87sheerips Posted March 11, 2016 Author Report Posted March 11, 2016 How about some stock headlight brackets? The '01 I just bought are shaved off. I have the original headlights, just need brackets. Done and ready to order! Quote

87sheerips Posted March 22, 2016 Author Report Posted March 22, 2016 Light bar mount is sweet! Thanks man the fit is about perfect. Happy with it Quote
Time Machine Posted March 22, 2016 Report Posted March 22, 2016 Light bar looks good but I wonder about it blocking air flow to the radiator. If the arms were a little longer and tilted forward it would minimize that. Quote

Time Machine Posted March 22, 2016 Report Posted March 22, 2016 That light bar won't cause any issuies lol Overheating is always a concern. That light bar is blocking the bottom third of the radiator opening. That can't be helping. I'm just giving JDS some customer feedback. I wouldn't buy that set up the way it is. Make the arms a little longer and tilt it forward and I'd be more likely to consider it. Quote
Time Machine Posted March 22, 2016 Report Posted March 22, 2016 I ran a grille that covers more area than what JD has posted with the light bar, it isn't that big of a deal for the average trail engine or duner. Maybe if you are running a massive engine and driving like a bitch and can't tune, you could have heating issues. Okay, thanks for that info, good to know what other people's experience is on things like this. Quote
trickedcarbine Posted March 22, 2016 Report Posted March 22, 2016 Okay, thanks for that info, good to know what other people's experience is on things like this.Have you seen how many Banshees are out in the desert with big LED bars on them like that? Quote
Time Machine Posted March 22, 2016 Report Posted March 22, 2016 (edited) Have you seen how many Banshees are out in the desert with big LED bars on them like that? Well, no. But then there's a lot of Banshee stuff I haven't seen yet. 12 months ago I just barely knew what a Banshee was. Now I own two of them and I'm just trying to figure shit out and get them built up the way I want them. I did a little riding at St.Anthony towards the end of the season last year and I'm looking forward to a lot more this year. I took a short ride out there the other day on the '01 I bought in January. The sand was nice and smooth! Edited March 22, 2016 by Time Machine Quote
87sheerips Posted March 24, 2016 Author Report Posted March 24, 2016 It will be fine. You can tilt this forward in the current design and move the light bar away from the shroud if you wish. Think about the air that will rush underneath the bar and be forced into the radiator This will not affect your cooling whatsoever. These fenders however do trap heat a bit.... May add some louvers if I can figure out a way to make it look right 1 Quote
