How to mount lightbar? Please look

[Mrmonk7663]

I'm trying to mount a Westin light bar on the vehicross. I have the suppossed mounts for the bar. I can't figure out where to mount it. I have taken pics so that someone can verify my mounts are the correct ones.

Thanks for the help,
Mike

It looks like you have the right brackets. The bracket goes up from the bar, so you have to rotate the bracket 180° from how it is in the photo. It looks like that's the passenger side of the bar and I think you have the driver's side bracket on there. Try switching the brackets and pointing them up.

This is my drivers side-


They mount right up front very close to the cladding. The large side with the mounting hole is toward the inside of the bar. I hope I explained that right.

I made a little drawing that might help-


I also wanna make sure you have the right size bar, #30-0015.

BTW, where'd you get those brackets? They look brand new.

I don'se see a number on the bar, but it has the Westin sticker on it. Looks like the right bar. Where would the part number be? As far as where I got the brackets/Bar....I picked it up for like $65 for both from some guy selling stuff in Colorado. I got the bar, brackets, and front full leather bra for under $100. Craiglist special :-) I'm going to try to find the correct bolt because it looks like the bolt hole on the frame where it mounts is threaded on one side. Thanks guys.

Wow, I must have missed that one...or it was a while ago before I got my Dragon.

I got the bar mounted today. I couldn't find a bolt that would thread so I used a 3/8 long bolt and put it through and put a lock nut on other side. Thanks for all the help yall.

Now I need suggestions for good all around lights that fit.

Here's a suggestion for possible auxilary lights-- check-out WARN Industries (yes, the same people who make the Winches). WARN just came out with new "Wireless" off-road lights in various designs that don't require running a connection wire through the firewall. Very slick!!!

oh wow, I like the sound of that. I will definitely check that out Thanks
