Evan's weekend warrior build

I saw that video.

I was actually gonna grab the same light bar you had. I can't really find any other 36" bars with those specific mounts.

 

I had some pretty bad moisture problems so make sure you have a warranty. I took it apart and found a faulty gasket in one of the end caps. I haven't re sealed it yet and made sure it is good to go.

 

Ahh ok. Thanks for the heads up. do you know of any other 36" bars with those type of mounts off hand?

 

I don't, you might have better luck than me with the light though. I bought it through treklights which doesn't exist anymore. KMD garage was selling the same light here on the forum awhile ago, they had their issues also on the forum and i am not sure how that ever ended. What i can do is grab some measurments of the mounting harware, you can look around for a size that would work and email the company for specific specs on mounting. You don't necessarily need bottom mount brackets, you just need the right mounting height if you want to mount it to the crash bar. Or if the mounting height is lower than needed you can always stack washers. I just emailed back and forth with a rep from blitzpro about mounting options, they also offer a sliding bottom mount system, and will soom be selling cradle mounts. I would start with blitzpro and OKLED for inexpensive lights, both companys have good reputations here and good customer service.

 

Awesome. Will do. Thanks for the input man.

You think a 40" would fit in there? I noticed there was a small amount of space on each side leftover in your pics. Think there was an extra 2" each side ?

 

There really wasnt much room left. That bar is 36" from end to end, i think i had about an extra 1/2" on each side. It looks like there is some room leftover because the end caps take up about 1" to 1 1/2" on each end.

 

Ahh got ya. Ok. Ill keep searching for a 36" with those mounts. Ill check those 2 places your recommended. Appreciate all the help man.

 

Just took a quick look at the mounting brackets, from the mounting surface:
4 1/8" to the top of the light bar
2 3/4" to the center of the lights
1 3/16" to the bottom of the light bar

Overhall height of light bar 2 15/16" without brackets
Face of light bar sits 1 1/2" foward of the mounting holes

Most websites will give you dimensions with the mounting hardware, so find a light bar with a height of 4 1/8" or less and you should be able to make it work by mounting to the crash bar

 

No problem, good luck.

 

Awesome info! Thank you. That will help a lot with the search and making one work with the intercooler.

 

Light force 170s are here
Blitzpro 21" sr is here
OKLED 6 led pods are here

Now i just need to figure out where i want to mount my switch panel, order that and switches and wire everything. I am hoping to find some time to mount everything tomorrow.
I might steal this guys idea for the switches instead of going with the cupholder or sunglass holder locations like others have done

 

Nice! Ill be doin the sunglass holder option myself. Have been wanting to do that for awhile now.

 

I thought about that, its a awesome spot for switches, just a little more difficult to run wires to. Also i use my sunglass holder all the time. If i don't put them there i end up scratching them or losing them.

 

Finally found some time to mount some of my new lights, fingers are a little to cold to start pulling wire though.

 

Looks good man

 

Finally got the new lights all wired up, i need to change up my mounts on the light forces to allow for better aiming. I am very happy with the setup though, all the lights work really well together

 

Where's the pics of the rear ? Did you guys finish it?

 

Looks really good Evan. X2 on the rear did you and cam get that custom bumper done?

 

Its about half way done. It is coming out awesome, i can't wait until its all painted and mounted, its alot of work. I am really impressed with cams design. Its built to take a beating. It has recovery points that run through the outer shell of the bumper and get welded directly to the brackets that mount to the frame as well as welded to the outer shell. It has a hidden receiver behind the license plate and the spindle that supports the swingout is super beefy and can support alot of weight. Cam even designed a cool locking system to close the swingout instead of buying a latch.

 

good morning! where did you get your front bumper
