Does it look a little cluttered up there to you? Legit question. Maybe move the led bar back a few inches, away from the visor lights. It is supposed to rain all day tomorrow, crappy day.

Yea bro it does seem a little cluttered to me as well, I honestly tried to mount everything as uncluttered as possible but given the limited space and room after mounting the visor I had very little room to find a more appropriate place to mount it...I may have to make my own custom brackets or have them made

These are the brackets I used on my truck, but I have it all the way up at the roofline. I don't know how well they would work further back.

My lightbar came with those same exact brackets, problem is the new visor bulges out too much so I couldn't mount those brackets any closer than 6 7/8'' away from the front of the drip rail...mounting the lightbar that far back would of looked very odd(at least to me it did)

I spent over an hour trying to reshape the brackets with a hammer and channel locks(if I had a vise it would of made life a lot easier) but no matter how much I tried to manipulate them, the brackets still looked crooked to me.

I may just order a 54'' lightbar so I don't have to bend the brackets as much...if they make a 54''

Bummer :/ I think if you keep it back like that a straight bar might look better. I mean if you're gonna have to make custom brackets anyway :shrug:

I knew I was going to have problems mounting the lightbar after installing the visor, it was something I was anticipating...my only other option would be to cut the sides of the visor to better fit the brackets but I really don't want to hack up a piece of fiberglass that cost me $500

My final option would be to remove the marker lights and try to install something similar to this

I have a bag full of amber LED eagle eyes so this may be another way to go...only thing that sucks is I will have a bunch of holes on the top side of the visor if I go this route

Hopefully it'll run better once those are done.

I hope so brother, I've just about replaced everything engine wise brand new...if replacing the intake manifold, gaskets and knock sensors doesn't resolve the issues, I may look into getting another '01 Tahoe with similar mileage(96k) swap everything over and donate this money pit to FDNY fire academy...I'll get to watch it burn! lol:flamingdevil:
