I I just got a 40" led lightbar and now I need to mount it but, I don't really feel like spending $150 for a prefabbed mount and I don't need anything fancy, just somethin to get the job done so any mounting ideas are much appreciated! Thanks!

Unless I'm mistaken this belongs in Cherokee Chat. Someone is going to read the thread title and assume you found a new method.

Its true. This has been flagged for relocation. This is for stuff that you alreAdy fabbed up.

Op, take a pic of your light bar and we can try and help you better

Just depends where you want to mount it and what your mounting it to.

zumer715

oh ok my bad sorry guys. So is it moved now or do I need to do something to move it? And anyways, I will post some pics later today when I get a chance, but it is a 40" bar that I'm hoping to mount using the rain gutters since I have a 2000 with short roof rails and I'm hoping to mount it about 6 or so inches back from the windshield to hopefully avoid glare off the hood. Thanks, and happy Fourth of July y'all!!

Def when you post pics well get a better idea. My question to you. Can you weld? Gutter mounts arnt hard to make and some don't even need welding, just a drill press. Id have to measure the roof to get a better picture but after you make gutter mounts, just need a flat piece with a 90° angle which the light would mount too. Again, after seeing the sides of your light, it'll be eAsier to say

ok here's some photos and yea I can weld and I have a drill press and I've tried searching for gutter mount write ups but haven't had much luck. Thanks!

There's the jeep it's goin onto

u can drill thru the gutters, set a piece of angle iron on the top, use some tubes for spacers and screw into the angle iron from under the gutter. would be a good idea to touch up around the holes with a little bedliner or undercoating.

Ok, you have the similar light to me. Im not home right now but there is simple design. Try googling it and there are pictures.

Also, after you make the mounts, just get some square tube and weld to the mounts. Then drill light bar to the tubing. You Can easily get this done in a short afternoon

zumer715

alright will do! Thanks for the help! And do you think you could post a photo of your light bar set up? I'm just kinda interested to see how others have done it. Thanks!

zumer715

Awesome! That looks great, I'm thinkin about gettin a bar like that for my front bumper too, does it throw a good amount of light?

sycoglitch
