I dont have a complete how to on the install process of putting the light bar on our trucks. I do have some pics of how mine is on the truck and if anyone has questions i am will to help with answers. I know there some other guys on here that have them that can chime in (redneckstone).

this is the pic of the non gutter mounts and it also shows you how i mounted my bar on to it too. I also recommend changeing the out the tamper proof bolts they strip real easy

Attachment 176784

this after i put the weather striping back to hide it and get a weather tight seal

its not photoshop and its not really attached its just sitting on the channel lol

BananaEdge 01-28-2009 07:53 PM

lol ok but would u put it more towards the front of the cab or at the back again???

Trigger01 01-28-2009 09:20 PM

I would put it closer to the front or at least in the middle of the roof.. Less to get in the way of lighting up the ground.

Do you have any full truck shots with the light bar on?

there is no need for having the bar up front to light up the ground thats what bumper lights are for lol.. thus the lights that will be on my WAAG here in the spring lol... plus 4 150W lights do a damn good job lol

Love the idea I just hate how high they sit up off the roof.

texasfan1000 01-28-2009 10:08 PM

Ford04Ranger4.0 01-28-2009 10:14 PM

Looks sick but not a fan of drilling in to my cab

BananaEdge 01-29-2009 11:43 AM

yea thats where i ran the wires. There was a whole there where they added the extended cab on the back of a regular cab i am geussin and it just worked our perfect. Alll i had to do was make the hole a little bigger to slide the wires through and then siliconed it back up and while it was wet put the weather strip back on so it would help seal it. ill try and get better pics this weekend.

cboveda 04-09-2009 10:39 PM
