Looks really clean can you share mounting pictures of the lights?

the best way to describe how I mounted this is by taking the slotted pivot bracket off (comes un attached in box)

 

then the rotate the piece with the bolts going thru it 90 deg so that the bolts are perpendicular to the light instead of parallel.

 

I then purchased longer blots, drill matching holes in the top center of the tow hitch plastic cover and tighten. as you do so the light will start rotating (its starts pointing slightly down)

Does anyone know where you could get a pair of windshield mounts for the K2 trucks?

 

Only ones I'm seeing are from SoCalsupertrucks.com and they are $200

Outside of the windshield, anyone else have a good mounting location for the 50" bars? I'm considering getting one of those $60 bars for shiggles

Edit:

 

What I would really like is a mounting location that I don't absolutly have to bolt into the the truck. Just incase if I decide I don't want to keep it or anything. My biggest preference it to be able to remove it without any remnince being left behind.

Here you go N-Fab Rear Runner gloss black. Mounted up some Rigid Industries Dually Floods, these things are amazing.

 

I did relocated my license plate to the Rear Runner, in the stock location it was too blocked for me to feel comfortable. Off Road Only makes a cool LiteDot Plate Light to keep my plate lit up, don't need any additional reasons for an officer to take a closer look.

One more photo from straight on. I am very happy with the quality of this N-Fab Rear Runner. Made in America too just like the Rigid Industries lights.

Up front I am running an N-Fab light bar with a 40" combo pattern Rigid Industries E-Series.

How did you mount that front light bar?

Good job, looks real good

I really want to get these front and rear bars but they interfere with the parking sensors

I really like the rear runner bar - the front not so much.. just my opinion. I wish there was a way to calibrate the sensors. guess those of us with rear park assist are our of luck.

Not completely out of luck but we would have to relocate the sensors

You could relocate sensors and fill in the holes in bumper or you could get another set and disconnect the sensors that are in bumper. Run wires to sensors that are in the bar. That's what I'm doing this weekend hopefully

When I have some time I plan to run a new set. I will be buying the sensors and leaving the ones in my bumper in case I decide to go back. Please post picture when you do yours.

    • I will admit I haven't experimented much with pressure drops beyond the numbers I put in and part of that is that the numbers I used are fairly low and then found out it would trigger regardless at that 35 psi. Having said that I had tried before had changed the placard pressures and being that I have a 1 ton set to 80 on the placard for the rear I believe it triggered close to 60, the front I don't recall now for sure but thought maybe it could get close to 45 from that factory 60 placard pressure. So I never did figure out if it was a number of psi from placard pressure to the alarm or a percentage of the total placard number as some figured it was like a 25% drop from placard pressure would trigger it. So as to try and answer your question, I believe I set the placard pressure on the front to 47 or so and while I run the front tires at 40, they have dipped below that some if its colder and I haven't put "winter air" in yet and never once have had the front alarm go off. I would say that the answer your looking for is no, that if you set your placard pressure to 45, you have a certain amount of room to drop below that pressure before the alarm will go off.    The pressures you decide to run in your truck, that ends up being what makes sense to you based on what your carrying in your truck or if towing, then have to bump them back up to something that will carry the load in the rear and the fronts typically left at the same pressure. It all comes down to that chart I put the link to and using an accurate roadside scale to be your guide, both unloaded and then loaded to know your minimum safe pressures.    I just wish GM would allow a person to change the readings for the tire pressures to the English system of pounds as I have to look at that goofy metric reading that will never ever jive in my head and will go over and change it just to figure out what they are if need be and then change it back. 
    • That part I understand, that the dealer can do it. But I'm not understanding why updates that were available to the truck since it left the factory, or the dealership originally, would not still be available to it without dealer intervention.   I'm thinking along the lines of recalls. They stay available until they are completed. Why not updates as well, especially since some of those can be safety related also?
    • That's good to know, but I don't think I'll even be running them under 45 in the rear  unless it's on the sand or something but will only be for a short distance anyways!    I didn't read all the instructions in the booklet yet, but do you know let's say I set the rear psi on the placard to 45, will the warning light come on soon as it drops under 45 or is there a percentage it has to drop from the set value before the warning light is triggered?
    • That's bad.  Like, its probably destroying the stub axle the CV slides into.   Do you have a proper lift installed with differential lowering brackets?  Did you install AT4/Trail Boss factory CV axles?  
    • Hot? New Jersey? Today? I was working on my old 2000 Silverado 1500 today. Believe me, it was boiling hot today. As it has been.
