Just installed mine and it was way easier than i thought it would be. Looks great and super bright. Thanks for the video Hope to see some of you at the ADK Jeep invasion in Lake George.
Hey Jesse! Great video. How long and what gauge wire is used in the harness? I saw another video where the harness was run inside the rail through two small drilled and grommetted holes. I don't think they were using heavy enough wire to handle the wattage of their light bar. Thanks!
why not just split the grommet halfway and slide it over the wire once you push the relay through the hole. you can follow up with some silicone sealant to prevent water ingress at the trunk. Do the same for the firewall grommet. Much better than cutting wires! Also a dab of dielectric grease to keep the connections dry and clean wouldnt hurt especially if you are going trail driving.
Does MFC still make thoughts mounts? Either way what would I call them? I’ve been trying to find some that I could use on a KJ if there’s any type you can recommend 😁
@@jesselambros8520 will do. Not sure when I will though as im probably not going to install anything for a while. Just tryna find everything for when im ready!
So I am doing some research for this light bar. I know it says DOT approved amber drl, and i'm trying to check that vs the laws in Pennsylvania and I'm coming up empty. Because it is a DOT approved light, would that get around the "off road lighting must be covered" law, or should there be something else i'm looking for. I love the look and would love to use the DRL as it is intended just trying to do some research before hand and didn't know if you had any feedback on this from anyone. Thanks Jesse! Great work!
I am unsure of the Pennsylvania laws about lighters. The amber function allows it to be DOT approved based on the federal DOT requirements for roof mounted lights. Worse case scenario, we do sell a cover specifically designed for our bar. Hopefully this helps and answers your questions.
@@jesselambros8520 thank you sir. I put my order through yesterday for the light bar mount and switch cubby panel. Either way I want it 😂. May have to do some digging for the drl option but it’s a killer product and I can’t wait for it to show up
Visibly exposed wires on the outside of the car? Zip ties? There HAS to be a way of running the wire down through the A-pillar without having to run them around the whole car.
Man I don’t know bout wiring it front to back kinda seems like a waste of time and material another commenter said easier to drill and grommet and maybe not even have to drill
We provide a solution so a customer does not have to drill through their roof. There is the possibility that the roof could leak afterwards, and we would hate for our customers to go through a situation like that. If you wanted to drill through the roof, you can still use this harness, you would simply tuck the extra wire up into the headliner.
Where’s the video for the electrical switch for the inside of the vehicle? Trying to find it with no luck. Love the products you guys make!
2 videos in a week? No complaints here🔥
Three actually!!!!
@@jesselambros8520 shoot then I’ll definitely check out the one I missed!🤙🏽
@@tonybazan1373 another tomorrow!
@@jesselambros8520 rock on brotha🤙🏽

Thank you very much for the kind words. I hope to make it up there. Please leave a great review on the product page if you can.

Love these videos, love my Jeep Cherokee, and my name is Jesse as well, how funny😂
I'm thinking drilling a hole left to the roof mount, grommet and done. Way faster.
Will I be able to mount a 50” straight led bar on my 2020 grand cherokee with this bracket? If they do I will order immediately 😮
Only 42” fit on these vehicles
@@jesselambros8520 thank you very much 👍🏼
Will these fit on my 2020 Grand Cherokee?
Yes they will
@Jesse Lambros right on, thank you!
@@CryptidHunter_official very welcome
Any wind noise at higher speed?

Will it work on 2020 Cherokee trail hawk
Yes absolutely
Is there a way to run the wire to the Rear without using Zip Ties on your Side Rails? Looks a little odd having zip ties on ur side rail forever
Yes. Additional options include drilling for p taps, or using an adhesive backed zip tie holder.
Love the oregon hoodie. Go ducks!!!

Yes we still make them! Give us a ring 1-833-MFC-OFRD

@@gencoupek Amazing. Thank you for the support.
If I have a power lift gate how do I get it in my rear end?
You would either have the same grommet, or you would utilize your own
hello,
who makes or what brand are the brackets you have attached to the roof rack that extends your light bar out to the roof edge?
That is made by MFC Offroad
So... When's there going to be an MFC rail system to mount these on? Asking for a friend
By Memorial Day fingers crossed!
Can this lightbar be installed with a Gobi rack or does it use a proprietary bracket?
This easily integrates to a Gobi. I have one on the Hellhawk Gobi
Does this light bar work and install the same with a Cherokee that has the panoramic glass roof ?
Yes works perfectly with a sunroof

Well, you could drill, to not have any exposed wires, but we don’t recommend that.
@@jesselambros8520Thanks for the input. We’re thinking to put the hole under the rack mounting. After all, look how many holes the rack has for it.
@@theocschannel4111 the MFC roof rack has hidden tie down points too
@@jesselambros8520 Hey, Jesse-just found this. What do you think?
ua-cam.com/video/saId7npXgnE/v-deo.html
So much wiring, why not use a 6 gang switch panel from auxbeam? Just need to wires, no huge wiring harness and no pulling all these side panels.
To wire this correctly, you need to wire it exactly as shown. That's the cleanest way of doing it WITHOUT running a wire down the windshield.
Was considering getting a light bar till i watched how to install
There’s other ways to install. However, the correct way is outlined in this video. It’s the cleanest and most appropriate
next time drill a hole through the roof rack and run the wire through it...
@@unforgiven101inc great idea thank you
