wow.... this is interesting... what if you just put a bumpstop in the center of the bar?? You can get something so that the rubber doesn't mar the paint.

 

i still think you will get some vibration,unless you make it to where when you tighten it it pushes the rubber down tight

 

wellllll..... then put some limb movers on it like the Rover guys do.... anchor it to your brushguard and you are set....

 

lol........actually,i think if i can get it to press down hard enough,yet not hurt the rig,it should be fine.i just dont want it to be goddy,i will try something,it cant be too hard.i hate talkin about something that i cant go out and mess with right now,it will be nice in the end,i dont have any doubt.does anybody even want one

 

Without 4 mounting points, it's like a lever with all the weight (lights) being on one end.

What I was trying to illustrate with that child like MS paint drawing
(You're dead by the way HJ)
was how 4 mounting points would better balance the bar and offer a more secure/steady
platform for the lights. Even moreso if you moved the whole thing back about 6 inches
on a rig with no sun roof. If the shipping specs were to be believed, 4 KC Daylighters are
12 lbs +. Try holding a 3 foot length of broomstick with one hand and 12 lbs hanging off
the opposite end....Now put a second hand in the middle....See.........

For the record, I have no idea if that made any friggin sense as I;ve been up for 36 hours
straight and just put in another 13 hour day......Someone may have to get out the
decoder ring and translate...

 

sorry gunner,i had to show them what we were talking about,hopefully sunday i can get something figured out

 

Did that explanation make any sense?

BTW: My VP walked in on me while I was doodling that stupid pictureduring a conference call but never said a word.....Uhhhhhhh...It's a VISO diagram........

 

come on now,dont get gunned down,do some recon b4 you doodle at work.lol

 

you two crack me up.....
