Baja inspired light bar
so I have 4 monster sized Pro Comp H11 offroad lights to light my world up at night while driving my 99XJ
on the right are standard 6" PIAA lights..... like i said, these are huge
time for a light bar......
this is how i plan on setting it up.... I figure on using steel Conduit (3/4" or 1") for the most part... maybe some solid steel rod for some areas....
Just ordered these up to tie it to my roof....
will prolly have some conduit laying in my garage as soon as they arrive

so i come home to this on my doorstep
Mini Yay's!!!
they're a little bigger than what i figured... but thats better for my setup
just mounted one quick for some measurements.....
prolly will get all the measurements down and pick up some stock and then get to cutting and welding this weekend.... maybe have it done and wire up by monday

If you still have those mounts bolted up, could you measure the distance between them for me? I made the mounts for my rack a fuzz too short. Cant wait to see the light bar done!

hahaha i couldn't find any or else i prolly would have
but i got some work done on it today finally
started off with the base "hoop"... this was before i cut down the tube ends..
thought about making a run to the bank with my stack of dimes...
Then threw it on quick for a double check on my measurements....
so thats it so far... ran outta conduit to cut and weld lol so prolly more progress later this week... next step are light tabs, then the top guard/hoop and then the support bars... paint and it should be good....

you like those rail mounts now that you'll taken them on/off a couple times? I was looking for a set a few months back and ended up favoring the JCR mounts; although other projects have now taken priority I wondered how they felt/fit on the truck.

Nice start man! I'm still fabricating my roof rack and I'm gonna order those JCR mounts tonight. I'm glad you like those mounts they look very nice on there! I'm anxious to see those lights up on there! Keep it going!
BTW... you weld conduit much nicer than I do haha
