Now I custom fabbed up a 4 light roof rack and I took a Pro-Comp Prerunner bar and custom fabbed a mount for my explorer. The Pre Runner has 4 offroad lights on it with a attachment that welds around the bumper.

I am going to re fab my roof bar to hold 5 lights and look like a rally truck,

The roof rack on there I am going to fab up like, so it projects over a little past the roof above my windshield but it will hold 5 lights.

i don't have the bumper and bumper lights on my truck anymore but i do still have the roof rack with the lights on it. the lights are just drilled through the bottom bar and bolted on the rack.

Roof rack is a Lund Safari basket. Had it for a lot of years, it's held up very well.

Here's a couple different setups I've done, I've since removed the Yakima MegaWarrior basket and am selling it locally with the offroad lights, mounting brackets and j-hook spare tire hold down I made for it. next is just on the roof rack cross bars I bought from ebaymotors and The amber L.E.D. tractor-trailer abs lights mounted to the cross bars from a truckstop.

I bought the rack off of Amazon about 5 years ago. Im sure any 4x4 catalog or online store will sell similar or the same ones.

I removed the license plate (when I moved out here to PA) and all I did was line up the 3 lights, drill holes through the bottom of the chrome part, and bolt them right in. I made sure to measure and buy the correct size lights so they would all fit and angle correctly. It was pretty easy. I can take and send you some pictures if you'd like, just shoot me a PM.
