Low Budget Roof Rack

[McGrinnan]

I thought about the fan but for it to be effective I think it'd blow my welding gas away & ruin the welds.

An exhaust fan pulls the smoke away but not enough to disturb the shielding gas. We did it at a fab/welding/sign shop.

Extemely busy weekend but was finally able to make some headway on my reverse lights! Gonna set the wiring up tomorrow and hopefully Tuesday get my fuse box in and wired! Here's a teaser till then.

Used the 80 and my 52 in. lightbar to help the fire department and police with this accident. Little old lady fell asleep and came over a curb and turned over 8 ft of a light pole into splinters. Cars totalled, power outage but lady is fine and walked out of the car under her own power.

Finally got the rear lights wired in fully!

here's from about a 100 ft behind the 80

sucky photo I know but trying to give you guys an idea. Here's what my reverse camera looks like without them on.

then with...

who knew my camera actually works quite wells just needed more lighting. Works great as work lights too

Now I just need about 8 more, 4 per side, to fill out the sides and I'll be set. These are mostly pointed down but I may mess with the angles. Thanks @Phildoh and @jcardona1 for the link to the lights. I believe I saw them on your threads.

This is from the top of the roof rack. Like I said mostly pointing down. I'll let you guys know if I change it.

I'm always impressed by ingenuity like this, good job man!

 

[McGrinnan]

@702FZJ80 thank you sir! I have much more planned for this rack.

 

[Phildoh]

@McGrinnan looks great! Yes, I posted a set of these on my thread, haven't installed them yet, they're going to be my rock lights! I have two of the 50" lightbars up top, one front one rear, and love them! Like the approach you took, helps spread the light out a little bit better than a single flood beam!

 

[McGrinnan]

I dig it and figure if I ever need more light I can throw a 30 in. between the railings.
