Low profile light bar
I thought I would post some pics of what I did with a low profile lights bar. It is connected to the roof rails so my basket can come off. I wanted something that would look close to stock, have little wind noise, and have little effect on gas mileage (when the basket is off). My inspiration came from the last Bond Rover. https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/landrov...915377c7fe.jpg https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/landrov...1ac923d1d5.jpg https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/landrov...04bd29ab73.jpg https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/landrov...8c093565ee.jpg https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/landrov...3153087eea.jpg https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/landrov...42578179cd.jpg |

all you're missing is the model in the last picture

Looks awesome! How’d you do it?! |
Disco5fl, are you referring to the light bar? Mounting? Wiring? I can go into detail if I knew what you were after. |
Primarily mounting. Thanks! Which size bar is that? |
@MudDisco - how do you like the Kuat basket? I’m thinking about getting one. Is it the Vagabond X? Are you thinking about running boards to reach it without having to have the door open? |
@MudDisco, I'd definitely like to know how you mounted and wired it, as well as which light bar you went with.
Thanks. It looks great. |
Bchbum, I love the rack, primarily due to the integrated bike mounts. It is tall though so access from a running board is not that likely. The door sills sit a few inches higher which I need to unlock, lift and clamp my bike in place. I'm 6'2" so I image it would be the same for most. To be honest I can't remember the model, it was an outgoing one that did not have the optional extension. I chose it because it was almost as long as the newer one with extension and got a killer deal. I originally thought I would just add a hitch ( for a bike mount ) for a couple hundred but got the sticker shock of 2 grand. Things to consider if going this route: - roof rack and cages are not silent, if you like silence on the highway, it will not be. - height, it adds a lot to the vehicle, I almost need access height to park in the garage. If there is ice, I will. - this rack is not Aluminum, if I had preference I would pick that due to weight and corrosion ( yet to see any ) - it is a great place to put dirty gear, bikes etc. - fuel economy will change by about 4% I will post more pics later today of the rack and light setup |
