    Hey guys! I’m ordering a Victory roof rack for my 18 Tacoma. I’ve noticed a lot of roof racks usually have a 40” cutout option for a light bar. I want to get the Cali raised 43” dual function light bar which fits on the prinsu. Does anyone have the victory roof rack with a light at installed other than a 40”?

    May be tight but i think you can, have the Cali raised 42” slim on mine. Little space on both sides so I think you can get away with it.

    So the 43” wouldn’t fit? Would I be able to bend something, or add some kind of extension? Also, Would you mind posting a pic of it please? As well as the mounting points. Thank you!

    Tighter than I remember, the 43” won’t work

    Right on! Thanks for the input. What’s weird is that the Prinsu has a 40” cut out, and the 43” dual function fits on there.

    We kept our tolerance a little tighter to help with wind noise. Good to see the 42" bar fits on there. I think the the Cali 42" bar has a 40" LED width, so it's the same size as the bars we sell. 42" seems to be the max mounting bolt width with our fairing. Some companies measure the lens width, some measure the mounting width.


    We have had customers cut the fairing for the 43", you can do a pretty good job with a hacksaw since it's aluminum. Clean it up with some sandpaper or a Dremel and touch it up black :thumbsup:

    Yeah, I’m like the drunk uncle when it comes to that! I just went with the 42”. Thank you for the input, and thank you for the amazing products!!The girlfriend found out that I ordered the roof rack. She’s pissed! Now I have to order her one as well. So there will be another order from me in the very near future. Had my Victory bed rack for almost a year now and love it!! Can’t wait to install the roof rack.

    How do you like this light bar? Any condensation, get a chance to use it at night? Thinking of picking one up!!
    thanks

    It's been great so far. Pretty much with any lightbar on the roof you're going to get glare so I guess that's a downside.

    The bar fits great but you may want to put some sort of cushion between the mount and the roof rack because sometime when I'm driving it will rattle. I haven't given it enough thought to figure out how I want to address that problem yet but I imagine it's as easy as either cutting the lip off the mount or just stuffing a piece of rubber in-between there.
