So, I had a light bar sitting in the garage for the past year from a truck I got rid of. Didn’t feel like putting it on my current truck, so figured I might as well use it on the pioneer.
Unfortunately it was too wide to use the factory rigid mounts. I ended up welding some strap to the old mounts to extend them where the brackets reached. Before I went this route I spent a bit of time trying to come up with a different solution, however this turned into the lesser evil.
I’m happy with how it came out. It’s not wired in yet as I’m waiting for a new crimper to come in before I can install and run the wires for my 2nd battery setup. I had one and have no clue where it went. Sigh, I’m sure I’ll find it a few days after the new crimper gets here.
The bar is a little wider than ideal for where it’s mounted, unfortunately it blocks a little bit of the headlight beam, about 1/2” of the back of light bar gets light up with the lights on. Not a big deal in the end.... this bar puts out an insane amount of light, and being curved, it lights up a really wide path.
