P1000 recommendations for light on 1000-5?

[rzback]

Currently trying to figure out if I want a light bar up front or some cubes. Will either go with Rigid or Baja. Any recommendations/thoughts?

I love my Xbright mirrors with lights, illuminates the dar areas in the front sides so you can see when turning at night and you can run them ridding behind someone with out blinding them.

I have both. I do like the idea of the mirrors that smitty has

The location of your light bar would last like a fart in the wind where we ride, we ride in a lot of brush and low hanging trees.

The bar is about 2.5" below the roof, and similarly lower than the cage. I haven't so far, and don't plan on running the cage and roof into solid objects. If I screw up and do that, I'm thinking the cost of a new Nilight bar (currently $149) won't be all that high on the "Oh S__t" list compared to windshield and frame damage.

You have to ride here to understand NW AR.

Good point. Alternately, (and a lot less work for me) you have to ride here to understand Nevada's high desert!


Win, lose, or draw? This one looks like a draw.

Been reading that sh** for yrs about a rooftop mounted light bar while beating the hell out of mine. Have yet to see a post where someone had their light bar ripped off. Have had one mounted up there for 6 yrs and we ride quad trails, it's taken serious hits and torn up the casing of the wiring.
Unless you slam it into a 4" limb at the perfect height doing 30mph it's not going anywhere. In that case, they deserve it and need to pay attention to what the hell they're doing.

What length bar and what mounts?

It's a 54" Nilight. Link

I made the mounts, installed with 1/4-20 Rivet nuts installed in the upper cage gusset.

I think someone on here makes a set of those upper mount brackets tor the p1000. You can find them on ebay.
