I ordered the Gravity® LED Pro6 - 50" Light Bar and wanted to hear insights from anyone who installed it, what to look for, pros, cons, etc.
I plan to wire it to the factory AUX, and I also wonder if I need to pair any of the switches or if one (40 amps/switch) is enough.
Also, if anyone installed a lock nut on the lightbar, please share product info/link?
Photos welcome :)
Thanks!

Not a 392 but I had it on my diesel. I sold it because it was too loud with my SOT. It looked really great and was ridiculously bright though. The 40 amp (1 or 2) switch is more than enough. I ran the KC light locks (I think they were the m8 size but I might be wrong) and they worked really well with the KC mounts.

Dont do it!! lol....as awesome as Light bars look, expect alot of noise. The wind hitting it, will make the sound in the cabin very loud when driving on the freeway. I have a Rough Country Black series light bar and its awesome but would not do it again.

Thanks for sharing! nice build.
Have you considered a wind deflector for the noise/flapping on the soft top?

I tried everything. A wind deflector shockingly made it worse. Not exactly sure why, but I’m assuming it created a low pressure area under where it sits which would make the noise worse somehow. I think it might not be bad with a hard top, but I don’t know for sure.

Yeah, the guy from KC told me on the phone that it will be noisy with the soft top but shouldn't be noticeable with a hard top.

Seems a little silly to have that when about 2sq inches of led’s can put out 20k+ lumens

Someone on one of the Facebook groups installed these and said they were super loud, even with a hard top. It was a recent post.

Took a drive this weekend, 150 miles on a highway. The lightbar, as classic and exotic looking as it is, was so damn loud I didn't even hear a fire truck's horn. Windows closed, hard top sealed, and once you pass the 45MPH, you're done. I'll probably return it next week. Sad to do it, because it's so beautiful looking.
