gday guru's

As i mentioned in my intro post, Im chasing idea's or best way to mount a 26" LED light bar on the front of my disco4. Im not putting bull bars etc, would prefer a smart bracket system or some way to do it and keep it tidy. I bought a number plate bracket but the front skin is plastic and the bracket wont be sturdy, and definately wont support the 1.5kg light bar..

Help :confused:

Use the search button bottom left of the page on a computer. There's a thread all about it.

Cheers, always good to find out, there's always loads of people on forums pulling the search trigger :)

To be honest, ive spent approximately 30-45 mins searching.. thought might be in the good oil section, searched generic terms, specific terms, can only find two threads, one with a light bar in the top of the grille... and one with a roof mounted 42"

neither are preferable outcomes.

Any help appreciated, and i really mean any help...

I'm not sure that it will be of any more use to you but I find the following very useful for searching any forums.

type into your search browser thingy "site:" (without the "") followed by the site address and then the keywords

example:
site:www.aulro.com light bar

In the preview of this message the site address is coming out as being underlined, its some thing to do with the AULRO site and not required

Hope that helps

that looks good. gives and idea of where things will bolt on and not interfere with the grille. Ill buy some mild steel and have a play this weekend i think...

Time to get the old welder out again.. :)

my bars a little narrower, but thats roughly what i think ill do.

got some good ideas now for constructing a bracket system, and bets of all, will be removable, not cutting anything, maybe a hole or tow is all.

was much effort tapping into the wiring>? im a bit unsure how ill run the harness into the cabin for the switch just yet.
