Mounting a 50" led lightbar to a Gen 2 Monty?

[OneTime]

Has anyone mounted a 50" led light bar to the roof of Gen 2 or 2.5? Looking to get one for my son for Christmas but cant find any mounting brackets.

Gutter mounts and a crossbar are how most are mounted unless it's to a roof rack, a quick search will pull up results.

Are Gen 2 wider than a Gen 1? A 50" is too wide for a Gen 1.

50" will fit on a gen 2, but I haven't had any luck finding rain gutter mounts.

Look up billygoats' posts...he had a roof mounted lightbar on gutter mounts on his Gen 2.5.

Garvin makes nice gutter mounts. Because of the slope in the roof, you can probably get away with 5 rise inch near the windshield.

I used the gutter mounts for a custom roof rack install... The 7 inch rise are necessary near the rear because there is more roof above the rain gutter.

You could use a piece of square aluminium tube as a cross bar. Metal supply ships should have a few remnant pieces.

42" LED mounted to Yakima raingutter cross bar

Here is mine.
Used an old cross bar I had laying around and got some wrap around mounts rather then drilling through the bar.
