Army Of Darkness Raptor

Heres a parts list

Synergy Suspension 5 Light Universal Light Bar

Synergy Suspension Universal Light Bar Adjustable Support Kit buy 2 of these

I can't link the ADD mounts for some reason.
You have to put at least an 8" light in these, otherwise it'll look weird..

The reason I am not using LEDS, is I can fix an HID or Tungsten light. LEDS have to be send back to the manufacturer to be fixed. You usually wait a month to get them back... That sucks.

The way I mounted these isn't for everyone.. They are welded to the truck. I do a lot of work to my truck that isn't for looks or to be pretty. If it's bolted, welded, glued, or taped, zip tied or clamped to my truck, it has a use and a purpose.

I learned my lesson after TRR 2013 to not bolt on light bars, then buck over hackable jumps. You will break shit quick.
So I welded these in place.

I have gotten rid of wind noise, and I like them.
You get more reflection off the hood from LED's than you do these lights, and these put out more than enough light for my desert antics.

Dust isn't as bad with these either.

Got a link for where you picked up the lights? If I don't go with one of the new radius bars this will be the path I'll take. I'm assuming there's prob a deal for picking up multiple lights from the right places?

I ordered the lights from www.raptoraddict.com

Call Kirk. He has the hook up.

I am not 100% sure I like it yet.
It's almost kind of redneck looking. Kirk assures me that it looks good.

So lets vote

The bar closest to the windshield has to be removed... My windshield wipers won't pass under it.... I am an idiot sometimes.

No all the time

Yup, doesn't get much more red neck than this. Nice work Mike.

Keep an eye on those ADD mounts. We had a guy up here running them with a 50" LED mounted to them and the end cap sheared off. Not bashing, just warning. I'd hate to see that lightrack smash your windshield.

But otherwise, looks badass! Nice work dude!

I had the same problem!! I seated 2 washers in there and re-welded it up. I know exactly what you mean

Makes you wonder why ADD even sells them as a product if they can't withstand offroad use. Or at least have a disclaimer that they're for street use. Glad you were able make them work.

Dig the set up!!!

I think mine broke because it had 2 50's on it.

I've got a good source on lights too. Would love to hook you up with some 9" HIDs
