VERY IMPORTANT TIP: ONCE YOU INSTALL YOUR LED BAR PLEASE PUT EPOXY ON THE SCREWS HOLDING THE LED BAR TO PREVENT SOMEONE FROM STEALING IT BY SIMPLY UNSCREWING IT

Great vid thanks. Just a suggestion if you care...when you run the wire through the firewall, have enough excess to hang a drip loop as the wire comes out into the engine bay. That way gravity does not let water run through your engine wall. Please disregard if missed you doing this. Cheers!

Instead of a unibit you could’ve just piloted the hole with a smaller drill bit then follow with the 13/32 to finish. Reduces risk over over boring the hole

For your first time, you have explained it perfectly. I was looking for how to wire and hide the cable running from the top. Did not think running it through there. Very helpful... GOD BLESS

Bro, this is by far one of the BEST video for this project. You simplified everything perfectly. Thank you.

Another sealant well worth looking into is 3M 5200. It's a permanent seal for marine applications.

Great job. gave me a lot of confidence seeing the detailed steps. Pretty much what I had in my minds eye.... Just hate to drill into my truck. lol.

Excellent video. Installation done very neatly and well demonstrated. Thank you

Best installation video on KZfaq. I never knew about cert nuts, and was wondering how I was going to thread the bolts in. I'm going to mount mine a little bit higher up the door jam and am probably going to run it through where the roof rack is mounted. The principle is still the same though. I'll be using those cert nuts for sure. Thanks for the video!

Great video, thanks.

I can’t wait til I can buy a 4Runner!

You did an amazing job fella good work!!!

Nice video. Thank you for sharing

Right on bud, thanks for making the video. I've been pulling my hair all morning. I have it now. Thanks again.

I am sure, I am not the only one who binge watch all your videos...great stuff and thank you

Great video and very entertaining. Thanks for sharing

Wonderful video. Great job

You did the heat-shrink backwards: You should've started from the engine compartment & moved upwards, water doesn't flow uphill -unless you're planning on driving into a lake! Otherwise, good video -Thanx! };-]

I like the video because this is my first time doing a light bar on my new truck. At least it gives my step by step of doing the holes for the bracket. The wiring part I don’t need to watch because my light bar doesn’t have a switch to turn it on all it has is a remote control.

13:07 I'd recommend getting insulated style connectors. Also using the right style helps too. Those fork connectors are not meant to install in those female connectors. Fork terminals are used on screw down terminal block. Time for some high quality crimpers too. www.delcity.net/ is a good source for wiring supplies

If I may. Most vehicles are floating grounds. So the neutral could be attached to any metal surface close by the light. Maybe even under the screw used to mount the light. This would allow you to only run one wire for the power. Just a thought. Otherwise your install looked great.

shrink tubing FTW!

Great install!!

This helped a lot thanks

Great video!

very helpful. You have strong, healthy looking hands!

Nice install.

Wow you make this seem effortless. I will most definitely put on some LED light bars on my new car. By the way great questions from the fellow viewers. Some of the things I wasn't sure of such as would it be safe to run it through a car wash, etc. Also to those haters, please don't hate that someone does things better than you and yes there are plenty of people likes curvy lights than straight ones. So who cares. Take your uneducated comment somewhere else.....!

Great video

An observation. You used the wrong male crimp on connector at the light bar. The one you used is to connector a wire to a screw. You should have used the spade connector.

Great video. Better then Cali Raised intall video!

Cracking vlog.....cool installation.

I like how you said make sure you hook up the wires ON THE INSIDE OF THE Bracket as you're soldering the wire together on the outside of the brackets. Guess you had to pull the wires out and re run them lmao

excellent video.....enough said....

Looks great! .... Did you up grade your head and fog lights to LED or HID? I want to upgrade mines any suggestions?

nice video bro thanks

Good vid mate

Dang nice, no one can accuse you ever, of stepping off half cocked. That's enough flame to light up half of Escalon.

Does it fit on my honda ridgeline 07 ?? Please let me know thank you!

Nice job man

Do you need to connect the new light and old front light ? Its use when I'm driving.

Would this fit a 2018 crosstrek?

Hello, i am looking at putting a light bar on a 93 chevy suburban. Eather in the door jam like in the video or on a roof rack on the front. Do you get a nasty glare if you have it in the door jam ? Anything i should know before installing? Its a off road SUV so looking pretty is not a concern

Use plumbing solder paste ( Lead-Free Paste Flux )before soldering wire.

I'd like to mount something like this to my 08 highlander I do a lot of back road camping with a travel trailer and would like to light up my view...

Good video and nice light bar... (strong healty hands) hahaha

How is the light coming into the cabin? Is it harsh? Seems like there has to be some sort of bleed into there

Great video bro. I was totaly over thinking it. A couple things I am going to do different but I saved your vid. My only question, is the kit for a 4 Runner? I have a Colorado ZR2

Do they make brackets to mount a roof light on a 95 Subaru Impreza w/o a roof rack??

Holy jury-rigged batman... lol. spades in a tongue connector.... Great video... not how I would do or pay anyone to do the electrical though. Would have a more solid installation with solder and shrink tube... kept on watching... yay.. thank you!!!

Is the LED panel loud while driving?

