Expeditions West Tacoma FAQ

[Scott Brady]

The light bar was from Morphic in AZ. They make products for desert race trucks.

I used the ATV winch quick disconnect connection

Mounting the light bar was the most difficult, reinforcing the mount to the roof sheet metal, etc.

...reinforcing the mount to the roof sheet metal, etc.

Thanks for the link - what do you mean by this last part, and what was the solution?

 

[Scott Brady]

The mounts will need to bolt through the roof, which is only mildly reinforced and not where you need it for the light bar. I had to fabricate brackets and bracing to reinforce the light bar mounting brackets. They were hidden by the headliner.

ARB bullbar setup

I looked at the web page showing the ARB bumper install. Did you ever go back and reinforce the frame horns as mentioned in this write-up?

I'm running the same setup, haven't reinforced yet and looking for alternate ways to reinforce w/out welding on the frame.

Thanks!
