Led light bar

[dusty1530]

I am planning to put a 42 inch light bar on top of my Jeep Commander. Here is the question if I put a 50 inch light bar on top I need to mount it on top of the roof and make holes (OUCH) in the roof . What is the best way to seal the holes so it wont leak ? or would it be better to mount a 42 inch light bar with cubes on the outside edge with a 45 deg angel on top of the roof rack ? the cost is about the same .
Oh by the way the light bars now have a 5 watt led in them instead of a 3 watt led .

Go with the roof rack. There is no good way to seal holes in the roof of a car that look good. JMHO

when I needed to mount a ligh tbar on my trucks roof I went to my local tire repair shop and picked up a 1/2 dozen tire valve stem bottoms ( the flat round part) and by putting the bolts through them they made a tight seal when bolts were tightened down.

Cool idea I've not seen that done before. I Was wondering what you did to fasten on the inside. does your truck have a headliner or was it like mine and just the metal roof exposed?

52" that's one big light bar, I would have fixed it on a bar across the roof, fixed to the gutter rails, no drilling needed then. https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=r...Q_AUoAQ#tbm=isch&q=led+roof+bar+lights&imgdii=_

The top rack is too short to mount the 52 inch light bar to the mounts that I am going to get are water proof mounts I don't have a pic of them but later when I have them on I will .
