Hi guys/gals ..
Will a 50" LED light bar fit across the roof of an 80.

will be actually on the roof rather than on a roofrack.

Should. Can you get me a measurement from gutter to gutter? I'll then compare to our lights. Most 50's measure a bit more than 50".

you should get the curbed light bar...
I dont know what the actual benefit of one of those is (if any).

There are a couple benefits to the curved bars, the biggest being the leds are mounted to a curved platform. This gives you more of a "spread" light pattern without wasting light like bars that have a flood pattern tend to do. They also look pimp!

Both the single stack and double stack are 51.5" wide from mounting point to mounting point.

What type of mounts or how do you plan on mounting to the roof Red Oktober?

Sadly this never happened ..

The place I paid to supply the light bar never supplied it .. but took my money quick enough .. and have only just recently got my cash back.

am on the hunt for another led bar but some other things have taken priority. ..

I thought about getting one of those curved bars, but never figured out to to mount it without drilling the roof. Only if there would a gutter mount, I would consider it. @NLXTACY

I could have sworn someone already made a gutter mounted LED light bar mount. Its really not that hard to do.

Well could someone point me in the direction of someone who either sells or makes these mounts?

I really don't remember. It wasn't a production thing. It was something the guy made.

Cut one of these in half and MacGuyver something:

Some kind of gutter mount would be nice. Roof rack style maybe.
