50inch overhangs the edges of the sports bar and even the width of cab way too much Stef. I went for the 42 inch and I reckon it looks alot neater.

Yeah definitely mate. I gotta admit, I was very disappointed that it didn't fit. It looked like a bloody ladder rack

I will mate.... when I finish it
Was making a custom bracket but my mate who imports the light bars has got some different adjustable mounts coming next week. Gunna give those a try. Then I'll have no excuse but to finally post a build thread. It's only taken 8 months

Hahaha sounds like a plan!
Anything wrong with just using the original brackets?

The brackets that came with it bolt on to each end of the lightbar, and they just hang over the curve at the end of the sports bar enough to not get a flush enough mount. The mounts I have coming are adjustable as they slide through a channel underneath the light. Will be a shitload easier and neater install.... I hope

Hey Sam,
The bottom of the light bar sits exactly 1.005 inches from the top of the sports bar.
