    808 ALLDAY!!
    Looking to do a 50" curved LED bar over the windshield, anyone have any bracket setups or know where to get them? Any new items out there?

    I know the DC have roof mount points but those trucks just look silly with a short bed.....:D

    I'm going to sub to this thread, I'm looking at doing the same thing on my access cab and am searching around for people with suggestions on the best method. and what size bar to use. A 40 or a 50.

    I actually just put in an order for light bars, decided against the rooftop one on my AC because I don't want to drill holes in the cab. The DC's come with predrilled holes for the roofracks, so light bar mounts can go directly into those. You have to drill holes in the frame of the cab to get the mounts to fit on an AC... To my understanding anyways.

    I was not aware the AC did not have the roof mounts. (I don't have my truck yet). So I Presume you are going with a grill mount? Some details would be good. :) Sorry, OP, don't mean to hijack your roof top question.

    Here is the link to the Relentless Fab brackets:
    http://www.relentlessfabrication.us...mounting-brackets/p/35103590/category=3368787

    As I said, there are no pre-drilled holes in the access cabs. It even says it on the site under the install notes.

    I opted to not do a roof mount at this time because I don't want to drill through my cab.

    For the bars that I did order (because I know someone asked) I've got 2x 20" and 1x 30" coming. 30" will go in the lower facia of the grill, and the 20's will mount top and bottom of the satoshi frill I've got coming as well. The lower of the two 20's will get an amber lens.

    When it comes time to upgrade to a DCSB (kids) I will look at transfering all these parts over to the new truck and get a 50" bar for the roof because there will be the predrilled holes.

    I got a 40 inch with the relentless fab mounts. We had to bend the mounts a lot to get it to fit but thankfully they were thin enough to work.
    I don't have many pics besides this one.

    Yeah all white looks good. I have an access cab and would like a rooftop light too. I mean it's not that hard to drill into the truck. Scary...yes. Just don't want to drill into anything electrical. My dad used to install police lights in the A pillar of cars for the port of San diego on weekends. Imagine making a mistake there and breaking the windshield or weakening the roof support
