Who wants to see me flash??

[PatrickM]

I finally installed the rough country 40” curved cree bar light, onto my pioneer rhino rack, (
https://www.roughcountry.com/40-inch-curved-led-light-bar-72940blkdrl.html ) by utilizing my own diy brackets (patent pending) jk.
I could have purchased the outrageous priced bracket from rhino-rack but I’m kind of cheap, and didn’t like the look of it. The rhino brackets stick out further, and I wanted the bar light to stay fairly under the pioneer platform.
I used a couple flat and block aluminum metal pieces to create the adaptor, the Cali raised bracket for the 4Runner I believe, and I also used 3m double sided tape to hold down the heavy duty wire harness along the outside of passenger pillar. Ideally I wanted to hide the wires in the channel between the pillar and the windshield, but the wire is way to thick and way to nice to cut up. If you want me to flash this beautiful set, let me know!! Haha ?

How about a pic from further back? I would like to see what the whole thing looks like.

disappointed....but still cool looking lol

I DO have a question though about the lights flashing...when you kick them on, will there be any glare casting down on the windshield? I've always been curious about that with that type of mounting system.

You won't be driving it if flashing. I can flash all my lights with the trigger system but it's just for show. There is no purpose while driving....

When I get the truck out to the desert this weekend I’ll take photos of the inside showing the pattern of dispersion of the light onto the hood. When I tested it out, it seemed like the beam goes further down the road, rather than right down to the hood area, this unit is super bright. Also 2 settings 1 for driving and 1 for zombie apocalypse!!

yeah I didn't mean it flashing...lol

I was just curious if there would be any noticeable glare though.

The cool thing about this bar it has a 2 settings, one for DL running lamps and the second is for zombie apocalypse! although I believe you can run these lights during the daytime, it’s not recommended to run at night, possibly blinding oncoming drivers! And in asterisks it also states *offroad use only!
Obviously I use these while I’m outdoors capturing the beautiful dark skies of Nevada!!

Here’s a couple images while in the cab! First is the normal headlights, second is the roughcountry at full zombie apocalypse!
I believe with my truck wrap, there’s not much glare, so I’m uncertain if a regular paint job would glare.

Here’s a few sample images, finishing off the back bed before I can go out to the Desert?!!
First three are full lights everything on!
the next two are the front barlight only.
The next two images are the barlight as DRL lamps.

so there IS some glare on the hood...but not as bad I thought it might from the LED array.

that is actually pretty cool....there'd be some damn rednecks around here in my area that I'd like to nuzzle up behind with that rig...seeing as they don't know how to adjust their lights when they lift their damn tonka trucks. (sorry...got carried away there)

Overall VERY nice!

Yeah probably a little glare, I haven’t adjusted the angle yet, waiting to get my rack done in the back for the weight change!!
