windshield lightbar

[That84fordranger]

I'm trying to get a lightbar for the windshield and the windshield is I think L:59 x w:28 H:6 need help finding one for off-roading and the ones I saw that big is 2k+

Every single person I know who has installed windshield light bars ends up absolutely hating them, mainly because they blind the driver with the glare off of the hood.
You might consider a bumper-mounted light bar if you are looking for actual useable light.

I found a few 58in light bars on Ebay. Close enough to work?

 

[That84fordranger]

yes

I don't have a glare problem with mine. Mounting position may play a factor in that. More info in my build thread. I'll try to link to it later when I have a better cell signal.

Dark hoods cut down on glare too...

but not on wind noise. those things are horrible for wind noise and drop gas mileage about 2 mpg.

i would do the bumper mount too. and thats what we actually did after getting tired of wind noise

Wind noise is dependent on model of light bar and installation. I get no wind perceptible noise with mine. I must admit it must have a negative effect on aerodynamics. But my aerodynamics efficiency went down the drain years ago.
