$20 ditch light mounts

[RangerAJS]

EDIT: this is a work in progress. Not as easy fit as I thought. Will update in the morning! There is an issue with driver side wiper hitting. One member did a cut and weld fix. I’m trying a little different route. Apologies for any false hope!

I was Looking for an affordable ditch light mount since I couldnt see paying upwards of $100 for a couple pieces of bent metal. I may be cheap, but Get real on those prices. So I took a chance on Amazon and ordered the following mounts for a Toyota:

They fit almost perfectly And they look great. So save yourself at least $80 and buy a couple of lights for your new brackets instead of just the brackets.

EDIT: a fellow member pointed out an issue with wiper clearance. Going to update tomorrow with more info.

@ofcranger - Thanks!

Almost perfect? What mods did you have to do to them? I've been looking to add some to my truck

I should edit that post…..I didn’t do anything to modify them or the truck. I guess perfect is a relative term. They fit GReAt! Just barely enough clearance where the back of the bracket comes out and meet the windscreen area. I have no idea what the $100 mounts look like, but these are a winner in my book. Literally took me 20 minutes to get them in. I’ll check back in this weekend when I get them wired up. Hope that helped!

I did a very similar set up. Looking forward to using the wiring harness kit. I also ordered the lightforce switch plate fascia to make it look factory.

Check this thread…one person cut a couple inches off, but I didn’t feel the need.

Have you confirms everything from hood opening at all ranges to using your wipers? I am going to order a pair, but just want to make sure. As you indicated the other guy cut his because it was causing interference.

You are correct sir! Crap! Back to the drawing board. Will update tomorrow. But I’ll get it figured. I recall one user saying they adjusted the holes so it can move forward a bit and clear the wiper. Thanks OFC Ranger for your observation!

Glad I asked. I thought it would be odd for it to work for one person, but not the other. Same product, same truck. Let me know what you come up with. Out of everything I do project wise I do not have welding equipment or knowledge so generally speaking my projects opt for heavy duty nuts and bolts. Sometimes a little splash of JBWeld Steel Stick is involved.

Hi Guys. I see this old thread. Are these brackets a thumbs up or down? I'm really not inclined to do too much on the mod side. I'm a plug & play kind of guy.
