It will save you shipping cost.
Just threw mine on craigslist. I'll be happy to make back what I paid for it. I'm just gonna get two 20" bars for the hood and bumper with mounts. It'll cost me the exact same amount as the 50" without the stress and worry.

Anyone on this thread interesting in taking my bar and RC mounts I'll sell it to you at the same cost I bought it for. Obviously, shipping will be on you. I haven't even opened the packages yet so it will all be untouched and brand new.

I'll do the light bar and RC mount for $350 plus shipping. Here's the link to my thread...

Those mounts look great, but there's no visible difference in the light bar and the way it mounts. It appears to be the same type and size bolt as the Ebay light bar.

So far, I'm not having any issues with the Eautogrills mounts, but I do like the way the HMF snugs up against the A-pillar. If it truly handles the 52" light and snugs tight to the pillar, I may just buy them. Can you confirm the fit?

He is using it with a different bar so his fit may be different. I would wait till jeep-rat gets his in and see how it fits with the 52" bar

Do you recall if the the hole of the eautogrilles mount 3/8? I would like to get to fit as snug as possible without having to drill out the hole bigger on the mount.

I would be able to find out for myself, but my mounts were never shipped after I bought them on December 19th, and they won't be here til Tuesday. They are giving me 20% off for the wait though, so I guess it's not all bad...hah

I don't know guys I have mine on and I'm happy with it. I've only driven it around town not on the highway yet so I'm not sure about the noise. I may drill it out to 3/8 and re tap it. Ha I learned a long time ago that nothing is a bolt on

No the holes are not 3/8. I drilled mine out when I tapped the light bar end caps

The hole on the mount was about 1/4 inch, just a hair bigger then the bolt that came with the light.

I just tapped my light to 5/16 now I need to dremmel out a little of the light housing so my bolt does not contact it inside.

For anyone looking at getting the Poison Spyder mounts, Baseline4x4 has a good coupon right now.

Code: RIGID

This will get you the PS light mount for $224.79 and free shipping I believe. Much cheaper than I've seen it available elsewhere.

So I tapped the light to 5/16 drilled all the way through the end cap and removed enough metal from the housing so the bolt will tighten down without bottoming out. It seems very secure now I also added the rubber bushings that came with the light mount between the light and the mounts, she's very snug I'd be surprised if it falls off now.

To eliminate the wind noise which was pretty unbearable I purchased some campertop gasket from Napa cut it in half then folded it in half and inserted it between the bottom 4 fins this worked out pretty good.

I couldn't be happier I'm about 245$ into the light plus it gave me something to do
