3rd Gen Ram "Pre-Runner" Appearance Budget Build

[ramportin1]

Seriously a sick build you got going man, really appreciate the info and ill go with fiberwerx for sure then and not be so scared about fitting the hood lol. with the tube mounts off rigids website (same ones you can get off amazon for half the price i found out after i got them lol) you can mount the pods inside the bottom and top tubes so the light is more flush and not sticking out, also allow you to swivel and angle almost any way you want, though your pods look a little bigger then mine. do you know what brand light bar those are? ive crawled the net looking for ones that fit without having to custom fab some spacer mounts or use back mounts which would then only allow 1 bar

I was going to wire my old fog light switch into them. I'm not sure how i feel about them. This combo of pods and brackets doesn't have much adjust-ability.

Have you considered the tube mounts like Oriellys has or one of the other stores?

Those ARE actually tube mounts...the issue is they obviously point at a 45 degree angle...so to point the light straight, the other 45 degree angle has to come from the light itself...and these appear to only have like 40 degrees of adjust ability. I'll take a better picture tonight. but here's what i got.

I see now i think....you're telling me to get these...with 2 points of adjustment...?

They're the same Chinesium brand that my bumper is. they actually came with it. You appear to have the "real" NFAB right? I can measure mine tonight...adn you can see if they'd fit...and then maybe message all the ebay sellers and see if they have a listing for "just those light bars" since you have the bumper already and just need replacements.

You'll probably still need to insert spacers in like i did...but still better than paying a laughable $1400 for a light bar.

You those were what I was thinking of but honestly I'd keep the 5 degree angle. Give a better spread for use. But that's my opinion

Yeah I built it. still gotta add a few things to it like lights, winch the usual stuff. I love the wheels and also went with treadwright tires and there pretty good so far. Going to hopefully be getting fenders soon

Yeah my bumper is a N-fab, so it fits 38" bars. Rigid is the only company that makes a straight, dual row light bar that ive found that is 38" but ill crawl ebay and see if i can find something. thanks for all the info. heres a better picture you can see the mounts, i think these mounts are maybe 20ish on amazon. think they might give you more angling options.

Cool, i'll measure mine tonight. I almost bought that nfab, and i remember messenging a few companies, and they could get the 38 inch.

 

[Johnnymac2k6]

Well they are staying for now. Got them wired up.
Went back to the body shop and picked up all my leftover parts....soooo much stuff to sell/scrap

 

[Johnnymac2k6]

@ ramportin1 : As promised, measurements for my light bars. Lens is 37.75. Overall body is 39.25.

I already messaged the ebay seller to see if he sells them separate. Measure your gap and see if they'd work

 

[ramportin1]

You are the man! 40 inch gap exactly, that would be sick if they sell just the bars, would be what has to be the only "38" straight double row light bar there is besides rigids which are WAY out of the question lol that or I just suck at searching. Hey the pods look good I think, truck is beast

OR..for even less $, buy the 36's...and just put a 1 inch spacer on each end.

36INCH 1248W OSRAM LED LIGHT BAR SPOT FLOOD COMBO DRIVING 4WD CAR BOAT 35"37"38" | eBay

Round Spacer, Alum, 1/4 I.d., 1/2 o.d. x Variety, Pk 10 | eBay

you'd have like $120 in your dual light bars if you went this route.

toss in a cheapo relay kit for another $17.
