SuperchargedRS Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 So how do you guys put lightbars on the top of your loyales? What do you use for the bar, how are you running the wires in (weather-proof?)??? Thanks btw, I'm running 3 or 4 7" HIDs, still havent decided on if I want to pony up for four or run three (as if I only put two up top the car would look like a d@mn mouse). -S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Beast I Drive Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 I used a bar for a fullsize Bronco that I got super cheap.... I just shortened it a bit, and drilled holes through the roof, and used lots of silicone to seal everything. The only thing I would do different is how I ran the wiring, Im still not sure why I did it the way I did it..... Thats the only real picture I have of the light rack.... -Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Beast I Drive Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 I ran a single power wire up through the roof no where near the mounts, so its in a ridiculous location. If I were to do it again, I would run the wire inside the mounting legs on the drivers side. Kinda a pain in the rump roast, but Ive done it before on other rigs and it makes things 1000 times nicer in the end. I still have no leaks though, I siliconed the snot out of every place water could possibly go.... -Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uberoo Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 I have some lights like that too.except mine came off a nissan 720 at pull and save. They are mounted on a piece of 2x1 extruded aluminum(came with the lights).I just drilled straight through the roof.The wireing is exposed because I really didnt feel like trying to run them through the bar and connect them up... Just wish I could do something about the light bar shaking on rough roads...The sheetmetal of the roof is pretty flemsy.I dunno maybe a fender washer on the inside rather than a regular washer...

Markus56 Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 (edited) I zip tied some wal mart lights onto a thule roof rack and ran the wires in the gutter down the A pillar down to under the hood. works great. you can kind of see the wire behind the radio antenna, but other than that it is invisible the only problems i had were when a tree branch broke off one of the lights. thanks to the zip ties, it didnt sustain any damage and i found it on the ground 2 days later and re-attached it. Still works! Edited October 9, 2009 by Markus56 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoobieDoo Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 Gutter mounted yak rack, some U-bolts and L-brackets. Rock solid and no drilling required with the wiring run up the gutter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
