Hello, me again. Got my Hella lights in. Went with 7”, going to try to fit them this weekend.

would anybody mind sharing some close up pics of the front rack struts? My rack didn’t come with them, and I’d like to try to fab some front supports as it’s dipping down some.

bonus points for inside/outside pics and measurements.

thanks!

Alright, well I finally got it done (mostly)

the rack is wired up, and terminated at the rear (I’ll probably enter through the rear gate) with a waterproof plug:

I’ll wire up the switches another day, it’s hot AF outside.

I would still love to see somebody’s front mounts on their expedition rack so I can try to fab something similar looking!

3D printing some cowls to make it pretty, here’s my rough draft:

And here is my final, which will be on the printer for many many hours in a respectable resolution:

There was 1 option, but I forgot who made it. Even with the 1 option it wasn't that great. Your next option is crossbars and a basket, and that's still not that great of an option. Best option is to commit and get a real rack, Prospeed, Frontrunner, baja rack, or voyager. IMO, in that order. Prospeed is sleek and very form fitting. Frontrunner is probably the most versatile. Baja rack and Voyager are pretty similar and HD.
Crossbars and a basket will significantly increase your height. I was height constrained and went front runner and everything has a way of securing to their channel system.
