Mounted, but not wired (yet). Also pictured here is the one bolt on each side that was on the outside of the bed. I might need to mask the light again and paint a bit of black on its face to match the bed's camouflage pattern. Wiring sure is a time consuming devil. I decided not to cut...

I've been working at adding two 24" light bars to the truck, one above the fuel tank on the passenger side, and the other by the pioneer tool rack. Both will use the front mud flap in those locations as a mounting point, with a very simple fabricated bracket on the other sides to bolt to the...

I just wanted to update this thread on some developments regarding the mounting brackets. The light bar really shook side to side and I only noticed a developed crack in the aluminum bracket once I had taken them off to be reinforced anyway. After the crack repair and reinforcement (no, I...

HAH! Tell your War department that I'm sorry for the impeding divorce. :-P Well, the good news is, these 66" Ibis Tek lightbar kits aren't as expensive as what they were when I bought mine. But I'd honestly suggest some LED light bars (less big holes drilled in your windshield frame) - unless...

Driving with the hard top off the truck I could see how much the light bar actually shook and vibrated. I've removed the mounting brackets (which are aluminum) and I'm having them reinforced, strengthened, and stabilized. After the brackets were removed, I noticed one was already cracked. I...

The thread was active just this year, so not so old ;) The member I bought this 66" light bar from does not have the control boxes or wiring harness for sale separately (the switches and harness only came with the longer light bars). You will need to build your own wiring harness, supplying...

I finished the camouflage paint job and had a larger spacer spacer made (2", vs the old 1") for a total spacing of 3" (I reused one of my previous 1" spacers) - no more twisting/flexing the side brackets wrong like I was doing. I also had the spacers made to the correct (flush) length this time...

Even though the paint is so nice on the light bar, my duce just isn't desert tan. I finally decided to attempt to paint it to match with my new shipment of Rapco CARC brown & green substitute spray paint. I conveniently already had the light bar in pieces to fix the ballasts issue, so I masked...

A warning/heads-up to all Ibis Tek light bar owners: In my opinion, these Ibis Tek light bars have an issue with the internal metal brackets that are supposed to hold the HID Lamp Ballasts in place. These, in fact, are made of too flimsy of metal and vibrations or jars (even from just FedEx...

No, not by itself. It requires manual action by the driver to get out, pull the retaining pin, swing the cover down, and put the retaining pin back in place. The pin holds the cover both open and closed (no flopping around either way), and the clip keeps the pin from coming out. Like a giant...

That's a good point, I will. Thanks! Best to change to wider spacers, shaped the correct size though.

It wasn't exactly easy to put on by myself though, especially with a hood out to "get you" on its mind!

It also doubles as a sun visor but I can't see it from the driver's seat (that doesn't mean though that it won't help keep sun outta the truck though). The hood lift from BBQROD was PERFECT, and IMO, absolutely necessary since the lightbar will not allow the hood to stay open without lashing...

Of course, I need to take a picture at night now too... ;)

Since this was designed for a HMMVW, and my cab is narrower, I swapped the brackets - passenger bracket on the driver's window frame, and the driver's bracket on the passenger window frame. However, that made it a little too wide so I had some aluminum blocks fabricated about the same size as...

I've had this 66" Ibis Tek lightbar for nearly 2 years (purchased from a member here, TedG). So last weekend I thought I should do something about it! I will say it really hurts to drill 1/2" holes in you truck's windshield frame (the lower holes I put in bolt sleeves, but just the 5/16" bolts...
