Turn the light bar upside down to gain access to the fasteners holding the two mounting
feet to the light bar. There is a total of 8 fasteners; 4 per mounting foot.
Slightly loosen the nuts fastening the two mounting feet to the light bar so both the
mounting feet can be adjusted alongside the light bar. There are 4 nuts per mounting foot.
Remove the center mounting pad located on the two ends of each of the mounting foot.
Totaling 4 mounting pads. This opening will be where the mounting bolt would be inserted
to permanently mount the light bar onto the roof of the vehicle. Refer to Mounting
Diagram # 1.
Return the light bar to its right side up position.
Select a desired mounting location on the roof of the vehicle. Consider mounting the light
bar above the B-pillars as this is often the location of the roof which the strongest
structural support is present.
Position the light bar over the roof of the vehicle onto the desired mounting location.
Adjust the two mounting feet alongside the light bar to position the mounting pads as
close to the edge of the roof as possible. Make sure that all mounting pads are in contact
with the roof of the vehicle and that there is at least 1/2” of space between the bottom of
the light bar and the roof of the vehicle.
Once the light bar and its mounting feet are properly positioned, slightly tighten the nuts
fastening the two mounting feet to the light bar and mark the position of where the
mounting holes on the vehicle’s roof are to be drilled.
Remove the light bar from the roof and turn it upside down.
Proceed on tightening the 8 nuts fastening the 2 mounting feet to the light bar.
Return the light bar to its right side up position.
Place light bar over the roof of the vehicle over its desired mounting location one more
time to make sure the holes on the mounting feet are still aligned with the markings made
in step # 8.
Remove the light bar from the roof and adjust the position of the mounting feet
if necessary.
If the mounting feet and the desired mounting holes align properly while performing step
12, proceed on drilling the mounting holes onto the roof of the vehicle. De-burr all holes.
Place the light bar onto the roof and proceed on fastening the light bar onto the vehicle
using the included hardware. Refer to Mounting Diagram # 1.
