LED bar windshield mount

[sdgros01]

I just installed mt GG lighting mounts on my suburban, really easy and nice setup. I never emailed them but did call and talk to them and ordered them after that, now to fix the noise of the heat fins moving with the wind like a tuning fork id be happy

How sturdy are the mounts. And please keep us updated on the adjustment of the bar and the noise. I'm really debating on pulling the trigger on a windshield led and like the idea of the mounting of the gg and how it's more on the windshield rather than the roof. My main concerns were the strength and sturdiness off the mounts with a bar attached and the with the placement lower if it helped with the wind noise or not

You're gonna get noise regardless. The mounts are pretty sturdy with the light bar attached at least mine are.

What bar did you use for the GG mounts and can you take some pics of the mounting points?

I don't have the GG mounts, I got mine off eBay for about $89 bucks. I got the light bar from there too.

Can you provide a link?

I haven't seen the mounts listed again by the seller. Here's the sellers link for the mounts: http://www.ebay.com/usr/jhil3056?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2754

And this is the seller who I bought the light bar from: http://www.ebay.com/usr/foreverunauto?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2754

Came across these on ebay while searching for the ones I bought: http://www.ebay.com/itm/For-99-06-S...Parts_Accessories&hash=item1e97d20f25&vxp=mtr

I meant the message for 'tobysan90' who said he just installed the GG mounts. Was curious what LED bar he user and also if he could take and post some pictures or how the mounts mounted to the truck. When I emailed the company who makes GG mounts they said their mounts don't work with the Chinese eBay/amazon mounts that are 52-54".

Interesting that the listing says it will fit 99-06 GM trucks, but when I enter my vehicle year/make/model info in the drop downs, it says it won't fit.

Also, glad it worked out for you - I don't think I could've brought myself to buy something from a seller that only had 121 transactions and 90% positive feedback

Yeah I was kinda skeptical too at first but after considering most if not all the other mounts were almost as much as the lightbar itself, I decided to take a chance. They went on with ease and are pretty sturdy with the lightbar attached. I haven't had any problems at all. I was just glad to find a pair under a $100.

Glad it worked out!

I wish there was a way to attach it like that WITHOUT drilling 6 holes in the body of the truck... I think I'll explore options to install it behind my grill, using the radiator/oil cooler supports.

I haven't had any leaks so far. I laid out a bead of silicone between the mounts and body to help prevent that. Seems to be working pretty good so far. It took me a while to build up to drilling in my roof too but I finally did it.

+1 I'm also interested in seeing the gg mounts on the vehicle and also what bar your running.

I ordered a "kleenhall" mount. Just need for that to come in ans then order a bar. Still trying to find a place to order from. Amazon or eBay....

ok guys been awhile since ive been on the forum, and had some bad/good luck on my light bar. only have 1 picture of it mounted before it got removed. Had a tree limb fall and bust the light and windsheild, if it had not been for the light bar being installed it would have crushed into the roof so im glad i had it there for the time being. i still have good mounts so i might order another bar before too long and re install

 

[sdgros01]

I'm giving them "GG" one last chance at trying to make things right because it's exactly what I need and I know it's been use successfully. I really hope they make good on the deal

I'll update if and when I finally receive the mounts

Installed my bar today. So insanely bright.

Going to rotate up a bit looks like a lot of light shining on the hood.

Looks good I just got mine on today as well. Do you have any issues with with weather striping around the door not sealing down and the door not shutting/ sitting flush with the body with your mounts? I understand wind noise but sounds like I have the windows down at 30-40 mph+ when I'm doing 10 miles an hour.

Everything seems to seal fine although with door open it doesn't seem like it would. No wind noise yet but only been up to 50mph.
