roof racks/ light bar let me see them

[dirtbagXJ2103]

i was at the pamona offroad expo and walked in front of a 40" led about 20feet away and i felt the heat before i saw the light

 

[crazyjim]

btw that is not a vision x light bar, it is a "rose racing" light bar and it is as bright if not brighter than the visoion x and a 40" only runs about $850-900 as opposed to $1200-1500 for a vision x.

They're sponsored by Ridged lighting... they already have a light bar in the works

Fixed that up for you. And Rigid's optics are way better than any other right now. I went by their shop the other day and they had a new flashlight that uses five of their new 10 watt emitters. It was without a doubt the brightest thing I have ever seen. Makes my 5 cell mag light look like a candle. I'm trying to talk them into filling a section of our light bar with those.

Here is mine.

Did you use a tubing roller to get that bend?

 

[Cache96]

no, we used a jd squared bender to make a flow with the windshield, although the roller would of been nice.

Best picture I have with the lights on.

6" Daylighters, custom mounted up to the rack

rose racing's rep told us the other day that their lights are made by the same company as vision x. is rigid makin lights for vision x too?

Cache96 - how is that bar resting on the windshield (if it is)?? That bar is sick! nice work!

I have a Carr lightbar that hooks into the gutters... Im in the middle of re-building it now actually... Ill post up if I ever finish it. I have the cheapest lights you can find on it. They are 6" with the large housings. KC covers. I'm putting 100w bulbs in them, extending the bar to fit the XJ (pulled it off my explorer), and bed lining.

I like the pre-runner style you guys have been posting. Having it come down the windshield a bit looks sick. Gives it a low-profile kinda look. But I'm kinda stuck with this carr thing... Mehh... Hope the 100w bulbs make a difference. Changing from 55w bulbs.

Nope, Rigid is made by Rigid here in Mesa, AZ. Their lights are 100% built in the USA.

 

[DieselSJ]

Ohhhhhh so you're going to be running TWO led bars. I officially hate you

Well, your gonna hate me even more now!

Just got back from Rigid and we finalized the lighting for ORAF. In addition to the 40" amber that we already have...

40" white (spot reflectors)
24" white (spot reflectors)
6" white (flood reflectors) x2

Plus this really cool hand-held spotlight.

So who makes a good light bar? If I make one it will weigh a ton. Anybody got some good pics of a quick release set up? How would you make it adjustable from in the cab?

here is my heep oh lightbar

Those light have got to bounce something fierce. You need to at a minimum run a brace to the top of the rack from the back of the light mounting.

thats what im doing, i pretty much got bored and bolted some stuff to my roof rack. i'll have something proper built soon

 

[G.P_XJ]

well i got bored this past weekend and decided to build a light bar.

Let me know what you think.

the lights are 6 inch KC apollo's, they are great little lights and cheap

 

[stumpXJ]

Might as well add my newest creation.

 

[BlueGerbil]

Take a Hannibal roofrack, a piece of Aluminium and a LED light bar...

Rinse...
Repeat...

In 2011:

Vision X XIL-2610, 26x 10W LED

Rinse some more...
Repeat again...

In 2012:

Vision X XIL PX 7810, 78x 5W LED

Why?
I work for the german reseller of Vision-X, that´s the only reason - couldn´t afford that otherwise.

 

[stumpXJ]

Jan, what did you do with the old light bar? The 26 x 10 watt setup in the first picture.

 

[lilnapsak]

ive got a 40" rigid bar waiting to go on. hopefully getting someone to bend me tube tomorrow.
