ok i have a 1st gen 4 runner. I am wanting to put 4 daylighters up on my cab but am not satisfied with any way i have thoguht of to mount them. I am considering bendign up my own lightbar but really have no clue how i would attach it to the roof. I am hesitant to put any holes into my roof. unless i know it will work and not have problems. ANyone have any ides for a good 1st gen lightbar? and how i can mount it up there. My fab skills are good and i cna bend wweld cut whatever but its the ides department i am lacking.

Next i have questiosn about the actual daylighters to mount there. I was considering kc daylighters that are 100wat quartz halogen bulbs but came across these summit racing brand daylighters

as for the specs they all seem to be the exactly the same and i might even be able to replace bulbs with with kc ones if they ever die. As for parts, them come with a dual lighted rocker switch and wiring harness but no relays. I am liking these lights because they seem decent i have a 20 dallor cupons and they woudl cost half as much as kc's. Anyone got some opinions? Also do i need to run a realy for each light? and what relays should i use if i was to get these?

 

help...anyone...

 

go with a gutter mount as in where it mounts to the gutters above the door, you will have to drill and put in either rivets or self tapping screws , since its just holding lights. i personally dont like those daylighters, im gonna get the hella driving lights and put those on my rack, when i get it.

 

fab up one that fits into your factory roof rack

 

haha ist gen doesnt have a factory roof rack.

 

if your insistant upon fabing your own light bar then the drip rail attachment would be a good solution. I had a steel horse light bar on my 86 yota pickup and it worked and looked great (about $80 I believe) it attached to the drip rail, you could also look that up and get some ideas as to how they attached theres. As for the lights I am no guru but I think you would only need 1 relay for the set of four lights, someone correct me if I am wrong. You can get a relay just about anywhere.

 

ya i a m pprettu sure that i need at least 2 relays. haha as for the lights they may have to wait because i found an good deal on a 81 pickup that i cnat resist buying and it will be suckign all of my spare time and cash for the next year

 

Here's a bomb-a** lightbar that I plan on putting on my 94 p/u. I didn't want to put in a rollbar because I come from a contruction trade background and anything that would take away from the space in my bed is out of the question.

I have a stealth light bar, same as this one, nice and clean.. sunroof will still open as well!

 

I have the KC gutter mount bar (I found it in my friends garage this summer) with 6 lights. couldnt find the clips for the gutter so i fabricated some from a set of yakima gutter clips from a roof rack, worked perfectly. next is finding a flush mount female to female plug of some sort to put in the fiberglass topper so i can easily unplug and remove the bar or the top, I run a black can-back top in the summer.

 

4Pin trailer harnes. I have one hooked up to mine so when I want to remore the top. Works great.

 

Im looking for something more industrial thats flush and has a cap to cover it when i remove the light bar. There are some applications on this site http://www.deutschipd.com/Products/products.htm that seem to be heading the direction I want.

 

This is the light bar I have for my 1st gen
