Rago fabrication led bar wiring on a 5th generation 2016 toyota 4runner.
Installing a led bar on roof rack.
I have installed the 50 5d led windshield bar from freedom led along with the steel brackets from rago fabrication.
My question is though how do i route the wires off of a gobi roof rack to run the led bar in the front of the rack.
When having the roof rack installed we added a front 3 slat cross member so that we could mount a light bar it was a 65 addition.
The best way to do this is to drill a new hole in your roof near your roof mount brackets and run the wiring down directly into the cab of the truck.
Led bar roof rack wire routing so i ve researched a lot of users threads on wiring led bars and have found some good info.
Tools and electrical devices to use.
This is the best method because it is the shortest distance for the wire to travel and it has the least chance of getting smashed in your door jamb.
Some roof rack manufacturers may have optional light bar mounting brackets like this rola titan roof tray which makes installation as simple as spinning a few spanners.
As with any diy project always measure twice and cut once.
Where bolt on roof rack mounts are not an option a little ingenuity and a few extra tools may be required.
We choose the nilight 52 300w spot and flood combination led light bar because it has both spot and flood lenses in one bar was affordable and had decent reviews on amazon.
Your budget will determine when the project will.
I absolutely love it both products are.
