How To Put On A 52 Inch LED LIGHT BAR On A 1990 V1500 Suburban?
- Thread starter blackandgold51

We run lots of lights up here, lots of dark lonely roads and big moose. My daily driver has 3 8.7" Vision X light cannons and a rigid 30" bar
My 98 dodge has a 52" bar on the headache rack , led headlights , and four rigid dually D2's in the bumpers
A lot of us also run flushmount. D2's in the rear bumpers for reverse lights .
So yeah , not just wheeling rigs need auxillary lighting .

I think we scared off the original poster
Not the first time the folks here have rough-handled one of his questions.
Also, I've never met a truck with too much light. Just people who abuse lights that could have been useful under different circumstances.
you're the 1%
the kids out here use them down fully lit streets on the way to the mall with the diesel stacks, tow mirrors flipped out and 35 series stretched rubber wrapped around 24" fuel rims.
To be fair, they come across as daft. I've tried to give the benefit of the doubt, thinking maybe the OP isn't entirely comfortable with English (maybe Creole is his native tongue.) Or maybe he's a youngun and he txts natively. Or maybe he's a troll. Hard to say.
This one just stumped me though.

True enough. Confusing is the description I would use. We've answered a number of his questions in the past, but his replies don't correspond to what people say.
I can never decide whether he's trolling or not.
If he's not trolling, a bunch more detail (with pictures) would go a looooooong way toward figuring out what he wants.

Well I indeed did answer his question with actual pictures. hopefully he saw them.
I think he's one of those "Post and run" types....You know ask a question with little to no info, logs out, logs back in a week later, doesn't read the responses, asks a new question...........

The question is real. I actually picked up the led light bar off of amazon for 60 something dollars which is 52 inches. I tried to mount it on top of the windshield facing forward-out but the front end of the roof is narrow where I cannot have the bottom end of the bracket to fully touch the front roof
Do you have pictures of this?
I think you'll have to do some fabrication, do a gutter mount towards the front of the doors. Pix below of a light bar I did a while back.
I think, however, you'll find that pictures will help us see what you're dealing with and suggest options for you. Maybe even just drop the light bar you got and whatever its brackets are on top of the truck and snap a coupla pix.
Also, speaking of newtons-per-cubit-hectare, this one had me going for a while: "60 something dollars which is 52 inches." Never seen dollars converted to inches before.

You paid $1.15 per inch? That's lower then the national average. Must've bought while a barrel of leds were cheap.
Must not have bought dimensioned lumber or tubing lately.
But newtons-per-cubit-hectare is wrong on many levels.

That was kinda the idea. Actually took me some Googling for "archaic units of measurement" I was proud of that.
Mind you, dimensioned lumber and tubing (or at least pipe) are as wrong as cubit-hectares-drams. Show me where on the 2x4 is 2", or 4". And don't even get me started about finding any dimension on e.g. 1.5" pipe which has any relation to an inch and a half.

The brackets dremu showed are what I did on her toyota. I made them out of 1/8x2 flat plate bent in a vise with a hammer.

Ill eventualy get some led lights. I want to hide 2 in my 82 turn signal bumper and one in the grille.
