LED Light Bars

Been looking for a decent 20 inch spot/flood bar for under 300 bucks a couple days. Okled seems to be the way to go. Hopefully order one by the end of the week

 

$200 for the fabbed mount. I'm sure they will sell future mounts for less since all of the guess work is done, thanks to me haha.

 

This is all RIGID INDUSTRIES product I am referencing/.

 

Well that's not too bad, but I can fan my own up. If it was a little cheaper I might go for it and save me the guess work. But it can't be that bad as far as fighting out the angle. And bolting it to the door frame should be easy. Brother has all the tools I need like welder and what not. Goin for a low profile above windshield. Don't care for the roof mounts above the cab myself.. Just my .02.
Got a place that will give me free metal plates too so guess I'm set up. Just gonna take time and some help to hold up the led bar and get dimensions. Then cut, weld, drill and mount. Easy peazy.

 

Where did you run the power cable when you did that?

It's a combo. The last 6 on each side are flood and the rest in the center are spot. I'm extremely happy with the light output. I had 4 hella 500's with 100 watt bulbs and it's a night and day difference. I got the bar in July and I think it was around $450 shipped to the door with wire harness and border fee's and all that. Very good person to deal with! I made the bracket it's attached to out of some angle iron, it took a bit of time mocking up then painting but it's working out perfect. I would have went with the rigid mount but I wasn't sure if my bar would mount to it or not.

 

Nice light setup, can you please send a pic of the how you set up the switches? Did you make them individual or combine several? Do you have any night pics?

 

lol, it's a 41.5"

a 50" is too big and no one really makes anything in between. Not that I could afford anyways.

 

Look on EBay, you can score one for even less than $200.00.

 

skygear do you have any more pictures of your truck? I'd love to see more of your rear lights.

It's funny with all the build threads this is the one that brings me to say that you guys have some nice rigs. It's inspiring to a broke-ass college student who can only barely afford the maintenance of an aging yota

 

Yeah but I wonder about the quality

 

Find my build thread and stay tuned. I am working on revamping the thread and posting new pictures very shortly here. Will, hopefully, be done by the first of the year.

 

Well I personally have yet to hear about a bad experience with eBay light bars. That's where I purchased mine. Maybe a little fading on the housing but that's about it. And maybe hazed lenses but my eBay ones haven't hazed yet. And another more reputable seller online I got another from hazed and yellowed quickly. So really you are taking a chance with anything unless u are willing to pay the big bucks. I was gonna purchase a $2k 43" bar but I can get two 40" for under $800 and have even more light. And still buy two more if those ever go bad and still be saving.

 

Could you give me a link to who you bought yours from? I'd rather somebody on here have experience and refer them. Rather than just going at it blind

 

Installed a 50 in digidiods light bar on the girlfriends fj for xmas

 

Link to the bar/ brand?

 

HEY OP! Wonder if you could make this into a better mega thread. Similar to the way the 2nd gen bumper thread, etc are. Can you edit the OP with Manufacturers Names and sites for some of the bars? I have not heard of many of the names I have been reading.

That is about it off the top of my head for brands I can think of.
