Rigid LED's on a Gobi Stealth, what exactly do I need?

[mikemike_bc]

Hey guys;

Inspired by Balcs1 and many others here I have decided to go with the Gobi Stealth (already ordered) for my 2014 Trails Premium and I am going to go for the 4 Rigid industries 6" LED Series E formation lights that others have talked about here.

I tried to do a search on it, but couldn't find much here speaking specifically about the additional accessories I might need for mounting the lights on the Gobi. So my question is: when I order the lights are there also mountings or brackets I need, also are there security screws that I need to keep them from getting ripped off?

The last question is: I was going to go with a 4 light configuration on top, and I was thinking of flood/white's for the two on the outer bank, and combo/white's for the two in the centre, all pointing forward. Is this the right way to go?

Thanks in advance,
Mike.

You have a few different options here. For front facing lights, most people use the Gobi cradles, but they only have these for 6" light bars I believe. Anything bigger then that and you will most likely need to get tabs welded on. Call Gobi and talk them through what lights you are thinking about and they can do the mounts for you.

I had gobi weld on tabs for my front and rear lights, and then used the cradles for the two outside front-facing lights.

As far as flood/spot goes, it's all preference here. It makes the most sense to but two floods on the outside, but either way it's going to be a crap-ton of light.

Thanks man! I appreciate the answer. I actually got the rack at a discount from a company called "trail duty" https://www.trailduty.com they seem to have good customer service. I will ask them if they can add the welded accessories to the order. I like the idea of the 8 welded tabs.

Rigid Industries seem to have a few options (in terms of part numbers) for the Base Weld-On Slotted Tabs; I guess if I have to get it done aftermarket I'll need to know what diameter the front gobi bar is so I can order the correct Base Weld-On Slotted Tabs. Anyone know for sure?

I am sure freaking out that this thing won't fit into my car port when the lift and stealth rack are on, but similar set ups seem to come in under the 83" clearance I have to work with so I am going on faith.