That was well done. Plenty of good information. However, the connectors used at the light bar end were incorrect. You had female spade connectors which should be used with male spade connectors. (Forget the obvious jokes!) Instead, you installed connectors that are for use with screws on things such as power supplies and such. Also, it would have been better if you had admitted that you made a mistake when you wired everything on the outside of the bracket then had to do it all over again to show the harness installed correctly. I nice opportunity for some tongue in cheek humor was missed. LOL The only real problem is that those light bars are made from a very rare element. It's called "Unobtainium"! At several thousand buckazoids those are just not affordable to many of us. So, once again, the boat of dreams must be dashed upon the rocks of reality. Even with the financial wall of impedance getting in the way, those of us who must use equipment that is not as expensive can make good use of this video. All things considered, you did well.

This freaking video is great 👍 👌

Hi Ronin, can you send the led bar link? because I can't find it and I would like to buy exactly the one you show in the video. Thank you

Did you wire that outside the bracket? 🤔

do you have links for the LED bar and the brackets? I'd like to put those on me new 4Runner. Thanks

Does this light bar Whistle at high speeds?

Do the brackets work with all vechiles?

Would this fit a 2001 Chevy S10 pick up ZR2 package Please comment back thank you very much and how expensive was this thank you for this video

Hi, thanks for the video, very interesting. One dumb question. When you connect lights through the car battery directly, the switch is always on, even when u turn off the engine. Does this have major effect in the battery usage? Thanks

How did you fix the wind noise from the door jam

The other thing you could of done when soldering your wires is cut one lead an inch or 2 longer so the two soldered connections are offset and don't make such a big bulge. I solder the wires on my motorcycle electrical extras, but my aircraft maintenance friends tell me soldered connections are not allowed on airplanes due to vibration induced fatigue. They only use crimped connections. Great video, just got a 2016 trail premium and an looking for ideas for "things." Have you done any suspension work yet?

Ja best video , on KZfaq

Use longer leads on the equipment side: often you need more than you have: disassembling the equipment to add longer leads is not always feasible.

you aren't got to do all that just connect them to your fog lights and change out the fuse and get a bigger one that's what i did and it looks and lights up awesome.

Would it not look neater using one power wire(live) up the edge of the screen and earthing the black wire to the frame of the light

I seen you pushed the graughment out of the way would that have contact from wire to metal. I did not see insulation

I have the same harness and want to understand how to connect that harness to my high beam?

How did you keep your light from rotating down towards the hood? I am having a hell of a time keeping my light stationary. Thanks.

This is a late comment but..... Do you guys have any suggestions for a rackbar mount? I have the ovalar style Thule bars I'm trying to mount a lightbar to

Were those nutserts M6? im trying to find out what size bit I need and this was super helpful!

Very nice looking light bar. Great installation. Only question, does this particular light bar whistle?

Where do u buy the bracket?.thanks

I already have ditch lights on my 4th gen 4runner but stumbled on your video series and plan on getting the hidden bumper light as well as a roof rack light bar and some scene lights on the sides and back. At what point would you consider upgrading the battery/wiring? Excellent video, thank you very much for the detailed explanation!

Where did you get the rivets?

i have a chevy silverado and it makes alot of noice and i took it to a shop and they made wholes is that normal ?

What are these brackets called? Can I order them in the uk? Please post the link if you can.

What do you do about wind noise

Does it whistle while driving?

Reccomend shrink tube with glue so you get a good water seal. pay extra for your shrink.. the cheap stuff is thin and doesn't come with glue on the inside.

Where do you buy the led bar

Still not sure why you'd put an offroad only light bar on a 4runner.....lol.... maybe it's so the jeep has light when it comes to pull you out....... I'm just having fun with you. Great video, plenty of useful info, and sweet light bat.... that heat sink is gigantic

How do you keep the braket in the door

Nice video and Good job, it was very interesting. Thank you ////////////////////

Hey! So I just finished wiring mine but my kit came with the positive and ground both connecting to the positive and negative ends of the battery instead of grounding it. But the led bulb in the switch stays on even when the car is off and I can turn the bar on when it is off too. Is this because I did not ground the negative? And is it draining my battery with the switch bulb always on?

Wow, just Wow ..... nice, really Cool ;-)

why cut the wire so short off the light bar? when you could had left it long and made the quick disconnect under the hood.

If you did not cut the wire on the lightbar socis the lightbar so short you would have more wire to work with never ever cut wire off a light bar before you before you run all of your wires please comment back if you feel the same he has very little wire to work with on that light bar

I just had one installed using the same brackets. Mine is leaking like crazy around the weather stripping and there is wind noise. This doesn’t seem right. Any suggestions??

Does this mount work for a ford raptor?

So I go on the rago fab website to order same setup for my 2018 4runner. But only options for curves bars are 42inch or 54inch ? U say that ones 50inch ? Would like to know so I can place order.

Wicked man ..😁

Question: would I be able to put together the same kind of wireing lay out/harness,with relay,fuse, switch and light bar but also be able to pigy back three more smaller led lights on to the same set up?

Can these door brackets work with a straight normal lighbar (not curved light bar) ?

hi, is it possible to mount the light bar w/o drilling if ur just mounting it temporarily and not permanently? Like for example, just mounting when ur going out to a dark trail....

Hello, everything was well done by the time you cut the electrical cable that leads from the LED lights to the required places. You could have left the wiring in its original condition.

I would love to have this in Virginia, The only problem is, it is ILLEGAL unless there is a cover over it. Because Virginia considers for off-road use.

Total smua habis brp bro?

I don't see why you couldn't just run the ground to the mount (chassis ground) and run the hot to the light?
