    Yes, 50" radius. Let me think about it, I think I would have to buy the material. I cut mine out of some scrap from work. I just don't have much free time right now.

    That's fine and I understand. Would you mind taking a picture of your setup with the 50 inch light on it. I am curious to see what it looks like with the factory roof racks. I do not believe I have came across anyone with a 50" and factory roof racks.

    Relentlessfab do those brackets come with mounting hardware and instructions on how the hell to mount them correctly? Haha

    A few things
    The wire tucks right into the edge of the windshield. Theres a small gap there that fits it just about perfectly. Just have to push it inside the gap, down into engine compartment and your good to go.

    So I've got my 50" curved light bar mounted with the relentless fab 05+ brackets and no matter how high up I angle the light bar there is always a very powerful glare on my windshield and hood making it very hard to see anything else. Does anyone know how to fix that?

    Weird. Same set up here. I didn't have any glare at all and I'm focused about 100' out.

    Maybe a different light bar? I have my bar angled up and I can see where the main beam lands but I still get a lot of light hitting my hood which gets to be pretty damn distracting my bar is a 50" curved Cree double row

    Is it a spot, flood or combo bar?

    Mine is a combo as well. Not sure what to say. I thought it may be a flood problem.

    Can you post a pic of the mounted light so we can see how you have it mounted? Maybe we can provide some assistance after we can see it... I had the same light bar mounted prior to my Rigid 40, but I also didn't have any glare issues and I have a white truck...
