TJ Light bar brackets

[Rocket55]

Looking at fitting a 50" light bar to my TJ. Where's the best place to get A pillar brackets from? Also are those eBay ones from China any good?

I will also be putting A pillar pod lights on, where's best to get these brackets from?

There seems to be an endless list of options if you're in the states, but the market seems to dry up pretty quickly over here, or I'm just looking in the wrong place.

Hi.
How did you go with this?
I bought a light bar, brackets and pod lights. I will use the pod lights and after fitting the light bar for one day I removed it. The noise off of the bar plus the buffeting on the soft top was not worth it. Very disappointed.

To remove the noise from the light bar get yourself some pinch seal or U seal and run it along 2 - 3 of the cooling fins.

If you place it on the fins starting at the bottom, it will disrupt the air flow and the noise will disappear.

It's a simple and cheap fix.

Or start with a curved light bar to kill off most of the problem to start with and then ensure the light bar is mounted so there is some gap between soft top and bottom of light bar, this will stop the low pressure zone grabbing on the soft top at speed.

Yep as said above, get some of this stuff from Bunnings, less than $10 for a 5m roll and put it on the light bar and your noise will completely disappear.

Thanks guys, I have the fin noise sorted, my light bar came with rubber for that so it was never the issue and I should have been clearer.
The pillar mounts I have only just miss the top of the windscreen and the top of the light bar is about level with the top of the roof. Is there a brand of brackets that allows the light bar to sit further away from the windscreen. The buffeting and noise of the canvas with the light bar is insane.

Cheers, Adam.

Look at the Gobi Stealth Light Bar
