Ive heard that too but have yet to have any issues.. i have locking bolts holding them there.. also I got the mount with the rubber strip which i think might hold them still.. although your correct the bar is bent but does not really effect the lights.. I will let everyone know the update on them later.. ive been driving all winter with them on there and no problems so far.. its been 6 months since i put them up and no issues..

Wanted to update too, ive been using a ladder bar from the junkyard as a lightbar for over a year now and it works great. only cost me 10$ and i wire wheeled it and bedlined, also trimmed down the really tall ends so it looks sleek

I drilled thru the stock rack crossover, and mounted Blazer brand lights, used stainless fasteners, run heavy wires for your power and your grounds, power your lights thru relays, not thru your switch. When adding the rack a little bit of limb protection bars added. Workin on a new light bar from my old Sylvania Silverstar headlights, high beams still work. I fabbed the rack also from 304SS.

I got mine from KevinsOffroad.com. it clamps onto the stock roof rails. Its on there! For about 100 bucks it was a great value, great customer service too

Anyone know the size of light bar that fits across the top? I'm too lazy to go measure it right now and was hoping someone would know off the top of their head. I'm thinking a 50" would do it but I'm not sure

I went cheap on mine....I was just thinking that for me I wheel very little at night and I can't always drive with it on so I couldn't find 500 -800 on a rigid industry light...eBay cheapie 79.99 with wiring harness . One pic is just with low beams and fog lights other is with the light bar on
