Drill an 11/16“ hole into the roof, which will be the access point to route the cables into the interior of
the vehicle (when at step number 13). Mark the desired hole location; remove the light bar from the roof
and drill the hole. The installer must lower the headliner to carefully inspect selected location to ensure
that there are no components, wires and or any other vehicle part that could be damaged before drilling.
WARNING:
The roof has support members that span across from the driver’s and passenger side of the
vehicle. NEVER drill into a support member! It will be necessary to relocate cable’s access hole to not
come into contact with support member.

MPORTANT:
Protect the vehicle’s interior headliner from damage that could be caused when drilling the
access hole for the light bar’s power cable. Always allow a minimum distance of 6“ to 8” between the roof
and headliner by lowering the headliner before drilling the access hole.
6.
IMPORTANT:
Always de-burr the access hole by using a round file to ensure there
are no sharp edges. NOTE: The light bar’s power cable has a rubber grommet in
place that will be inserted the access hole after the cable is routed into the vehicle
(when at step number 15). See Fig. 3.
7.
Position the light bar back onto the roof of the vehicle. There are two adjustable
brackets located on the bottom of the light bar. The installer will need to adjust
the location of the two brackets, each having two- (2) rubber pads, to be close
to the edge of the roof. IMPORTANT:
Always make sure that each of the
protective rubber pads are in full contact with the roof. To adjust each bracket,
loosen the four 5/16” bolts, slide the bracket into position, and tighten the bolts
securely. Repeat the same procedure for the bracket on the other end of the
light bar. See Fig. 4.
8.
Open the vehicle’s door and determine the location that the stainless-steel strap
will clamp to the windows ledge. You may need to move the rubber weather-
strip away from the vehicle. Only remove enough weather-strip so that the
area where the stainless-steel strap will be secured to the vehicle is exposed.
Repeat the procedure for other side of vehicle.
9.
Remove the protective film covering the stainless-steel straps. Place one of the stainless-steel straps
into position on the window ledge so the installer can determine which holes in the stainless-steel strap
is best positioned to attach the “L” bracket using the bolts, washers and nuts provided. Insert the tension
adjustment bolt through the strap’s “L” bracket and thread bolt into the light bar’s bracket, hand tighten.
IMPORTANT:
The “L” bracket can be repositioned for proper installation by simply removing the bolt
securing it to the stainless-steel strap. Reposition and secure the “L” bracket in preferred location using
the bolt, lock washer and nut. Repeat the procedure for other side of vehicle.
WARNING:
The two- (2)
stainless-steel straps included with the light bar are universal
and should securely install to the window ledge of most
vehicles. Some vehicles may require a custom designed
strap to properly secure the light bar to the vehicle’s window
ledge. Always make sure that both straps have a full hold on
the vehicles window ledge.
10.
Tighten the two- (2) tension adjustment bolts evenly. While
tightening the bolts make sure the light bar remains in the
desired mounting position on the roof. Torque bolts to 10-
12 ft.-lbs. Failure to properly tighten the tension adjustment
bolts and straps could result in damage to the vehicle and
injury or death to the driver or others. IMPORTANT:
Always inspect to make sure that
both straps have a full hold on the vehicles window ledge and the tension bolts are
torqued correctly. See Fig. 5.
11.
The hooked end of the stainless-steel strap that is engaged to the vehicle’s window
ledge has two holes, which will secure the bracket to the vehicle with the sheet metal
screws provided. Use each of the holes in the bracket as a template mark and drill the required holes into
the window ledge, drill to size 5/32”. Secure the stainless-steel strap to the window ledge with the sheet
metal screws. IMPORTANT: The installer may have to lower headliner and inspect the selected location
to ensure that there are no components, wires and or any other vehicle part that could be damaged by
drilling. See Fig. 5.
