally on 4 sides (kinda like a shadow box, with an open “rear”) and the square pod’s bracket has a slotted hole on the bottom part of the “box”

If there were no bottom mounting tab, then my light would also be mounted at an angle, like yours. Which is dumb.

 

i was thinking something like ....

 

Yes, where did you find this and need more angle.

Right on. Any pics from behind by chance? Light doesn't need to be on there

 

I think there’s actually two slotted holes. One in the bottom and another on the top of the internal “box”. Gives me two options for mounting my light pod.

 

generic google search of plastic spacers

 

Plastic isn't going to worky

 

I doubt the one he normally makes would. He custom made mine. He said it was a pain and probably wouldnt do another.

 

Sorry. Couldn’t find any pics of that rear part of the bumper. And no access to take a pic now.

 

Maybe call Billy? He’s gotta know that this thing needs at the very least, a bottom mounting tab. Maybe he just forgot to weld them on?

 

I mean, there's the slot in the gusset for it. But that puts it at a funny angle becuase the way the wing comes up.

All that needed to be there was an L bracket parallel with the cutout.

I'm not a fabricator and I don't have access to these kinds of tools easily.

 

Can the light pod mount be bent/coaxed into the correct angle?

 

Absolutely not
