Lightbars Mounted on top of ARB Deluxe Bar w/o drilling?

Postby TBJ on Thu, 20 Dec 2018 9:02 +0000

Hi all, Since mounting my Lightforce Genesis 50W HID's I've noticed that even with a spread filter that I don't get much light out close and too the sides, so I've been thinking about a Flood LED Lightbar to go on top of my ARB Deluxe bar, what size are you guys running, what brands, I was thinking about a Lightforce Lightbar due to being an Australian company, and only ever having heard good things, and loving my Spotties, also how do you mount them on the bar, making it legal and without drilling into the barwork?
thanks

Hey mate
Due to legalities, i dont think you can mount above your top hoop on your bull bar, I think i needs to be on the underside of your top hoop. Others can clarify

As for mounting without drilling.. stedi make universal light bar clamps which come in all different sizes to suit the bar. Worth a look

Righto I thought that if it didn't obstruct your view it was legal? how have you guys mounted yours? That Stedi mount looks like its the go so thanks for the suggestion has anyone used it and does it move at all on corregations or is it pretty rock solid? Cheers

Arb make a great looking light bar that clamps to the top bar and doesn't protrude above the bar

Also GME make aerial brackets that are readily available and relatively cheap that i have used with great success

They come in 3 different sizes and can be obtained a lot cheaper than the GME website quotes
