anyone seen a KC pro6 light bar with the roof rack?

[jaeggernaut]

Has anyone seen a photo of a bronco with (any) roof rack that has the KC HiLites Pro6 windshield light bar installed (the one that hangs a bit lower)? Was planning on doing something similar but not sure it would look good together. Does anyone have any thoughts/opinions? Thx.

Notice no one has answered yet.

I just installed my KCs today. I'm waiting on ROAM to send my racks back since they were borrowing them. I'll let you know ow when I get them back.

Do you have the accessory rack already?

i just received my rtr roof lights which sit lower like the KC. I'm in line for a gobi rack. just not sure if those will look good together or not. thanks for the reply

I have an OEM rack. If I end up getting a roof top tent ever, I'll probably get on eof the exoskeleton things. I don't trust the fiberglass top to hold my ass.

Well tried to install the KC Hilites Gravity Pro 6 and I have the OEM roof rack. That is a definite no go. The way the KC mount is design does not allow for the roof rack to sit flush enough to reconnect to the bolts on the roof. I happen to also have the BAMF mounts too and they definitely don’t work either. Again, based around design of the mount. So I had to make the choice to not have the factory roof rack in lieu of the roof lights. Hoping KC comes out with a roof rack for the bronco like they have for other vehicles.

Does anyone knows the owner of this Bronco?

Don't know the owner but I contacted KC and asked if they made a bracket with OEM roof rack and they responded.

"Thank you for contacting us here at KC Hilites, Unfortunately, we do not make one but we have used the one in the link below with our light bar and the OEM roof rack with no issue."
Bay Area Metal Fab Part Number: 174

I have ordered a set and will update.
Hope this helps some of you.

so the roof rack just clamps on top of those brackets? interesting.
i think i might've decided to go half rack .. but interested to see what you end up with. thanks!

I wanted a KC light bar with a factory roof rack. I broke down and ordered what I thought would work. A 39” KC light bar and the Rigid Industries light bar brackets for the Bronco with roof rack. It is pretty much a straight bolt up. I had to change to mounting bolts that came with the KC light bar to 2” long bolts, and slightly enlarge the holes on the Rigid bracket. I am pretty happy, just need to find better spacers to grip the light bar better. Presently using solid plastic spacers with rubber washers to help hold it solid. It works, but not perfect.

 

[jaeggernaut]

That works. Nice!

I was hoping to have that droop you find with the KC bracket but yours looks great.

Update on the BAMF KC Light Bracket. Unfortunately the bracket has a center support gusset and it will not allow the OEM Roof rack to sit flush. I will need to modify the bracket in order for it to work.

Watching with interest. I thought I saw another thread where they used the BAMF mounts and notched the factor roof rack mount covers and made it work.

I believe you are talking about this thread. Not the solution I was looking for, but It will work
Customized and easy overhead Lightbar Mounting Brackets .... WITH factory rack still in place. Finally a solution
