    In all honesty, probably not.
    But hey, why the hell not?
    I plan on throwing some Baja Designs S1s up top for some scene lighting because I don't want to swap out my Gen 1 armor.
    Hey @Doozy4212 think you can make some sort of bracket to get these lights sat up above the groovetek?

    They don't flush mount so it's not really possible. you will just need to use their provided feet.

    We had a set show up a shop today so i can certainly look at them a little more and see

    I meant something like a box or a triangle to attach to the load bars so they can mount to the side a bit higher up.

    Daytime Pics: I'm really looking for opinions on the spacing of the KCs...with this rack you can put them just about anywhere (I know how to make brackets-zing!)...I've tired different combinations this one gives me an "open but still square" feel...but I don't completely love it and can't figure out why...thoughts?

    How about doing this: "KC,red,KC,red,red,KC,red,KC"?
    Otherwise I think you need an odd number of lights to make it look right, maybe something like: "KC,red,KC,red,KC,red,KC"

    You guys were so right, especially thanks to you Brandon, thank you so much for first recommending this rack and for your design suggestion of odd number of lights...it makes the most sense once I see it.

    @Taylor@KC HiLiTES if you guys are not already hooked in to @Doozy4212 of upTOPoverland racks you might want to look them up: www.uptopoverland.com their quality matches yours and the above install took me all of 15 minutes for the KCs.

    Still needs wiring and such but I got the placement I was after...I pity the fool that flashes me with highs by accident next time, retina burn...:laser: thanks!

    Hey send me a pic or drawing of what you are trying to connect...I think you said you wanted to attach to the side, I'm working on that next for some additional strobes, maybe I can noodle your problem while drilling holes in my head.

    @Doozy4212 How many roof spacers are there supposed to be for the Alpha Rack? Is there supposed to be 4 spacers for the front and 4 spacers for the rear?

    That is what my kit had. No middle. Instructions are stale. They are different heights btw.
