New Product: A-Pillar (Ditch) Light Mount Brackets (Semi Flush Adjustable) for Bronco, Bronco Raptor and Everglades.. (Video)

[SPVPARTS]

NOW IN STOCK!

So we started working on these a LONG time ago.

We wanted to develop a SLOTTED but flat bracket to allow both LARGE and small lights on your A-Pillars. The problem is, depending on the lights you choose, a one position mount isn't always the right answer. This is because larger lights may hit the antenna, or be too far in or out. We like modularity. With that, you can position any light any where on the A-Pillars.

Back in Feb, Eric (one of our local customers) came to us with his everglades and asked if we could come up with a solution for him as well. So we started working on a Hybrid version for both.

In late April, our 2024 Raptor 37 came in and we had to put these on hold to get some new bumper mounts designed. We got those done and have now finished our new mounts. As you will see in the video, these are pretty cool. You will have total control to mount them inside, or outside. On the Everglades, the snorkel side (which is unique) will mount inside. However, you can still mount the driver side in either direction.

These will be made from high quality stainless steel. Then coated with our high quality textured powdercoat.

I'm sure you will see some copy cats in the future out there, but rest assured, we only use the highest quality materials and we have one of, if not the HIGHEST customer satisfaction ratings in the business. So you can be sure, your products will be the best you will find.

We will allow preorders in the next week or so as these will be going into production any time.

So enjoy the video -

Looks great! Love how these turned out and excited to see the final production version. Great idea with the slot to give some ability to fine tune the placement and look of things.

Really like it. How about a dual option for non Everglades. Like you flush bracket better than rigid/ADD dual options. Nice to put a 360 close to mirror and then one in usual spot. Have the same bullet antenna as video so bracket has to go around it and put a light on each side. Thank you

Good question!

I actually thought about that, and even did some prints and design on one. Essentially it would be like taking two of those and merging them together over the center where it mounts. So in essence, like flipping the one in and one out at the same time.

It may be something to look at if there is enough demand? If you or anyone on here is interested in something like that, let me know. I just didn't know if there would be as much demand for a dual. We sell the Rigid dual brackets too, but there isn't as much take on those as our singles?

If there is though, it wouldn't be hard for us to just double that design.

This looks promising to me. I've been wanting to find a bracket that would allow me to keep my rugged radios antenna mount similar to what you've done over on everglades snorkel side: picture for reference:

So simple yet so effective. Have you nailed down a price for them yet? Definitely will be some copy cats if you price them too high.

 

[Dugout]

Depending on price I’m interested for sure.

No, we don't have the exact pricing yet, which is why we haven't opened them for preorder just yet. We never have huge margins in our products because we do always try to keep the prices down for everyone as much as possible, though. We should have that pricing nailed down once they go into production, so maybe another week or so.
Then, we will open up preorders with an initial preorder discount code to be sent to those who get on the preorder list.

If you are interested in being on that list, please text me your first/last name, email, and phone number, and I will send out the preorder info with coupon code as soon as the preorders open for them.
You can text me at (317) 934-6778.

Thanks!

I'm down for a double version! I have 2 lights mounted on each side now but I had to use 2 brackets that partly overlap to accomplish the task. I haven't found another bracket that I could use to mount 2 lights on either side and go around the antenna.

I’d also be interested in this bracket for dual ditch lights.

Dual for me as well

That snorkel will throw one hell of a shadow on the passenger side, making that ditch light next to useless. The reflection from the snorkel would also be annoying as hell unless you only mount a spot light there.

There will absolutely be some light throw blockage by the snorkel. I have a current set from SPV on now as we’ve been refining. These new ones are longer, raised and can extend the light inward a little more and rotate on the mount to fine tune the aiming of light throw.

This should help to mitigate light throw blockage. Unfortunately with the snorkel there’s no way to get a true ditch light angle. I have seen a high mount on the top side of the snorkel to get a more ditch light aim. Another “A way” option if you will. I am more of a symmetrical person so wanted something that looks good to my subjective eye while being modular enough to assist in getting a decent amount of light to the ditch side.

The light reflection is not blinding by any means on the current set up I have installed on the black plastic. The lightbar has more of that glare on the hood. They are aimed slightly out currently and cover a good section of wide angle lighting for the assistance of identifying deer on the country roads here.

The Endstate is hoping we can provide an A way solution to assist us with Everglades or to assist fellow Bronco owners that have installed the factory snorkel on their builds. It may not be perfect, but it is hands down the best solution currently that we have worked through with getting light throw to that area.

Yes, this is better than nothing but still very liniting. It may be better for Everglades owners to just bite the bullet and rely either on roof or bumper mounted ditch lights. The mod bumper in particular makes it easy to install pod lights at the outside corners of the vehicle while recessing them just enough within the outer limit of the bumper to protect them during serious offroading where the bumper may scrape. Won't be as efficient as roof mounted ditch lights but may be better than dealing with the snorkel.

As to reflections from the snorkel not being too bad, I guess that is a matter of taste. I find even the reflection from the side mirrors to be problematic on a non-EG Bronco, particularly on the driver side, when ditch lights are pointed sideways at 30 degrees or more, as they should be. The DV8 dual bracket offers a viable solution to this problem by placing the ditch lights low and to the side, but that triggers another problem - wind noise above 40mph. Fortunately that can be mitigated by keeping the ditch light at 30 degrees. I would love to have it at 45 degrees, but the "whistling" at highway speeds is quite annoying. I have tried two models of light pods and both whistle when aimed at 45 degrees.
