Default exo light bar on wraith

Anyone have a write up on mounting the exo light bar on the front of the windshield of the wraith?.

Not much to write up.

AX30709 is the part number for the light bar kit.

You use the clamp mount that fits around the a-pillars for the lower mount.
The mounts for the support arm are secured by the first set of roof screws.
You pick the support arm that gives you the angle you want for the light bar.





This thread has info on the wiring.

I believe my EXO light bar came with instructions for mounting either to the Wraith or the EXO, but it's pretty easy to figure out without them just by looking at pictures on this site.

How does that hold up to tumbles? I like the look, but I think it would be swinging by the wires in about 10 minutes

no instructions for installation.

It will slide down the A-pillar when you tumble unless you screw it down

It does ok. If you hit really hard on the light bar it will cause it to slide down the A-pillar a bit. If it is attached solid to the cage like on the Exo, you can break the light bar with a hard tumble.

I had to use longer screws on the roof for the support arm mounts. The stock screws pulled out after a few roll overs.

Found this pdf with a Google search. Universal 5 Bucket Light Bar Set Instructions. Give it a minute or two to load. Same instruction sheet that is included in the package.

it actually looks good when its down a bit after crashes and tumbles

some 1:1 off-road baja trucks use the light bar pretty low






a rock crawler is not a fast vehicle so, it can work to have the light bar lower than others rigs



this is mine
