    Hard to see couldn't find a better photo here is my roof mounted it's a 41" bar with 1/4" steel brakets mounted to the oem roof rack. It has been on for about a year or so and gone through a few snow storms yet to have any issues. I also mounted about 5 inches back from the roof line to avoid glare.image.jpg

    And the most important question, who makes your light bar brackets?

    You're talking to him. I tried doing a batch a couple years ago, but there was never any interest. I think I even have an old thread floating around somewhere.

    What is the longevity of this set up? Is the plastic rack ends strong enough to handle a beating down a rough trail at a decent speed?

    Yes. Ive had a 42” bar and OEM rack for ~3 years now with no issues. The brackets can be found on Amazon and eBay.
