Took me 5 years of scouring craigslist, but I LOVE the aluminum Expo rack.
I carry my spare, 16" greenworks chainsaw, 'mattracks', shovel, and totally un-necessary lights:

Hey @morrisdl

I also have my recently Craigslist acquired expo rack, and I’m trying to fit some totally unnecessary lights to it.

would you mind sharing how your lamps are attached, possibly with some close up pics?

the voyager on my D2 has plenty of tabs, but the expo doesn’t look like it was “meant” to accept lamps.

cheers

Sure; Digging way back to 2015....Measure twice, you only get one chance.

Totally unnecessary light, but huge improvement on rack esthetics. before:

Awesome thanks! So we must “cut cowl” to do this. It’s actually the wife’s request and MY reluctance for once!!!

@Mx468 thanks for the link, but I’ll be fitting four rounds like morrisdl, and would like to closely adhere to the G4 aesthetic.

Yes - the G4s cut the cowling to fit 7" round lights. I wanted to stay same as well. Here are some pics I found from the install I followed (sorry I dont remember the name to give credit):

Awesome thanks! I’ve found some of those already but the dimensions are incredibly useful.

are we sure the G4 was equipped with 7” lamps? I have four 7s on my D2 and they seem larger;
