[godblessmud]

Hey all im looking for a gutter mount system for my lightbar but i need to know the gutter-gutter measurment on my 1990. Ive found some that are 62" that claim to fit "any fullsize pre 1996"...

Dick Cepek: Had it cut it down to fit on my truck.

Thats the 1 I got for my truck, its not on right now. I do have 1 im trying to get rid of.
This 1 is made by Carr "King Of The Mountain" Its missing 1 of the 4 hold down tabs, shouldnt be to hard to make, might not even need it. If interested, I will be taking 1 or 2 of the lenses out of the lights to fix my broken ones. Thats why I bought this one in the 1st place. This 1 fits ontop the way it is now.

Here is what the tab is like that its missing.

Measure?
If its too big then cut it down, but if your going to error, error on the big side, its easy to take metal out, not so easy to add it in...

With out a welder of course...

I didnt see that he wanted the size of it, where do you want me to mesure from, where it sits in the gutter right?

 

[godblessmud]

Yes...

Im being lazy cause its dumping freezing rain and i dont want to be crawling around ontop of my truck with a tape measure.

Chris how much would you sell that Carr lightbar for? Your taking lenses but what about the lights themselves?
Do you think those little tabs have enough pressure to hold a 100lb lightbar on while wheeling?

Dang, I though this was a thread about drinking

The tabs will hold it on while wheeling. I had a carr on my truck at one time. I traded it to a friend for a set of roll bars.

I will get the measurements for you in a few minutes.

100 Pounds?????

61 1/2 inches outside of drip rail to outside.

I dont think that light bar is going to be 100lbs, unless ur puttin free weights on it. My Cepek one took gettin hit with trees and branches and didnt come lose. Im just taking 2 of the lenses, maybe 1. Its just to fix my one. Thats y I got that bar. All of the lights will stay on it, unless u want them cut off. The Cepek ones measures a tad under 60" and the Carr one measures 59 1/2 with room to adjust. PM for price.

No yall misgot me

Im mounting a big cop style lightbar (an MX7000) for search and rescue. But i dont want to drill through my roof to mount so im trying to build a gutter hook style mount

 

[95F350XL]

misgot me? What?? I think it could hold 100 lbs, its pritty sturdy. Its got a big base.

 

[godblessmud]

you didnt get what i was saying so you misgot me...

Big base but the contact area to the gutter looked small, are those 2 tabs on each side all that holds in on when they are cranked down?

 

[95F350XL]

Yea id say so.
