Fj62 52" LED light bar installed!!!

Took most of the weekend but my eyourlife (amazon special) light bar is installed. I bought some rough country brackets for a Chevy Silverado and modified them to work on my rig. Wiring through the inside of the A pillar. Rocker switch on the dash.

Nice! I'm not a big fan of the bars mounted like that but I'm digging your set up, nice and low profile. I'd ask more about the mounts but I'm building a RR and will mount a 28" and 2x 7" there.

I'm not a fan of light bar look on those old style rigs but yours looks pretty good.. more detail on the brackets ..? ( detailed pictures )

@Tapage. I'll get some close up pics and post them.

To knock down hood glare I may have a friend of mine put a light coat of matte black rhino lining on the hood. It'll match the lower 1/3 of the body.

I'm interested in your method of wiring route, as well as a follow-up on your hood glare solution?

Food For Thought .....
It's a little difficult to see in this photo but the light bar is actually recessed into the roof rack ( the upper bar of the roof rack sticks out approximately 2" beyond the light). This design should protect the rather expensive light bar from limbs and other hazards.

Had to fab up some brackets but just fill the gap below the roof rack.

Would I mount up there again? No. To much light reflection off the hood. That being said it will light the world up and it's not coming down

This is my setup. Lower bar eliminates the hood issue and also helps to keep the wind noise down.

Which rack is this?

Hey quick question, how did you hide the wires? how did you route them?

Thanks.

Absolutely do this. Otherwise the glare will be so bad you will hate using the light.

While it does not look at cool, mounting it as low on the roof as you can and further back, will allow the roof line to shadow the hood and avoid blasting it with light from the light bar.
