guys, looking at a light bar for our G2, I thought pretty serious about one to mount at the top of the windshield at the roof line, but questioned whether there would be too much glare off the glass from the light or not? so also thinking about the bar to mount on the bumper because of that if anyone has experienced the glare problem.
Then on to what is the best way to go for lights? are any better than others? I want something that is going to last.


Thanks,

Ron

Black Oak makes some great lights. Pricey and great quality. I mounted just underneath the roof line. No glare on the windshield. Sorry there's not a better picture. Check out their website

A couple of round LED driving lights...I'd put 'em on the front bumper where there are mounting holes.

A light bar...I'd mount it to the roof, right at the front, but not extending over the front edge.

Just thoughts.

I have seen that EMP makes a light bar mount that goes under the roof line? Anyone tried that? I think it holds a 40-42" light bar

My post above uses their mount. it is a little flimsy though I'm going to be building a roof rack and it's going to have to be reinforced

I attached a two second video so you can see how much the light moves. Pretty annoying. I haven't had time to make it solid. It will be easy though

I didn't use the EMP one, but a similar one from Amazon:

I am using it on a 37.5" light bar from Rural King, but it will also work on 40-42" bars.

 

[rnkburg]

wow, shocked that moves that much. That could be very annoying. What size lightbar did you put in there. I was thinking of a 42"curved to go up there. I had a 52" on my last one and I loved it

I think a 42 from Black Oak. Awesome light. The problem is it only bolts to the two bolts that hold down the plastic top.

Interesting, mine doesn't have any bolts that hold down the plastic top, mine uses the slots in the visor to hold the top on. That was what the instructions said when I put it on, I am presuming it must use the bolts that hold the visor on?

I have the Polaris top. A 2018 Deluxe

There should be 2 Torx screws on top. Or if yours are anything like mine, no matter how much Loctite I put on them they still vibrate out.


But the 2 bolts the light bars attach to are under the roof in a slot in the visor.


I went a step further since I have a framed windshield and added 2 bolts between the brackets and my windshield.

I used a little longer bolt and added a nylon nut.

light bar

Mounted mine on the front bumper, no problems with glare

I mounted 2 lights on the front bumper and they work awesome for a couple cheapos from Amazon !
Ni-lite brand.

Nilight is also a great LED light, cheap, sturdy, bright enough for its price, easy to install.

I mounted a curved 42" to the roof. Very solid and no movement or vibration. The 35,000 lumens really lights up the terrain.

Cheap light, came with harness. I cut out the switch and installed my own to match the others in my dash.

My 2 cents, Ridgid. They are not cheap no question but more light output and better quality than anything on the market.
