P1000 50 inch curved light bar

[Topguntrigger]

Has anyone had any success mounting a 50 inch curved light bar up high just under the roof lip?

I’m finding some mounts online but they’re all for a 54 inch?

Any help is appreciated

Do you already have the light bar? And what roof are you running?

Mount it on the hood. Its a better more sturdier location

Curious how you've got your tow set?

My tow set? Oh the tow on my wheels. Its straight as an arrow. The pic was taken up close. Its deceiving

 

[Scrappapotamus]

The angle that your front wheels are set to?You look to have an extreme amount of tow out

I corrected my first answer. Took me a min to know what u were asking cuz my steering tow is straight as an arrow, so is my Talon. The first pic was taken 3’ from the rig me leaning up against my shop bench. Funny angle so the tow looks out

Gotcha. Looked like it would be fun at speed. Nice bikes

Thanks but I hate to tell you….there not bikes!!
They have 4wheels, there side by sides!

 

[Scrappapotamus]

Agreed. For some reason everyone seems to refer them as bikes on here.

As to whether a hood mount is better, that's debatable. Under most conditions, except fog and rain, higher mounted lights are preferable in the opinion of many. But higher mounts are typically more difficult to install. Roof mounted lights can also put the light in harm's way for striking objects, this is the reason I mounted mine a couple of inches below the top of the roof - figured if I smack something hard enough to damage the light, the roll bar is gonna bring things to an ugly stop right quick. I made my own mounting brackets, but there are some being sold on-line. The light is a Nilight 54".

I totally agree with you. The higher that light is the better. And if set right there won't be any glare off the hood. If I tear up the light bar that is going to be the least of my concerns because the roof and rope is gonna be messed up too!

This. Light is much better in adverse conditions and easier on the eyes not looking through it. Nice being more protected and less weight up high.
Have it both ways currently because Talon was easier to mount up towards the top but really prefer under windshield.

Actually they don't. Only a select few but are quickly corrected. There are a few scraglers here and there.
I haven no idea why? Cuz they came from a dirt bike🤷‍♂️
I had bikes and know the difference between 2&4 wheels 🤣

Thanks for the complements.
as for the intake, I cant take full credit for it. My good friend @joeymt33 Invented the Idea to fix the water ingestion to our lovely 16’s. Simply put, where the intake is under the hood you get a pice of aluminum pipe the same size then a fernco to connect it then cut it to the size you like. U can put whatever top cover u like. Some like a cone filter. I like what joey and i have as the true snorkel look. There is a documented section my my P1 build on it for further reading if u want.

@Topguntrigger As a matter of fact, my other good friend @CumminsPusher has the same snorkel top look. i think he did it before I did mine. Either way, he has a nice look to his u might want to check out
