Hi, my name is greg my question is will it be stupid to mount off road lights on my roof on my bar that hold the ski rack?

 

welcome to the sight, not a stupid question at all, it is very effective yo mount lights up there... you will have to make mounts though, or at least somehow modify your rack to hold a light...

 

I saw a guy with a Thule roof rack once that drilled holes through the load bars and mounted lights on it, he even fished the wires down through the bar and pulled them out another hole in the back of the load bar. It looked good but the first time he loaded his rack down it bent the front bar down. Im not sure if this would be the way to go unless you dont use the rack for anything heavy. I guess you could get some accessory attachment brackets and fab up something, Im not sure!

 

The method that looked easiest and the one I went with you can find as post #5 on this thread:

Depends on what you're trying to do, but no, it's not stupid. I have 6 lights mounted to my roof rack...

 

The only clarification I would have :

Is your ski rack mounted to a factory (aluminum) rack or a Thule / Yakima load bar?

 

the ski rack is mounted to my roof
