This was on a used Bronco I bought, and I would like to sell it. Would you mind telling me what it may be worth?

Worth? it is worth what ever someone will pay for it. New with mounts they are selling for about $2000.00. 19000 lumen. 8 light... I assume it is a combo with the 4 center as spots and the two at either end are floods. The lenses are adjustable so you can fine tune the light distribution.

I use a Rigid 40 inch light bar. I have posted photos of the forest without and with the light on. Have to use a wind deflector on the back side of the bar to stop the whistling noise got my at ZROADZ.

I have been thinking of a roof rack and adding light bar on it. How is the wind noise with the light bars? Cheers :coffee:
I just installed a roof mount 40" rigid and the wind noise starts at 40mph and gets worse the faster you go. I have a 4 door hardtop and the noise is pretty unbearable. Going to look into a wind diffuser and the rubber edging on the fins on the back of the light bar.

Have you tried different angles for the bar? Interesting that you have noise and @DUSTYcazOREGON doesn't. Doubt it's the paint on his brackets. Maybe he doesn't go above 40mph? 😅

I have mine mounted with Grimm mounts which are more of a lower profile mount. His is mounted to his roof rack and sits higher/above his bronco. I'm assuming the wind hits it at a different angle, but not sure. I just picked up mine last night from the ford dealer and couldn't even be on the phone cuz it was pretty loud/annoying.

Mine was mounted to the roof rack back in 2021. Sold the roof rack now mounted to the body.

I believe there was a slight design change in the fins on the bar. I have no noise caused by mine. Mine is mounted to the rack, the bars not mounted to the rack may be in a slightly different position causing noise. ?

Trailrax roof rack with 40” light bar cutout. For the light bar I have the 40” Baja Designs onx6 light bar. Love how it fits in the rack and it is insanely bright. I switched the two outer plastic covers from the combo beam pattern to the “wide cornering” and it helps throw a lot of light out to the sides and doesn’t have any major hot spots which I like.
My ditch lights are Rigid dss pro’s with the side shooter lights. Not nearly as bright as the bar but great for illuminating the sides of the trails and doesn’t blind the vehicle in front of me when doing group trail runs at night.

A second vote for @Baja Designs. I’ve ran the OnX6 on a previous vehicle and loved the throw of the larger reflector.

On the bronco, my choice was the S8. Slimmer to avoid removal for glass replacement and it won’t obstruct me loading the canoe onto the roof. DRLs. No Whistle at 110km/h, but some minor obvious air noise - I suspect less than a Linkable Pod Setup. Yea, this isn’t as powerful as an OnX6+, but this is more about zone control rather than raw output

Nice trail rash. I think I recall the video or pictures. Nice looking Bronco. (y)

Oh yeah, light bars, blah blah. :whistle:
