anti-ricer

I have a 2000 XJ and I just bought a curt roof rack and some Tuff led backup lights. I'm having a hard time finding anything to mount them up with and I'm not going to drill into my rack because it will weaken it and make it rust.I'm wondering If I can use heater hose clamps(the metal clamps) to attach them to my roof rack safely and reliable? I need them to stand up to trail riding and as a daily driver duty. If anyone has used these or know someone who has can you tell me how they done on and off the road.I'm thinking of using 2 on each light to hold them nice and tight so they don't move around any.If anyone has some pics could you post them up thank you.

How big of a hole is going to weaken your roof rack? If you paint it, it wont rust.

I find it ironic your user name is "Anit-ricer" and you are asking about using hose clamps to fasten lights to a roof rack. Lol.

Drill a hole or weld a tab on to the rack and stick the lights up there.

Also, this is not OEM tech. Reported to be moved.

I was making a funny at the fact you are wanting to use hose clamps. Actually, do it and post pictures please. My cousin wants to get an idea for his.

Apparently my first post didnt have anything useful in it.

I will after I findout if it works sir.Im been googling for about 2 hours trying to findout some details.From what Im seen so far it works and will stand up to whatever we take them into.if we think about it these clamps are on a lot of things we use and abuse daily.im sure they will hold up just fine
