I am making a flip up roof lights mounting, and im not taking up any bed space.

Here are the brackets,




I will be making the light bar in a few hours, and by noon I hope it will be done.

Nice, buld, Bro. I really like the set up. I can't use it since I have a roof rack/basket set up. I would worry about a water leak...what did you use to make sure no water can get in the drilled area?? Inquiring minds want to know...lol

I put silacone on the bolts, and a small bead around the mounting plates.



Its nice to know the work I do, is admired by some truck
enthusiasts.


I thinking of making a few and selling them. Do you guys think they would sell?

Cool. I would feel better about adding something to mine. Of course...I can use my roof rack to add some upper lights..but if you remove the roof rack you won't have the lights anymore....lol

I think thats a cool mounting point and the brackets look good. I hate big light bars or roof bars that stick out way far on the sides or are really tall. I don't really have a use for the folding aspect though.
