I just got a 50 curved light bar and i have a factory roof rack. I don't want to take it off. Anyone mount a light bar with factory rack? If so how? I have some ideas but I'm not sure

Depending on the mount type you can just trim the rack. Someone on here did it but I cant remember who.

Ya I was thinking of trimming the rack also and still using the holes in the roof. Or fabbing something up to mount to the sides of the rack but I'm not sure how sturdy that would be

Nothing really to sub for anymore haha. I made those mounts in the pictures above. I actually cut them back 2" to bring the bar closer to my windshield

The mount reminds me of 12 O'clock bar on stunt bikes. Looks good for now.
