1st gen led light bar ideas

The relentless ones look nice, but about $80 overpriced imo.

 

These are the ones I make.

 

what size light bar and how much are the mounts

 

Mine is a 42", but I can make them for a 40-44 inch bar, they're $100 per set.

 

so does that come with everything including the long tube looking thing you have connected to your light bar

 

Correct, they just mount flush to the light bar.

 

what metal did you use for the mounts and what size lightbar

 

Im jealous of all you guys with nice looking mounts. Here's my ghetto 42" mounts.




I liked em at first but will eventually make different, better looking ones. Every time I look at it now I see tractor arms. lol. Don't exactly have the best tools for the job. Plus this was my first ever fab job with metal. I designed em based off the OLB bar mounts like this:


and was planning on drilling a hole in the top point of the mount, put in an extension and double stack another bar, seeing as this is a single row 10 watt bar and they don't make double rows in longer lengths, yet... Came out perty darn good though for only using a handheld grinder/cutting disc. My bro welded em for me though.

 

what type of metal did use for your mount

 

I have to say, I think those are the best looking mounts I have ever seen. It may just be because the red really stands out, but yeah I really like those. I may have to copy those for my next set 'IF' I do I'll be sure to give you the credit for the original design when I show em off

 

I honestly don't even remember. I stopped at a steel yard and they gave me some scraps for free. I wanna say it was like 1/8" steel maybe a lil thicker, 4" wide flat stock I think. Idk. I know no local stores like ace or HD had anything thick enough. And was expensive as hell for the thinner shit too. I think they had some 1/8" diamond plate but that was even more expensive and came in huge sheets. No thanks.

 

thanks

 

Actually that's a really good question too, I wanna know where everyone's getting their steel! Like I said the steel yard I went to only had flat stock like the 4" wide and like 20 feet long! So I was kinda limitied to my design with the little 4x~8-10" pieces they gave me of scrap from that. Do you guys order it online or go to a local steel yard??

 

I know somebody.

 

41.5 in light bar. and 1/8 4130 plate

 

Thanks! I love the red also, Im trying to figure out what else I can paint red without making my truck to red. haha

 

So I got my 20 inch lightbar mounted behind my lower grille, I would show pictures but idk how to get pics from my phone to this dumb computer because itunes will not update lol.

 

email them to yourself.
