thanks heaps lets me know there is plenty of room.
The rack is upside down at the moment will see if it will fit with brackets inverted
like Winnie did. At least I can try using that small led bar.
where are the first set of legs sitting on the Patrol, over the "B" pillar?
Edit after much measuring it will fit straight up underneath ,
two extra holes about 25mm each side of whats there, and turn
the mounting brackets around to suit, Done now but no one to help
turn it back over, as my son is having his first fight this arvo.
NOTE 2 x holes I drilled to let the water out
You raised a good point by having the legs over a structural member. Putting it above the "B" pillar puts the weight through the strongest part of the body. Good idea.
Only mentioned it as the guy up the road with one of these 3/4 size racks moved his to the rear for easier access.
but all the legs are half way across windows etc, but he likes it like that, these are heavy racks.
these are the bulls eyes led that I'm putting on the rack,
One every upright the rest across the front they will be wired to my parkers.
Great having a son who's an auto electrician lol
this is how the deflector will look, putting a driving light in each corner 4" HID as well
the white dots are where I'll put the bulls eye leds
Mines a full length rack and if you put the second mount on the b pillar your going to get your windscreen lit up and if you put the front mount on the b pillar it will be hanging past the barn doors. I put mine on then slid it back till the light bar no longer lit up the windscreen and its level with the barn doors.
You should have clearance for the lights under the rack 3d and you have adjustable legs on the rack also mines on the lowest position and I have15-20 mm between roof and light bars.
Cool thanks mate all sorted now , good having that upward adjustabillity to.
now I've got to figure out what lights to put up top.
Those 150mm ones in the pic are amber and white so was thinking indicator and park lights.
The bulls eyes will be APITB but the effect should look ok
things you find when cleaning up your shed, I wanted a good work light for the back.
Luck would have it I had a 27 watt flood light spare, I'll wire this up to a switch in the rear I think..
These lights give great light and draw bugger all at the same time
these are the lights I'm running up top as parker/clearance and indicator/hazzard..
More than bright enough on rainy overcast days IMO
Love those lights 3d's I am very interested how you are going to wire all this up to the car. Once you get to that stage I'd appreciate lots of pictures
My rack seriously needs some lightage. Will be something for next year I think
