Roof racks and LED lights

[Icepuck72]

Could those of you that have roof racks/baskets post them up if you've added LED's, Rigids or knock offs. I searched, and can't find a dedicated thread. If you find one, just post it here.

Gracias.

Gobi Stealth Rack with 2x Hanma 7.5" bars and a 13.5" bar.

How about some pics from [MENTION=46025]HokieRunner[/MENTION] [MENTION=44999]HOJeepster[/MENTION] [MENTION=69441]Dawg4Runner[/MENTION] [MENTION=84676]Tayzorz[/MENTION] & [MENTION=79982]T4rman[/MENTION] to get this thread going

edit- wiring goes through the firewall, up the A-pillar and through a hole I drilled under the rack foot mount. Could've went to the rear, out, and back to the front but I didn't wanna run that much 14 ga wire.

Some other info like where/how you guys ran wiring up there might be helpful too.

Perkins Performance Roof Rack custom designed by [MENTION=20116]darkie3495[/MENTION]. Rigid Industries 40" E Series LED Light Bar.

Removable grate over sunroof (no longer useable with current light bar)

Adjustable bars

Oem FJ light switch

Wiring runs under the passenger side lower roof rack tube then under the rear roof gutter molding. The wiring then runs down along the rubber gasket for the rear hatch door, under the tail lamp assembly and enters through a rubber grommet below the tail lamp. Power comes from the auxiliary battery.

both of your rigs are insane. Thanks.

I think when I actually decide to do this, I will run wire to the back....I can't drill into the roof just yet.

I don't know why I'm asking since I'm obviously not going to buy one, but is the grate not usable at all or just not removable with the light in the way?

I had to weld a couple of tabs on the rack for the legs of the light bar to mount on. The tabs and the light bar legs prevent the grate from being installed. The grate could be modified to work but since I've never had to use it in the past and probably will never need to use it in the future it's not an issue.

I see, thanks for the reply. And I hear ya, I've only installed my gobi sunroof cover once... the day it arrived... so I would be familiar with putting it on. Kinda wish I hadn't spent the extra coin. I'm sure there are plenty of folks that use it, but I'm not one of em.

Good idea on running the wire back through the rear hatch. Is there an equally convenient way to run the wiring down the front?

Just some duallys, small but still very bright.

40" single row combo does the trick for me, better than the 30" dual row spot.

That is a clean truck Jeepster! Looks great.



Here is mine. Chopped up the front of the baja rack and recessed the 40" Hanma.
