50" LED Windshield mount coming soon from Sierra Expeditions

[flyingwil]

We have been busy over the past few months here at the shop and just in time for Tax Season we will have a few brand new products available for you guys to check out.

Our first new product is our own mounting and wiring system for a 50" Rigid Light Bar above the windshield of any body style Tacoma 05-13 (40" Mounts and kits also coming soon. After a lot of testing time and many conversations with our designer we feel like we have found the most secure way to do so.

These mounts are designed specifically for Rigid industries E Series or SR Series Light bars but will fit other bars with similar mounting configurations. The brackets mount to the roof via 4 holes that need to be drilled in the rain channel and are secured under the headliner by grade 8 nylock nuts. We chose to not utilize the OEM holes in order to create a mounting system that was universal among all cab styles, shorter for increased strength and lower in order to keep hood glare to a minimum. In addition on Double Cab models our brackets sill allow the mounting of a Frontrunner or BajaRack Roof Rack.

Pricing is still pending However these will be sold in a few different configurations:

Option 1- Brackets only

Option 2- Brackets and Wiring kit

Option 3- Complete kit w/ Choice of 50" Rigid bar, Wiring kit and brackets.

Wiring kit will include:
Waterproof plug and roof seal
Relay
Custom Contura Switch and Cover

Brackets will come standard Powdercoated black and will be available in custom colors for an additional fee.

If you guys have any questions, want more pictures or have any suggestions please shoot us an e-mail at Sales"AT"Sierraexpeditions"DOT"com

I would like to see a night shot from within the cab. Possibility of dash and hood glare seem strong with that mounting location. Looks really good but woudl worry abotu the glare issues.

We'll see what we can do for ya on this. I will try and get some for you guys in the next few days. We currently have a 50" amber bar up there, would like to do some more testing with a white light bar as well. From our initial tests we did not see a need to wrap the center section of the hood in matte black as others have done in the past however if the need arises we will be including a template and material with the kit for the user to wrap their own hood.

I posted that info in the original post, quoted below:

We will be supplying a template, and hole punch for the channel strips with the brackets. Let us know if you have any other questions.

That looks pretty good. I would like to see a closer look at the bracket.

What is that big honkin' thing on your dash? A GPS?

Light bars are an investment and have a high potential for theft. What are you guys doing in regard to anti-theft hardware?

We'll have more pics of the mounts once they are out of prototype... That thing on the dash is a GPS

Basically this is factored into the design. The Mounting Bracket is basically the lock, in order to remove the bar you'd have to remove the brackets; meaning you'd have to unbolt it and need access to the interior. In addition, you can add locking nuts if your still concerned about it.

Any updates on this?

Any updates on this?

I second this! Also, are taco's the only application, or will there be a possibility for other platforms as well?
