Which Light Bar Bracket?

Picking up a used Baja Design 30" S8 and looking at mounting options.

looks like cali raised and diode both make brackets that would work.

Anyone have experience with either or have any other suggestions?

The DD one is known to be imperfect and was recently reinvented; see this thread. That said, I own the DD 42" setup, and last fall, I took the time to remove and re-install everything (added Loctite, etc.), and I haven't had any issues since. But with a 42" bar, it's basically impossible to adjust once installed (you can't get an Allen wrench in there) but maybe the 30" bar is easier.

 

For the 30" bar behind the lower grille, the BD brackets are the best design I've seen, since they rest on the crash bar to help support it. I can't find them by themselves, though, but maybe @Baja Designs can suggest a way to get a set without buying the full light bar kit

Edit: Looks like the CR ones use the crash bar as well, but it's tough to say how well those would keep the bar from rotating. And it's for a 32" bar, so it probably won't hold the 30" without some spacers, which will add to the rotation issue.

 

I noticed SDHQ has a kit for this specific bar but they don’t have an option on their website to buy just the brackets. I may give them a call later today and ask

 

I think that one is just BD's kit, but definitely call them up and see what they say.

 

Right on! Will do. Thx

 

Hey @COTundra23, I can help you out by getting just those brackets if you are interested. We don't sell the brackets on our website due to the validation process we require for a single sale on just the brackets. A sale on just brackets requires a form of proof of purchase on the light featured in the kit you are interested in. Let me know if I can help get an order going for you.
Best,
Brandon
