Light Bar Mounts. Coming soon?

@gwiz thank you for tagging @jedgar. Baja light bar is almost similar to KC’s

I would rather have the pro like @jedgar fabricate this bracket, I am good with my hands with DIY’s but fabrication is not something that I am good at. I’ll be spending to much time and parts to perfect the design, but it will not get closer to a laser cut design on a solidworks

Totally get it. I’ve gone both directions personally. I’ve got Josh’s drip rails and magspots, and they are super nice and way better than what I could make. Then I have some ladder mounts I made myself. They are ugly but work great.

Do you happen to have the light already? You might be able to mount those brackets in the picture directly the the GFC. Just thinking in terms of getting it usable now, while GFC or a 3rd party makes a bitchin’ mount to be proud of.

@gwiz No, Baja lights are 3 months minimum lead time, plus this is going to be my last upgrade together with GFC RTT V2 and Kinsmenhardware 270 degree awning. I am not in a rush this time. My V2 will be picked up from GFC headquarter end of November, Kinsmenhardware mount for V2 GFC RTT is still under development, and Matthew’s lead time is also minimum of 3 months. so light bar bracket has like 6 months allowance to be fabricated. hahaha

Hopefully @jedgar can help us with this bracket.

For now, I am happy with my rig. I’ll be putting more trips on this rather than stressing out with this crazy lead times.

This is my rig, it has its own IG account. lol

Your 4Runner looks sick. I saw it in your avatar but couldn’t tell your RTT was a V1 currently.

Thank you Sir! it is a lot of work. :wink: Yes, my current GFC RTT is V1. I was begging GFC to have an Army Green Fabric color, but I miserably failed. hahaha

Now, I am begging Matthew of Kinsmenhardware to either have Army Green or Tangerine fabric color for his awning because he only has charcoal grey, but I am not putting my hopes high on this one too.

Hey guys. Thanks for the tag @gwiz and @phey_05 I have stepped back from most parts and ended up actually selling my camper, so unfortunately I don’t really have the ability to work up something to try. The one posted above that mounts below looks pretty awesome and would be hard to beat that design. How much did they want for it? With the laser cutting and bending required I’d say anything under $200 seems fair.

Hello Folks,
It is my understanding that GFC is planning on releasing a V2 version of the LP6 Light mounts (at least that is what they have shared with me). The delay has been due to the priority release of other accessories supporting the Superlite tent.
It is my hope that GFC releases the V2 version soon. Since I have paid for 4 brackets and I have 4 Baja Design LP6 lights waiting for them.
Cheers

Hi @jedgar thanks for the reply and it is very unfortunate that you wont be able to help us with the bracket, but completely understand.

Sad to say that the shop that made the bracket on that picture wanted a payment for the solidworks design, tooling, cutting and bending, which i’m sure you know how it can cost. I myself did a prototype project, its an engine bay tray (see below) the design part was done by me and solidworks by my friend. it cost me $400 for the cutting and bending along, but the pricing is totally different for production pieces.

If you have some basic CAD skills (even vector drawing) you can have SendCutSend cut and bend for you. They have great pricing for low quantities. I have used them for prototypes a bunch. May be worth checking out. Let me know if I can help!

@jedgar indeed, I recently discovered them like literally 2 days ago from FB advertisement. problem though is that I don’t have basic CAD skills, lol
And SendCutSend doesnt accept STEP file. I only have a STEP file for this tray that I would like to try SendCutSend to cut and bend for me. I might have to contact my friend so get that raw files for the tray and might aswell ask if he can help with the light bracket.

Do any of you know if there is any of these available for the v1 camper anymore? Can’t see them for sale on the website??

I have 2 sets of the LP6 mounts that will also work for a lightbar.

I’m not using them. Happy to sell them to you if you’re interested.

Hey guys, I’m currently working all the bugs out of a Bracket system to mount a light bar and or roof rack extrusion too the V2 RTT. My goal is to have one bracket that does everything to keep the costs low. I’m working through some wind noise and tolerance issues at the moment but hope to have them all figured out soon.

Looks like these are available now:

The LP9’s are 8.8” height and LP6 are 7.2”. So you’d need at least 0.8” more clearance

The photos on the website show the LP9s mounted on my camper (Crewmax Tundra). The LP6 fit within the lines of the RTT. The brackets can be inverted to either have the lights centered on the RTT or below the centerline (closer to the truck).

The 4 holes are Amps pattern (Ram mounts and other accessories). This could allow for custom attachments for other lights, or for any other creative uses. If you would like us to produce mounts for a specific light, please email support@gfcengineering.com. If we have enough interest we will support additional lights.

Keep in mind the 90deg bracket is also a good choice for mounting lights, antennas etc to your camper!

Just mounted a Nilight 52” light bar to the front of my camper. Simple L bracket and T nuts. If anyone is looking for an easy way to mount a light bar to the camper… I originally had it mounted above my windshield but there was too much of a glare on the hood. Haven’t tested it at night yet, but hopefully this is a better solution.

You’ll see a huge difference with it mounted behind the windshield!

Any updates on your progress with your bracket? Currently looking for some solutions. My tent lands in December!
