I’m mounting a DD 50" light bar to the front of the gfc camper.
The lights have an offset, where the rear screw is 3/8 inset.
I have no real manufactoring skills, so I’m making adjustments by gluing, grinding and cutting pieces of aluminum to the gfc light mount.
Still need to grind a bit, polish, glue to the gfc mount and then adjust and drill hole.
Got the light bar installed and configured to my uplifter switch.
Now I just need to wait until dark, orient above my headlights and then mark and drill for the rear hole.
Bringing this back from the dead.
Is that a v1 or v2 platform camper?
I’m looking for a solution to mount a light bar to the front of my v2 platform camper
Looks to be a V2 platform camper as there are no external struts
Good catch, I’m a little surprised this isn’t a more common way to mount a light bar to the front of a v2.
I’m thinking this is a better option than permanently modifying my bumper.
I think a lot of people mount them to their roof rack
In my experience the light is much better for driving if it is low on the vehicle, so your bumper may still be your best bet.
My GFC is a v2.
I ended up ditching the lightbar, too much noise and was only ok bright for two BD LP6 lights.
I mounted the bar using the lp6 mounts and then glued aluminum to them and ground them down.
Same.
Can you share a side profile of your cab roof / GFC? I’ve been trying to figure out how to put a wind foil (trying to improve MPG/noise a little) + light bar up top. Seems like mounting the light bar to the GFC and then using a separate roof rack/foil on the cab is the way to go. It looks like you have a similar setup maybe and I’m curious if the roof rack blocks the performance of your lights at all?
