Made a Light Bar Mount for Bed Rails

Pretty simple, but effective. I'm sure I'm not the first person tho think of this...

Aluminum angle, 1" square tubing as spacers, 1/2" carriage bolts ground on two sides in the bed rail. All Stainless hardware except for the carriage bolts. Couldn't get them locally and didn't want to wait...


PlastiDip


Finished product (except for plugs for the 1" tubing on the way)




Also replaced my Daylighters with the same 30" bar on the front using pretty much the same method on top of the grill bar.

 

That's a serious reverse light

 

Holy Shit. I hope you don't bright the cop behind you.

 

Not for brighting anyone. Backing my trailer into DARK places...

 

Not a bad idea. I've been trying to figure out what to do with my 40" bar once my bumper gets here.

 

I dare someone to ride your ass down the road though. They would end up in the ditch lol. Where did you run the wires, into the cab or under?

 

I don't think the placement on the rear is going to help with backing a trailer.

 

Nice light on front. What one is that. And how was it mounted and how was install

 

My thoughts exactly

 

It depends on what kind of trailer.....a flat bed then yes but a box trailer I could see it not working well.

 

Yeah, that's why I wouldn't do it. It's blinding... They'd probably end up hitting ME!

 

Oh, it helps backing up my trailer. The light is taller than the trailer. These things turn night into day...

Both lights are from this members thread:

They're both the same 30"

 

Oh, I went the easy route. I ran the wires under the cab. The harness was actually JUST the right length.

 

Great idea man!

 

Thank you sir.

 

Got the plugs in. NOW it's finished.

 

Freaking clean AF!

 

Thank you, maybe two small brackets at the corners? Or, even better, one on each side of the rear of the bed. Using the same method, just in the side rails?

 

Thanks!
