A couple of pointers / helping tips...

40 inch bar is just a tad to big to fit IMO..
Legs and bolts are WAY close to seams on outer edges....
...PLUS , the holes for the sun visor mechanism line up with a 38...
...making the bolting easier :thumbup:

( I know..cause I originally got a 40 inch... and didnt fit it :_brickwal )

BEWARE.. when you settle on placement...
REMEMBER that the sun visor 'mechanism' protrudes into the double roof layer.
DO NOT place Light bar legs so bolts interfere with this mechanism.....
.... I got LUCKY!!

To get it centered... I ran a tight string down center line of car..
...and matched this to the marked center of the light.
This is IMO way easier than measuring and marking the domed roof.

~~~~~~~~

It isnt wired yet... being color blind.. I'll leave that to an expert!

But I like the look...and "jumped" the wires to a drill battery...

... its BRIGHT :thumbup:

Cheers

Nice, I mounted mine directly on the roof too. Looks good on yours near the windshield.

For sure... :thumbup:


Let's plan for a night run this year in Moab.

I was thinking about this as I was fitting the bar!

How about Kane Creek... backwards.

Go down the usual exit late afternoon...

..hang by the creek...come out in the dark?

Could be fun... I'm sure we'll figure something out !
