    How about the PODs?
    Recommendations?

    When it comes to lighting, it can be tricky

    I have the Relentless antenna mount that goes on the hood mounting bolts, anyone know of great no cut/drill ditch light bracket? I don't really want to get rid of the antenna mount and I don't think the mounts could stack without rubbing.

    Thanks,
    Joe

    I have heard your can get AM/FM splitters for Firestick CB radio antennas, you could replace the factory antenna with the cb and then buy a driverside bracket and live the good life, or id add a plate on top with two holes, one for the cb and one for the ditch light, but that would requrie cutting and drilling a seperate peice of metal and using the ditch light to bolt it onto the bracket. Just my $.02

    20180511_152923.jpg 20180511_155534.jpg 20180511_155525.jpg Quite frankly, I was really impressed with the quality of the Cali Raised bracket. It would be nice if it had a little zip tie hole going down the back of it but beggars cant be choosers. I have yet to wire them in, but the alpena lights look pretty sweet! Just a little small looking in the pictures, its also a really low mounting system barely squeezed a wrench under there to bolt down the light \m/ Also, with how I have the lights they slightly bump the passenger side wiper when the hood is up but life goes on!

    Glad you enjoy the brackets! For the wiring a good spot to run it is directly behind the pod through the cowling we used to put zip tie slots but if seemed as they were never used due to a better way to run the wire so we eliminated them Also the bracket is slotted so it can fit different style lights as some are bigger than others. you can adjust it sounds like you have them seated all the way back enjoy!! And thanks for choosing us FA14058E-D089-4147-9B90-0933B02168F7.jpg
