Light! Alot of Lights! Help

kvark · Mar 26, 2021

On my Raptor i have 5 Vision X led-bars mounted in the grill(cut out for them), plenty of space, reaching about 80.000 luminen i think they said. Now with the TRX is seem much more complicated they said same thing is impossible, i dont really want the machine to become higher, so roof mounting is preferably a no no, besides im afraid of noise.

I need to have a leer 100 mounted for the dogs, so left is a front bar, but unable to find any at all, and honestly it easy it looks like a 80th pickup... Help! i need to light, i need to win against my friend who also have a raptor with about 80.000 luminen!

What can i do? Been looking throught the forums but not seen anything )-:

Regards
Kvark

The Hellcat Motor needs a lot of fresh air. I wouldn’t do something like this to a TRX.

Do you have any concerns about fitting in a garage or parking garage? I would put the most insane light bar on the ram bar or similar bars as you can. Probably will be your best bet.

This was something done by a shop out of Mansfield, Ma:

TRX with Leveling Kit and Behind Grille lights

First off, I didn't do this but wanted to share some pics I found online. Not my truck but one heck of a build. This might be the first leveling kit and behind grille lights. Hopefully this is a forum member and we can get more details.

But the size bars/light you are looking for, I would do a big light bar on the ram bars and then 2 big cubes on the back of the hood by the pillars like this:

Thats probably the best I can think of apart from a custom bull bar on the front bumper.

My bet is 4 BJD LP9s put out more Lumens that all those bars combined.

Im afraid of noise and a bit of garages, i park outside at home but once in a while i need to go to the city, but im not sure i will fit anyway so maybe thats the best solution!

Problem is mountig those, you see anyone doing it on TRX?

On the two sides of the grill there are spots that are actually solid behind the grill so mounting lights behind the mash there will not restrict airflow and of course the red line below is where you could fit a massive bar out on the bumper with a couple of brackets.

Thanks,

Thanks, a bit scary to mount the lights as a new bumper (-: Regarding the red slots i will look into see if i could fit anything powerful there! Thanks!

There was a company that made a motorized rack where the lights would fold in/out to give you clearance when needed:

Also, if you have a custom fab shop you trust, maybe they can get a custom bar that uses the front tow hook mounting plates and run something like this:

Just some ideas. I've never done the motorized bar. Looks cool but just another thing that could break down after some years but a cool option.

Wait until companies start coming out with front bumpers! They usually have a winch option too!

I’m waiting on the baja designs bumper they were working on. I am going to put so many lights on this that you can see my truck from space

Mrgoggles · Mar 30, 2021

I hope it is better looking than the ADD bumper they are advertising! I am not in love with that one!

The actuator on the bar is garbeo lasted about a year and a half, the bar itself is terrible quality to. Started rusting and flaking after a year.

Thanks for sharing. It looked cool but good to get some honest feedback on the reality of it.

Get rigid lights! Never had a problem!
