Default What's your favorite 50" bar light mount?

I'll start by saying I've used the search function and I've learned of a few new mounts, but I wanted to see if there is anything I'm missing. I'm looking for a 50" bar light mount for the bar light that just arrived today. I'd like to know what everyone is running, why the like it, if they are getting a lot of noise, and how you ran your wire from barlight. Any pictures would also be great. Right now I've been really liking the look of the HMF mount since I can get it with tabs for my pillar lights.

Thanks,
Pike

Make sure you get the right size hmf mount. I've heard there are two different sizes. One for the 50" and one for a 52" so be careful

I went with the PSC mount for mine. Lil pricy but we'll worth it. No noise here. I cheated with the wire, I was able to tuck the wire between the snorkel and PSC mount and it's completely hidden :thumbup:

Has anyone used the rigid industries. It's either that or the HMF I think. My light bar arrived so this is the only thing holding me up getting it mounted

I've got the HMF. I ran the wire down behind the mount. It comes out perfect right behind the pillar tab. I've been happy with it since they sent me the stainless bolts. The originals rusted in like 3 days.

The rigid industries is the poison spyder mount. I think it's just already powder coated instead of bare.

I really like my HMF mount. Fits perfect for the ENGO 50"

I just ran the wire straight across and under the freedom panel, down the a-pillar under the moulding and through the firewall.

How is the machining on the HMF? I saw a video on YouTube, they said the machining was kinda rough and that it did not have a good fit on the pillars. They also complained about the weight of the mounts and how many mounting points that attaches them to the body.

What are your thoughts on all of this?
