    I can’t cut them to trim it, and I have 4 different legit wire cutters. Gotta be extra careful when running then through I guess.

    Just can’t clip em’.

    Edit: Turns out my grip strength is weak as hell.

    There is also a grommet under the driver's side seat that you can go through. I went this route because I didnt want to try to push another 1/2 inch of wires through the front firewall. I cut a hole in it and ran a short piece of wire loom that I sealed to the grommet with the same sealant I used on the thinfin.

    Mine has been completely quiet at all speeds. The only noise I get is from the rattle of the HiLift base plate, which is mostly controlled with a bungee. I have the Bravo with no LED cutout however.

    That has helped in installing mounts/adjusting racks as I try things out to see what works best. Love my Bravo.

    Wasn't too bad. kinda freaked me out at first cutting into headliner. Felt like I was cutting the body kind of like how some people cut holes into the fender to add a snorkel. Makes visibility of the switches a lot better IMO.

    Does anyone have a comparison between the alpha and bravo? I only see a difference with the alpha having an extra side panel on each side that hides any wiring. Does the alpha support more weight?

    The Alpha also comes with more cool points, and a greater Expo factor. Sage nod.

    Has anyone else had an issue with mounting the light bar in the faring? I can not for the life of me get the brackets to line up with the holes. I measured the light bar and it’s 38” 39CEDC58-3570-4CEE-9494-3443608F7473.jpg144DB49A-8F98-4A9D-B80D-EC1CE75456F8.jpg4038E88F-9F4D-4293-A562-1D28CF3B53A8.jpg

    Those don’t seem to match. The fairing has 7 cutouts but the lightbar has 6 sections?

    I noticed that, but I checked all of the cutout options on the website and none of them have 7 light groupings. I figured it was just to break up the lighting better

    Did you ensure that you and UpTOP were aligned on the size of lightbar you were running?

    From what I can tell this is cut for a 44" instead of a 38". either way we will figure it out

    Mines scheduled to arrive this Thursday. I’m going away Friday (kayak fishing and camping). So here’s my question for anyone that has the Bravo. I have a rhino rack fishing rod and ski holder. It comes with different mounting options. I would really like to have the mounts in the grooves and not go with the option of clamping the holder to the load bars. The dimensions of the t bolt head is 3/4” x 3/4”.

    Sorry for not enough information. This is what I meant by clamp. The T-Bolts hold the upper portion to the device. However if you remove the little leg thingies, it gives you the option to mount into the actual slots. I'm just not sure if the 80/20 slots you use can fit that size.

    EDIT: I want to mount it like the image below (in the load bar slots) if that helps.
