So I Bought a 52" led bar on sale($80), and I want to mount it on my roof. Anyone have any suggestions on brackets or other methods to mount it? Thanks! Picture just for fun haha
I'm not on Facebook, but if that guy is on titantalk.com or has other contact information. I might be interested in some depending on the price. I just can't bring myself to drill a hole in the roof of my 15.
Interested as well but are all mounting brackets universal or do you actually have to get some that are specific to a Titan? Also, for the wiring I'm assuming a hole will have to be drilled to get the wire inside and down the pillar?
Btw got a hold of nick .. The mounting of the bar is down right smooth....
So I'm probably going to order the bar and the brackets once I find a good deal on a 50-52"... I would prefer not to pay $350 for a RC one although it comes with the complete kit to wire up (harness, switch, relay, wiring).
I got mine from www.lightbarsupply.com
My friend put me on it because he ordered his from there and love them! Got mine for a little over $100 and it came with two 4" ones too.
Thanks for the link! I'm eyeing that curved 50" bar but how do these lights compare with other bar lights out there? I mean is there brands people normally go with vs these?
They're good quality lights. The mounts for them are pretty decent, but of course I'm not wanting to drill into my roof if I can avoid it. But then again, I don't want to pay $90 for two little brackets. Haha
I make and sell these really high quality light bar brackets to a company called SocalSuperTrucks. We sit the light bar as close to the windshield and as far down as possible to give it the cleanest look we can. And heres a pic of mine for reference, if you need an actual measurement let me know, and ill get it to you.
Hey quick question guys , anybody with an SE package have a LED light bar? Because I have a cap on the front of my roof that may not permit the roof mounted led bar.
It is your satellite radio antenna. I have the RC mounts for my 50" and it clears just fine. It's raining right now but let me try to get a pic and I will post it.
But just from general experience of fixing leaks on Titans good forbid that weld goes or you have a headliner leak [emoji31][emoji31]..
So it looks good but the gaskets needs to be very damn reliable...
I may look into extra protection like a thin butyl tape because the gaskets may require replacement sooner than later in this south fla rain and heat ...
Wire is on the passenger side. That's where it comes out on my bar.
I thought the same with the gasket. I took some silicone and ran a bead around my mounts and where my wire goes in. Figure I will do that once a year or so just to make sure things stay good. It's a pain in the *** to get it around there in the rain gutter. Took some time, but, it can be done.
Pulled the trigger on the 50" light bar. Need a lil help on the brackets ... I need to confirm on brackets that come with some type of grommet for the power wire ... Lmk what you guys are using
I just installed my light bar a few days ago and I got my Rubber grommet from Lowes....they have them in the drawers in the same section as all the different screws and such. I was worried about drilling holes in my roof but it turned out pretty good and I added silicon where the brackets mount to the roof and my grommet fit perfectly so no silicone was needed at all......just be careful you don't drill the wiring hole TOO big!:big_grin:
It's going to be Monday before I'm back at home. I was heading to the airport when I took that pic this morning. I've got the RC mounts. Solid. No complaints there. The grommet is kind of part of the wiring harness that came with the light. It fits tight but I still ran silicone around it also. I will try and get pics of it when I get back in KC on Monday.
Here is a pic of the guys truck that I asked about the install. I used the same Grommet....im at work right now but it was the smallest one they had. The only difference between this install pic and mine is I didn't put the connector on the roof, mine is on the inside of the truck.
Has anyone used both roof and bumper mounted lights to compare, or is it simply that the very large lights are only practical on the roof due to space required?
So where are you guys buying your lights from besides the earlier link given? I've been browsing eBay and prices are all over the place from $86-250! Some are actually fitted for the titans which include brackets and hardware. Osram's, Phillips, Cree, ect...
Lol! I'm still trying to convince myself drilling holes in my roof will be fine. Also Kappa, did you decide to get those $90 brackets?
I have a question for everyone.....the 2 spotlights that came with my roof mount kit, do you all think I could get away with mounting them on the Bed of my truck on each side right behind the Cab and using them to ward off tailgaters (unofficially) and using them as additional lighting at night backing up in the dark (Officially)?:big_grin:
the problem with that is it is ticket worthy if caught with them on. and if there is an accident caused from it , that is on you as well.
Does it work, sure does! back in the day I had KC Dayliters on the wheel tubs and the tailgaters would back off or get their retinas burned.
I saw a few guys on this thread interested in the roof light bar but not wanting to pierce a hole in the roof for the wiring. I ran the wiring down the edge of the window which honestly nobody even notices until I point it out. Here are a few pics (sorry it's dark out) if y'all like the way it looks I can tell you exactly how it was done.
