    What is a good roof rack to install for a overhead light bar?

    Any recommendations out there?
    I will be using my truck in a new job to divert traffic to another lane and sometimes conduct heavy equipment escorts.
    Thanks.

    I love my Front Runner Slimline II

    For your intent though you may just want brackets if you don't need the storage space a roof rack gives you.

    I don't really know since I don't have them. If it was me I'd just check out ebay for a basic set and then hit them with an extra coat of spray paint before installing.

    Prinsu makes some heavy duty roof racks. They even make some with a cut-out for a 30” or 40” light bar. Don’t remember which but check them out
