50" Mount Options

I see you had to drill an extra hole since it's a 3 bolt solution. I hate to drill into the roof. Plus I don't want to cut the rubber trim seal other than the hole channels to access the existing bolt holes. Hope it works out for ya...

 

As long as you take your time drilling the hole isn't bad at all. The mounts came with a piece that you put some silicone on and just put into the hole. It's prethreaded and work really well. Been running it for 6 months and no problem yet

 

Relentless new and improved 50" roof radius brackets

 

Since this is an informative mounting page and may help others decide, I figured I'd slap a pic of how the Relentless brackets look and mount on the roof with the existing holes...very clean adaptation...






Inserted Nylon spacers between roof holes and rubber trim for a clean look and no compression or metal to metal issues. Didn't want to mount a steel bracket against my cab as in time abrasion would cause rusting...

 

I used the same type of nylon spacers on mine. Anyone trying this beware. There is a metal strip running through the weatherstripping that covers the factory holes. Drill carefully. I recommend a drill press for this operation.

 

And that is a true statement!

 

Wow!! The relentless looks way cleaner than the supertrucks! I may be returning the Socal one too! haha.

Edit: I only see the mounts for a radial 50". Now Im wishing I would have got a radial 50"

 

I'm guessing you could use the same bracket for a straight bar as well. The length is close to the radius and you can also bend the bracket ends using a vice to meet the connection points. I still have to bend mine to get a good fit...not a lot, but just a little...

 

This..

I butchered mine somewhat when trying to drill the holes for the nylon spacers with just a cordless and snips. Lol

And this. Mine needed to bent in as well wet my Radius. Just started one, and pulled the brackets inward by tightening the bolts

 

Im scared to buy these mounts with a straight bar because I dont want it to set on the windshield. Im working on trying to exchange my straight for a radius because i really like the relentless mount and how clean the mounting is!

 

Yeah...play it safe and look around. You'll find something

 

Anyone know someone wanting to buy a 50" setup?

 

What size nylon spacers did you use?

 

half inch or may 3/4...can't remember off hand. Long enough to reach from threads to top of rubber strip. Then you just need some bolts long enough to reach the threads through the nylon spacer. Simple stuff you can get through you local hardware store...

 

Cool, thanks man.

 

Did you completely remove the rubber top drill the holes and if so did you have any trouble putting it back on?

 

It's simple to remove and install it has clips like the one that holds down the hood prop rod

 

^^^^^^^^
What he said....

 

I know it takes 6mm bolts for the roof but are the lengths the same if so how long?
