I need to find some cheap and easy mounts for my Black Widow Roof Rack. I have tried the conduit clamps from lowe's and they didn't stay tight. $25 is the max price I want to spend on these. Also they need to be easy enough to move around (preferably ones that clamp and tighten) the roof rack so I can point them in whatever direction I please! Thanks to all! |

on the conduit clamps did you use lock washers and lock nuts?? those will help keep it tight, I dont know what else you could do besides weld tabs on the roof rack |

Sounds like the Multi-mount is the perfect solution for you!! What is the diameter of the tubing on the rack???? I'll figure out the mounting hardware for that application. You can point the lights wherever you want them with the mounts. http://www.trailrashdesigns.com |

I'm definitely interested in these, as I've been looking for a good tube mount solution for offroad driving lights, hi lift, and ax shovel for my tube roof rack. So far, I was going to go with these guys for the hi lift/shovel/axe, bolting them to the tubes: http://www.fdcrescue.com/Quickfist_Main.htm |

I use two each for my jack, axe and shovel on my roof rack, and then one for my mag lite inside. The trailrash design ones are no doubt stronger though. |

or could go to Lowes etc , buy some eye bolts, looks like a bolt with a circle at the end. can get them in different sizes and lenghths, very inexpensive and strong, have my rear mounted lights on with those . Have to drill through the rack , but thats why you build (drill holes etc  ) a Jeep,not just mount stuff on it!!!

I'll get those this week for you!!! |

I hope you don't have to worry about easy removal by someone "other than the owner" as well, then. |

i also have a roof rack and wanted to put some lights on it but think that i have enough lights with the new lights that i put on the other day. but if they add more light like to the side and futher forward then that would be great. does anyone have a pic of what these brackets look like? |

Speaking of extra lights, sorry to go a tiny bit off topic, does anyone know where to find the front windshield mounts for lights on a KJ? Like these for a TJ? http://www.quadratec.com/Assets/Images/ ... 166-lg.jpg |

Hmmm... did he use heavy duty 2 sided tape?  I don't see any screws or bolts either.  Are there any front shots showing the whole front?

so with you saying that then he must have used 2 sided tape and that doo doo wont hold a darn thing. it also looks like that he put them in the middle of the pillar and the windshield. am i seeing thatw rong or is that what you guys see also? and judging for the close-up i dont see any holes, so thats telling me that its 2 sided tape....poopy |

Yeah, it wouldn't hold while bumping around off road for sure. How else could he do it? |

no i dont think he used tape either, but he was very careful not to say and I believe those are the only pics b/c he didnt want anyone to copy him
