Golight Stryker on a Tahoe? Thoughts?

[jsearles]

Considering purchasing a Golight Stryker to mount on my 06 Tahoe. Im weighing the pros and cons and trying to determine if its usefulness is worth having a large search light on top of my vehicle. If i do i will mount it forward and central to my whelen liberty. Any thoughts? Experiences with mounting or use with a golight stryker? Pictures would be awesome if anyone has any. Thanks in advance.

They are great. Personally to save holes I would mount it on the extrusion on top of the liberty. I will post some pics of one on top of a lightbar when I get to the computer with them on it.

Back in the late 90s I worked late tours (midnights), my "steady" RMP was a Jeep Cherokee with a Streethawk all-light bar. I had a Go-Light, I installed an eye hook in the front and rear of the suction cup mounting base, I'd suction-mount it to the center-section dome top and then back that up with a short bungee cord hooked to 1 eye hook, wrapped under the bar and hooked to the 2nd eye hook, it never got knocked off by trees or highway speeds.

Thats a sleek looking install. my only concern, if i did something similar, would be overall clearance.

I would watch parking garages and car washes. How tall to the top of the liberty is your tahoe? If it's under 7 ft you should be ok

I ask because radio rays (which are taller) make an f150 right at 7 ft at the top of golight and they fit everywhere except low garages here.

Total clearance with liberty is 6' 10".

 

[Jamey@NNE]

It would put you about 7' 5" then

in the past we have fabricated brackets to fit into the slots on the under side of a liberty with a plate that extends out the front you will loose a light head but it your take downs are in the center a little wiring and the stryker could be used as your td lights

Not sure about the Stryker, but I keep a radio ray on top of my blazer constantly with the magnetic mount and I've never had a problem. Used three different patrol vehicles in the past couple of months and it even works pretty good on the hood. Driven 80+ with it, thrown it on a wet truck, on top of snow, constantly on top of salt, doesn't even budge.

And that's something I forgot to mention too you could get a mag mount base.

I have one on my F150, the reflectors designed so it casts light over the light bar. Ony draw back is no carwashes, hand wash only...
