ok i figure it would be cheaper to just put light tabs across the bumper instead of the light tabs with the angle iron or a light bar or brush guard cuz that kinda kills my pocket...

how many light tabs can i mount? im looking to mount 4 or 5 if its possible!!!

someone give me info!

 

theres only 2 bumper brackets to put light tabs onto, but, from those 2 light tabs, you can fab up a cross bar with 2 more holes for 4 lights (5 is too many and won't fit)
O-O-O-O

 

I believe only 2. Just do what me and fx4wannabe did with the angle iron. It's not expensive.

 

mmmm.... well that blows i guess ill just get a lil flat piece instead of angle iron so it doesnt hang over my bumper cuz it kinda looks tacky

 

IMO the exposed bolts from the lights looks tackier =]

 

If you don't want to fab anything up I have a set of light tabs and the bar so you can mount 4 lights. send me a pm if your interested and I can get you some pictures.

 

maybe a angle iron that has a very very short lip on it in the front with bolts grinded down a bit on the lights to give it a cleaner look would be fine... o well i guess itl be fine ill just fab it up how i want in the end lil dupli coor bed liner spray and were good to go lol thanks for the info everyone

 

The bolts are gonna show up the same no matter what the lights are mounted to. Get 5 feet away and you wont even see them anyway

 

Thats what I wanted to do but I don't have a bandsaw so I couldn't =[. Post up pictures after you make yours.

 

I made light tabs. There's only two bolts to bolt to. Current crossmember is approx 1.50x1". My new one is made out of 1/2 x 2" channel, with one of the sides chopped off, netting a 1/2 x 1.50" piece of angle iron. thicker and better looking imo than my current crossmember. (thanks again chad!)


My outside lights hold the crossmember to the tabs. You can make the crossmember wider, use seperate bolts to hold the xmember to the tabs, and probably fit 5 if you wanted.

Flat bar = non-rigid = bounce = crappy = you'll hate it. Also the lights are easily stealable if you used flat bar. angle iron is a PITA, at least mine is..lights all sucked into the grille and stuff.

Good luck...

 

thanks for the opinions ima go with the angle iron cuz i sure would have to beat someone if i knew they took my lights as a matter of fact i put my initials on the inside of all 4 of my hella 500's when i put them together just incase thier was any thieve that tried to pawn them i could reclaim hahaha

 

this a good set of lights to buy if i just want to step up a bit from the hella 500's but i want to keep the round lights and be able to still fit 2 larger lights on a bar kinda a setup like this oOOo ya know what i mean put 1 500 on left and 1 500 on the right and put the two 1000's in the middle..

hope im not confusing yall but back to my point are these good lights? cuz they have a very good price

Also sorry to double post but are those hella 1000s sold as a pair or singles

 

i'll let you know. it's yours for free...the same way i got it. it all depends on how i like this 1/2 x 2" channel on there...

 

Alright cool, it can be the brotherhood of the traveling crossmember lol
