Great Deal on 20" Seward Offroad light bar.

[SVT Guy]

what is the plan now? is it closer to a 21"? I was about to order.

To actually mount would require the bracket to be 22 inches to 22 1/4 inches from ear to ear so the bracket provided is to small I am talking to elevated to get an answer now..

So first impressions don't last... The bracket sent for the light does not fit the bracket. The light itself I can not mount without a bracket, they said well the brackets free so keep it even though it don't fit... So I am sadly returning the product bracket and all for a refund. So since they did not do there job and verify things fit properly for my trouble I get to pay to return it for a refund and wait to get a refund when there ready.. SO this is a DO NOT BUY FROM EVENT.... Thanks Elevated for doing no homework and leaving the customer to pay for it...

I ordered a 20" from another vendor with a similar mounting problem. I ordered the rigid cradle hoping it would fit and it was a bit to narrow. The problem was fixed by bending the tabs at the end out slightly and using a dremel to open up the wholes where the light mount to. I hope that makes sense.

Something you can try if you don't want to go to the trouble of sending it back.

I would expect they'd test it before they send it out as a package. I bought the light and cradle from 2 separate vendors.

They did not test this or would have known. This is really not compatible the light bar is 22 inches to 22 1/4 inches wide the rigid bar is for a 20 inch and is only 20 1/2 wide so its not a little bending its a lot. I am going to possibly look to day to see if I have some flat stock 1/4 and make a bracket to fit, otherwise I am going to ship it back..

I think part of the overall problem is a lack of industry standard architecture that would help. The Rigid light is 20 inches overall the Seward is 22 inches overall. So no standard of measurement like the actual Light face is 20 inches and the total overall size would be 21 for everybody... That's a standard and unfortunately this industry does not have one..

 

[SVT Guy]

so how was the light itself? I don't mind making a bracket. would it fit the hole on the stock bumper?

 

[Icecobra]

No its to big

Bummer. U might be able to cut the bracket in half and use two sides. Trim as needed so instead of mounting one big bracket, mount the two smaller/half brackets. Just a thought

Had not thought of doing it this way.. It was suppose to fit so I never thought outside the box to try anything else... It will not fit in the lower opening as it was intended its to wide for that spot. So I would have to mount it other and was thinking make my own bracket and run it between the two Raptor claws.. But its size makes it a difficult fit.. I think im better off sending it back and get a refund...
