Discreet 40" LED Lightbar on Factory Roof Rack

Brackets are FINALLY in...I've shot everyone that was interested a PM. Brackets are drilled for the Toyota rack crossbar bracket, and left blank up front for the lightbar hole (to allow options for you).

Hello WildYoats,

Thanks for building these for us. Just 1 tip for everybody. Need to trim the bottom of the bracket by 1/4-3/8 off the bottom to prevent it from contacting the roof. I was testing the brackets on the truck and it made contact. I will trim the brackets to reduce the size this weekend as well as add spacers as I have an 1' gap based on the light I am using. Otherwise thanks for doing the template.

Thanks. Would you mind posting a pic of what you are referring to? I've had no issues fitting mine and I test fit the ones I had made before I sent them out as well. Thanks

I have an 09. Not sure if it's different. Fitment was tight and it would touch. I can make the modifications but I also want to do some other stuff to make it fit better. Will update.
 
Finally got around to coat the brackets (POR15) and added spacers because I was cheap on the LED bar (Amazon 40" led) and it was 1" shorter.

Still need to do the wiring. I got lazy and opened up the holes to push the brackets up higher but they are still a little close.

Any of these brackets left?
 
I love the idea of the low profile light mount on the roof rack. It's been on my todo list but may be awhile before I can get to it.

Just thinking outside the box on the bracketing... I'll likely do mine out of some 1/4 stock aluminum since that's rather easy to work with using wood tools.

Another idea could be to use a common production mount to the stock cross bar. Something like this Yakima Might Mount (23H) may work:
