Suggestions - integrating lightbar and roof rack

Chris Draughon

I'm looking for suggestions on a combo that works together. My 4dr Bronco should be arriving this week. (Deliver to the rail depot last Thursday, 25 miles from the dealer). I'd like to add a roof rack and light bar but I've not seen much that combines products from different vendors. I'm not a fan of the OEM roof rails.

I like the ZRODZ look but not their integrated lights. I like the KC lights but I don't see them attached to a rack. It looks like vendors are all taking advantage of the built-in mounting location on the Bronco. How would you combine products?

Has anyone put a combo like this together?

That ZROADS mounting location has milled slots so you could set it up differently. I like the way their light rack tucks into the windscreen frame. However, the lights they are using are small so that messes up the spacing. @ResidualGenius contacted them about getting a non-drilled version so he could set it up with larger lights (I think he was kicking around 6in round lights, but I don't remember exactly). Alternatively, you could fab a new plate on top of that one and drill it out to make your light spacing work out.

The 50in lightbar from KC has 8 gravity pros on it and they are 6in, so thats probably the upper limit on how many you can run. Thats also probably what will end up on my truck whenever it gets here. I really like the way round lights look on the bronco. I think the Flex era series are probably better lights, but give me the old school round ones with Smiley covers. And also slot mags, but thats a different topic :)

Thanks for the input. We have similar tastes with the smileys.

The Trailrax roof rack allows an integrated light bar- not sure if that'd work for you but the roof rack itself is the best looking on the market in my opinion.

I got nothing back and have been talking to BadAss Tents and they have been awesome to deal with. They are working on a lightbar option and just came out with their wind deflector so they are moving forward really well and I like their design much better too. All 3 panels (4dr) are removable without removing any of the rak and they also already have rear side accesory parts too

I like their rack. Wondering if there is a light bar or rod that can be mounted to the front of it. I'm not concerned about the wind deflector.

Talking with them they are designing one, not sure on time frame though. I could care less about the wind thingy too LOL
