My curt roof rack came in today so I got it together and now have a question.


The only way I see to mount the backup lights is to drill a hole into the roof rack.Should I put them on top bar or the bottom bar of the rack.I worry about putting them on the top and getting them knocked off or them being loud cause of the wind going across them. Does anyone have any ideas?

 

i would put them on the bottom bar if it was me..

if you have parking structures where you live, the clearance will be needed.

 

How should I mount them?

 

Through the bottom for sure. They'd look dumb on top.

Drill a hole straight through the tube or if you don't have enough room then weld a tab onto the rack.

 

Only thing I see wrong with going through the bottom is that I cant aim the light.I could weld a tap but my welder is out of argon.

 

time to go grab some argon.

do it right man..

save yourself the depression later.

 

You could always flux core it. Or if you're like me and have a keginator with a CO2 tap, borrow that bottle and use the CO2. ...Or would that be alcohol abuse?
