40" LED light bar roof mounts.

Around the start of April I ordered a 40" light bar that ended up being 41.75" for my 99 Tacoma. And after searching I noticed there wasn't that many options for mounts so I decided to make my own and this is what I came out with. It uses 3nut-serts and screws in each mount to mount in the small channel behind the doors. The mounts should accommodate between a 40" to a 44" light bar seeing as different manufacturers arn't all the exact same. please feel free to leave feed back or any ideas to improve the design.














I currently have 2 more sets that could be made.

 

Looks good mang we'll done.

 

Looks awesome dude, how much?

 

I havn't Decided on a price yet I need to do the math on material and see how much each set would cost me before I can give a firm price. But it should be on the lower end of the normal mount prices if not cheaper.

 

Niiiiiiiiiice.......very NICE

 

Sub

 

is it very bright?

 

Dude you have built what I have been looking for exactly!!!! Please dude tell me a price and availability.

 

Another question, is there any flex in them or are they pretty stout?

 

Once I had the light bar mounted it wasn't moving when I was pulling on them (the tubes arnt welded on yet which will be an option when buying them) they are made out of 14 gauge so I doubt they are ever gonna flex much.

And the light a just a cheapo Chinese brand I bought for mock up and to use till I can afford a rigid.

The light I used is 41 3/4" wide (mounting surface to mounting surface) but I can make them to fit up to 44 inches or I can send them unwelded so you can do the size yourself. I'm currently working in a deal for powdercoating so that may be an option too, but we will see.

 

Dude I've never seen those nut serts. How do they work? I did basically the same thing but I ended up putting nylocks on the inside under the headliner. Was a total bitch!!! Wished I knew about those earlier

 

do you find there is light on the windshield? Mine gives a slight glare in nearly the same location. I noticed it when the dust on my windshield became visible lol. I know its pretty common regardless of light brand. A guy on dezrangers ended up making a little visor for the bottom of the light bar as a solution.

 

subbed

 

There didn't seem to be any glare from the light when I tired it out but I also havn't had it in a dusty area yet, though the light seems to hit just at the bottom of the windshield.

 

Very intrested , subbed

 

that looks top notch!

 

Do you have a link to the visor the guy on DR made? I dont have any windsheild glare with mine but would like to cutdown on the glare off the hood.
