Tailgate light bars

lorenambrose · Nov 7, 2009

Where can I get a LED Light Bar for the back of my 2003 Ranger Edge 4x2? All the ones I have seen cover up the hole for cranking the spare tire. Also one that actually mounts to the truck not just sticks on with tape. I have a line-x and nothing really sticks to it.

Well a little alcohol and some adhesion promoter an they are on to stay. I like the way they look. One of the best aftermarket mods I ever did.

lorenambrose, I noticed that your concern about the light bar blocking the spare tire crank slot wasn't addressed.

I too am wondering about that. Maybe grind out a hole in the light bar, avoiding the actual LED light bulbs?

Anyone?

Could mount directly to the tailgate instead of under it to avoid blocking the hole. Could just cover the hole and have to reach from under the truck to lower the spare. Pretty much up to the owner and what they'd be willing to put up with.

Don't recommend cutting hole in lightbar. LED's usually run on a circuit board and you'd end up cutting it to cut the hole.

3RD option. You can buy two short length lightbars and mount one on each side of the hole for the spare tire. Wire each into their perspective tail light.

Due to the storm this week I have not been able to address it but I do think a 1" sanding drum will put a neat cutout in the plastic and not interfere with the light section of the assembly.
