Dual 40” light bar setup on a Prinsu rack (1 Viewer)

[Eric Sarjeant]

What’s better than a 40” Rigid light bar? TWO!
Mounted to a Prinsu Design Studios full rack.

Looks great! I could use a rear light bar for tailgaters. Lol! Would you recommend a Prinsu rack as a good option for carrying luggage(Duffel bags). I really don’t want a basket rack but might be a better option since i don’t ever plan to install a RTT. Also, do you have to drill new holes in roof or use existing from the rails? We get a a lot of rain here, so i don’t want any chance of water finding its way in when running the roof light bar or rack. Any recommendations on how to best route the wires and seal any gaps created by this rack, light install. Do you need a separate battery for the Rigid light bar or can you run off current system? I plan on adding a second battery once I install onboard air and other goodies over time. Last question, can I adjust the crossbars that cover the sunroof and rear antenna pretty easily? Thanks in advance.

Thanks. Yeah, totally would rock for tailgaters. Yes, Prinsu is a great rack. It's my personal favorite (because of style and ability to integrate scene lights on the side cleanly). Not saying anything bad about the others, but from my experience, I like aluminum modular racks and that means Prinsu/Front Runner are my go-to.
We have a super clean way to wire them, I'll post a video explaining it soon (trying to get my YouTube subscriptions up). Yes, you can remove the crossbar in front of the moon roof, per Prinsu, it's fine.

Great to hear! How is the wind noise with sunroof open and closed with this setup you have with the light bar on highway?

Not bad at all closed. Not good open.

I never have my sunroof open over 40mph anyways. I was more concerned if you could hear it from inside the cabin while driving on the freeway. If so, I’d have to find a different solution as it would bug my family on our long road trips.

It looks like that rear light sits proud of the rack, If loading say 2x4's you wouldn't you be sliding them on the light vs that first rail?

It's definitely sticking up, so no big wood like me. Don't judge, I didn't have my straps that day.

I use my rack in a similar fashion loading from the back and sliding it up. Which is the reason why I am asking..

I run the front runner slim line 2 rack. My light bar is attached under the the crossbar / read as it does not protrude past the roof rack. The front runner crossbars are slotted on both sides, top / bottom, so it lends itself as an easy mounting option. Look that over as it may work out better depending on how you use your roof rack.

Just finished wiring this up
