LED Light Bar Mounts - Stealth and Flush

Hey Everyone,

I wanted to provide an update on current and future orders.

First of all, for the current orders... Anyone waiting for a 4D style LED, they should be shipped out today from Cali Raised and I will provide you with tracking this afternoon once I get it from them. All Stealth mounts are sold out.

For future orders… It displeases me to announce that I will not be taking any more orders at this time. I have 10 Flush mounts left if anyone is interested in one. They will be sold for $70 with shipping. I am just trying to re-coup my cost for these. See below for potential future sales.

As for the why… There are a few reasons and it wasn’t an easy choice as I get emailed every day asking for these mounts. The first and most important is family. I have been spending a lot of time in the shop and on the phone, and away from my kids. This is a side business for me and I have been so busy with it that I can see a noticeable difference with my boys. I need to spend more time with them! The other main one is my process. Because my business is small I rely on a lot of vendors to do things for me. I counted today and I use 7 different vendors to do things. This is too many and it adds a lot of time and expense to my process. Because I rely on so many I can’t make parts fast enough, or I have to address things by proxy working as the middle man that I could be handling myself if I had a bigger operation. I also rely heavily on shipping companies to keep schedules and customers happy and it’s too much. So my plan is this. I am going to stop making mounts at this time. I have some new equipment I want to buy so I can bring things in house, and I will also be making this my full time job in about 12 months. I am going to re-group and then re-offer my parts and many other new ones at a lower price and better than ever! My goal is to make your experience with me awesome and problem free, so this is what I need to do to make this happen.

For my customers... I AM NOT GOING ANYWHERE. I am committed to honoring the same quality and customer service for all current and past orders. I am NOT sending these mounts out and then going away. I was active in the TW community before making my mounts and I plan to continue being active and part of this community. I still offer local fab services time permitting with my schedule and will probably pop up some batch runs on products from time to time! So if you still want one please keep an eye out on the group buy section! I am very grateful to have had so many great customers buy my LED mounts. This is actually because of my company growing too fast, and not the other way around. You guys are the best!!!

THANK YOU
Chris

Recently installed a bar in the bumper..being in NY, you have to have a front plate, so I just moved mine up. To be honest, I like the look of the higher plate anyways
Install was a breeze, and I only had to trim out the bottom corner of the bumper insert. Took maybe 45min total to mount the bar and install the switch.

Wondering if anyone has heard of light bars being stolen from the lower grill? Seems like it would be a bit more difficult than roof mounted bars.

Yeah, I've heard that.. That's why I swapped my bolts to security Torx, and loctited them in. The advantage to having a 30" bar in the lower grille is that there's no room for an allen wrench to get in there. Couple bucks for peace of mind is worth it.

Well came on here to inquire about getting a mount but I see that is no longer an option. Can anyone assist me on other options for mounting?

Thanks!

You can always use some angle iron and screw it into the bumper crash bar.

MojaveMadman · May 18, 2016

Mounts are available again!!!

sneakypete · Jun 17, 2016

does having the light bar installed inside the lower grill of the 2016 effect the spread of the light?

MojaveMadman · Jun 17, 2016

If you want a spot only (4D), then there is not any noticeable interference with the Stealth mount, it shines out just fine and lights up at a distance great. Now if you are wanting the flood lighting from say a 3D spot/flood combo LED then you will lose a little bit of flood lighting, but not a lot. You basically lose the real wide flooding because the LED is set back a 1.5" behind the grill. But you still get a good amount and people have had nothing but great feedback on the amount of light they get from the Stealth location.

sneakypete · Jun 17, 2016

thanks, appreciate the reply. I love my fenix rc40 and for sure want to add light to my truck. wish there were more videos showing throw and lighting comparisons of these bars on the road. do you have any links?

MojaveMadman · Jun 17, 2016

I do not. But there are some shared photos and descriptions from people in this thread that may help.

I got in on the recent GB and picked up the stealth mount and the 3D led. Super stoked to get them and install. I will post some pics as soon as the install is complete including output shots.

I have Rigid pods on ditch light brackets so I am not too worried about losing some flood on the sides as the pods will provide that lighting for me.

This is the best way to do it!!!

MojaveMadman · Jun 20, 2016

Starting to recover from the GB. I will have a few sets in stock by Friday ready to ship!

BLaPointe · Jul 10, 2016

These look great! I'll keep these in mind for the future, might be needing a set as in planning a cross country drive from Alaska to New York for my PCS drive. No LED bars on the truck yet but figure they might be cheap insurance driving the wilderness highways through Canada!

Asta · Jul 10, 2016

Definitely interested in these mounts, they look really good! Any in stock?
