Its probaly been disscused before but i have 3 questions. they have the one that tilt the lights backwards, i need to know how tall that is, roof to bar. and do they just clamp to the rain gutter without drilling? Just an noob question are the rain gutters the same on Blazers and Pickups?



Thanks
 
Well I just sold mine not too long ago, but it just clamped to the rain gutter but im not too sure exactly how tall it was. Maybe 5"-6" ?
 
my girlfriend thinks that the thing would look good on my truck. she said she would buy it for me. I told her ok if it just clamps to the gutters and its not to tall cause i like to keep my truck in the garage. i just got to buy the K.C's

here is the lightbar

That's me. :D Let me know if you need some specific pics and I can run out and shoot some. It isn't the Carr light bar but I believe it is the same type of mounting. I don't know how tall your door is to your garage, and if you have any kind of lift but mine fits in my garage (no lift but I do have 33's) just fine. The door does have to be all the way up though. One year we lost power in the winter and I had to manually open the garage door and didn't open it all the way. Ended up catching it backing in, nocked it off the track, scratched the back of the light housings, and had to get out and wedge the door up because of it laying on the top of the truck. :doah: :eek: Won't make that mistake again.
 
trixblazer,When you get a chance could you messure how tall it is from the roof to the bar? and link some pics to photobucket so i could see tham.

Thanks
 
Not a problem. I will measure it tomorrow. I will also get the pics/links as well.
 
I got some things measured up for you.

7'3" - Ground to top of the tallest light.

3" - Roof to tallest spot on the bar (bar bows alittle under the wieght of the lights)

I measured the doorway of the garage too and I have an 8' door so unless you get a lightbar that folds down, I don't think it will fit in your garage with lights on it.

Here is a link to the my K5 album on my Photobucket account:

Not to much I'm afraid. It was on the truck when I purchased it 7 years ago. The winch is a Ramsey (9500lb??) and I believe that the mount is made by them as well. When I bought the truck I rember reading that ramsey had a hidden winch mount for the blazers. I don't know if they still do though? The mount is attached where the bumper brackets mount to the frame.

I am going to pull the whole thing down here in the near future to open the winch up and clean/lub some stuff. The freespool lever is getting really hard to slide and the winch could use a little maintenance. It needs a new cable as well. I can take some pics of the mount for you when I do take it down, if you would like.

Only thing I don't like of the winch being mounted down there is when I have been stuck in mud, I have to lay down in the mud to plug in the controler. It is up under and behind the bumper. I need to make a plug in for it somewhere else, but have been to lazy.
 
i was looking at those linked pics. i noticed you had a soft top on there. Is that one made by Skyler?

also what color light bar and lights would look good on my truck? pics my blazer on page 1

The soft top is made by STC (Specialty Top Company).

I don't quite understand what you are asking about the color of the bar and lights? The top bar is by Dick Cepek (as far as I know it is no longer made). The mounts are polished and the bar itself is chromed. The square lights are KC (daylighters?) and the round ones are Dick Cepek. The lights on the top bar used to be chrome but they were starting to rust, so I had them powder coated. The front bar is Smittybuilt and the lights on it are Titanium KC daylighters.
