    My 42" ViP radius bar finally got put on. I made the mounts and instead of bolting them to the OEM racks I used 5x 3/16 rivets on each side and also put metal on the inside of the racks as well. I don't think that the brackets are going to loosen up

    I also wired through my roof. I know most run the wire down beside the windshield, but I just chose to go this route.

    Can't wait to install more lights and I need to buy the skygear box along with his harness so I can install my IGGY switch panel and my OTT switches

    Sorry, I'll get better pics in the morning. Ran out of light hahaha no pun intended

    Looks good man!!!! I went the same route on my 50. I wasn't about to spend 200 bucks on mounts so I had my buddy throw them in the CNC than with a little bending they were ready for paint and install. I did 4 rivets on each side and at first drivin on the highway all that wind resistance made me kinda nervous but they still haven't even moved a bit!
