got a 42" light bar, the hole where you mount the bracket to (center hole) is broken out, pot metal junk. I got it free , any way to fix this light bar? does anymone make any mounting caps or such?

 

[SCOTTDMAX]

Drill out and tap for a Heli-Coil or TimeSert thread repair unit would be what I'd try.

 

[MUD_DYNASTY]

thanks, yep, may try that. bout a 1/4 of what little mount spot is broken off, not sure what brand it is, no decal, but all look alike that ive seen.

 

[SwerveOffRoad]

I have had this happen a few times when we were selling the low end light bars. What we did was drill it all the way through and JB weld a nut on the inside. A heli coil might work too. People like to crank these down when they don't have to be that tight.

Thanks swerveoffroad!

If it was Rigid they would warranty it.

if it was rigid he wouldn't have got it fo free

 

[SwerveOffRoad]

BTW, all of my lights carry a full warranty

 

[Badcat]

:wink:

Yeah for what a rigid cost they should come with more than a warranty. If you know what I mean.

 

[MUD_DYNASTY]

yep, was given to me free, was warrantied but never called back, so he said here ya go

That's why I went with rigid.If you got a problem they take care of it or replace it.Then some china clone.that takes a year to get warranty on.Plus my 40 rigid new was around $500.Not much more anways

You can say what you want about these cheaper LED bars. I have a 30" rigid on my maverick and these cheap lights can not compare on the light output and the pattern. I have a 20" Cree knock off on my truck and it's not much brighter than my headlights.

 

[Badcat]

Well you got a hell of a deal if you got it for $500. Is it a single row?

 

[rubicon20032003]

Ya its a single .needed it for my turnkey mount

 

[Megadesertdiesel]

Good deals are to be found on rigid lights. I waited for a year to find s sweet deal. I bought all three of my lights for $800 cash. Yes they were new.

 

[Badcat]

One main question. Will Rigid warranty it if you damage it in a roll over?

 

[SwerveOffRoad]

nope

 

[rubicon20032003]

They exchanged one I had killed on a rollover on my renegade .It was a demo thou.But I was ok with that.Better then being out a lot of coin.Rigids customer service is second to none

 

[Badcat]

Kind of what I thought. Makes the un-named ones a little more appealing to me anyways.

 

[rubicon20032003]

Putting one of those china lights on.Is like if you can afford a Z06 you run recaps on it
