Rampage off-road LED lighting ON SALE!! Ends 4/5/14

Will be me emailed a USPS tracking number when the mounts ship?

 

Exactly!!!!

 

Got it all mounted up. Not sure why it looks like the brackets are scratched up, they aren't. Nathan and I figured out the major problem but now for the minor one.. I had to mount it so the wires come down on the driver side or else they would be pinched coming out of the bar when I tightened down the bolts. The space between my windshield isn't big enough for me to squeeze those wires in on the drivers side. I have to figure that out but other than that just wiring it up and I should be done (knock on wood).

You will need someone else when you put the bar on to hold one side of the bar while you get the bolt in, biggest pain for me was getting the bolts through the rubber strip.

If you want I can do a write up on what exactly I did, don't have pictures but i can do the best I can.

 

Great job Brian! I Plan on removing the rubber conduit surrounding the wiring to the bar, so that i can easily hide the red and black wires between the windshield and A-pillar.

Glad i could walk you through the process for the most part

 

Hey Eric,

My bar was suppose to come with the wiring harness. This is everything i got

 

Did the box read w/harness on it? But no harness in it?

 

Yeah, the box said "w/harness" but no harness with it.

 

strange. My handwriting too. We'll USPS you one tomorrow.
On another note... how's that bumper!?

 

Thanks Eric. Bumper looks sick!! should have it on this weekend

Ps. For future consideration, it would be best to throw some cardboard underneath the metal straps used to hold the bumper to the pallet. The metal strips scratched off the powdercoat as the bumper shifted/wiggled around during shipping. No biggie though

Thanks again Eric, I'll post pics once installed

 

There is always supposed to be cardboard sheet both between the pallet/PCed bumper as well as under the straps used to secure it down. Looks like I'm going to have to 'remind' the guy that strapped it down tomorrow morning.
Sorry about any scratches that may have happened in freight due to the straps

 

Thanks for posting this. If possible can you give us the detailed how to mount the bracket and drill the holes. Thanks

 

Here you go guys, 52" Rampage RDR mounted up.





Will wire and get some night shots this weekend.

 

That 52" looooooks sexxxxxxy! Just got my mounts today!!! Gonna get it all mounted up and will take some photos of the end result. Thanks again Eric and Nathan for the group buy and the phone calls.

 

This is from Nathan directly:

"there are only two holes per side on the front of our trucks. If you lift the rubber weather strip up, you'll see were the holes are "taped" from the factory, then was painted over... i used a screwdriver to reveal the two M6 mounting holes. (they use these for the factory roof rack.)

from this point, you can locate your drilling locations on the rubber strip."

What I did was get eye level with the roof and hold the drill up to the hole facing across the truck (driver to passenger or vise versa) and then let the rubber strip down and see where the drill bit was with the rubber. I have a pretty good eye at guessing where the holes are while just looking at it from an angle. I used a 1/4" drill bit because I wanted the hole to be slightly smaller than the bolt so it was tight, making it more water resistant.

I know Im not very good a describing but its hard to explain.

 

Can someone that still has the switch that came with the wiring harness, which wire goes in which order? I just had to unplug them and now got them mixed up

 

42" Rampage installed w/ mounts

Now after installing and being super pumped to use it, I have gained a ghostly whistle from the fins of the light bar. Any ideas on how to get rid of the whistle?

 

Depending on the pitch mine is more of a whine that sounds like it would come out of the radio.. Starting around 45mph or so

 

No whistle on the low profile
