Yakima Roof Rack

[kjg26]

Had anyone incorporated warning lights onto a Yakima or Thule roof rack? Currently I have a the two cross bars and a deflector and am looking to place some lights on my car for front/rear warning. Just looking to see if/how y'all used your yakima/thule racks.


Thanks

I've mounted a liberty to similar roof bars. What i ended up doing was bolting directly through the bottom lightbar frame and straight through the roof bar.

Thanks for that info, I guess I should have been more specific. I am looking for ideas on individual light heads. Small light heads. Not looking to put a bar up there.

Yeah....a pair of amber pimp pods on the rear. Drilled holes in it...not easy, but did it. Wire out the ends and into the cab. Pretty easy, looks clean and hardly can tell they are on there.

so you actually drilled holes in the bar and mounted them directly to the bar. I hadn't thought of that. I was thinking about using L bracket and drilling holes to the bottom with the bracket. I like your idea of the light straight to the bar though. Thx!

Yes Sir...looks good...you can use L brackets too..probably easier to do. If you have a Thule it is easier because the bars are square rather than a tube.
