Custom LED Light Bar Build (Part 1 "Project Night Light")

Join me in building a custom LED light bar mount for my truck. I start with a drawing and some pieces of metal and make it into a fully functional rig to hold my 42in LED Light Bar. The rack consists of bed rails, a headache rack, and a roof rack, all-in-one, to hold the light bar. I use 1.5in .083 wall square tubing, a 90amp harbor freight flux welder, a grinder, and a cutoff wheel to get the job done.

[@codamedford2564]

The way me and my dad test our welds is we throw the piece we are welding at the ground as hard as we can and if it doesn't break it's a good weld😂

[@literallynothing8934]

Works too though 😂

[@Potato_Man1776]

Yeah until you dent or damage the metal

[@befer]

not a good idea, it can develop micro-cracks if the metal is for example empty inside, or the opposite, it's full and has nowhere to compress

[@davecc0000]

Chris, When welding something like this that I want to keep out the water, I leave a 1/4" hole somewhere on the structure. After I think I'm done, I run the air compressor and put the blow-gun tip at the hole and pressurize the structure. (Have a friend do this for you.) Then I walk around and listen at all the welds for air leaks. Hear some hissing? Fire up the welder and close those cracks. Without a technique like this you're sure to get water in there somewhere... Fabulous end result. Who doesn't like *lots* of light?

[@xykhailscott4529]

:)

[@Dino30ish]

Adding a bevel to the tubing you are welding together will make the weld stronger .. It will add more surface area for the weld and allow the weld to penetrate deeper into the steel .. Also , when working with steel , any place you plan to weld you need to use a flap wheel or a sander and get the area clean .... There is mil scale on the steel from the forming process , you want to remove that so you do not have contamination in the weld .... You just need to knock the mill-scale off (so the area you are going to weld is shiney and not that dull grey / black look ).... With what you were welding , you want about 1/4 to 1/3 of the tubing clean (roughly 1/4 to 1/2" of shiny material outside of the finished weld joint ) ........... Looks good though .... Also , try practicing your welds by welding in lowercase cursive e motions ...... The weld would go line this (with all the lowercase e's attached ) .......... eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee , this will give you that professional stack of dimes look ...Just be sure to overlap 1/2 of each e .. (hope you could understand what I was saying )

[@chrisfix]

+Norman Murray Thanks a lot for all of the tips! I am doing another project this winter so I will use them for sure!

[@kennin121]

on up hill or down hill I like to do a j step it comes out pretty good, its hard to explain how it looks but you can look it up and it will give you the details.

[@kableguy5749]

+Norman Murray he's using flux core.... mill scale wont affect the quality of the weld at all.

[@maniacmcmuffin5025]

Kable Guy The thickness of this metal also doesn't require a bevel. The rest of what he said though was 100% true.

[@erikdude666]

Agreed with 99% of what you’re saying, personally I would recommend to use a straight drag across the joint with self shielded flux core. Watch the edge of the puddles and move according to how far the puddle wets out. Best welding tip I have gotten in my career so far, was learn to read the puddle. Once you understand what you’re looking for, it’s a joke.

A light on my dream truck? How to do this? Here is my answer. Chris: Hey guys ChrisFix here!

[@RigoDayu]

remember disconnect the battery before weld in your car

[@samcaruth]

Mig is not dangerous to your cars computer. If you are stick welding, yes disconnect a battery cable.

[@tupetsi430]

Sam Caruth Can MIG welding cause any harm to alternator?

[@genesis1914]

Rigoberto Chavez If your welding outside the car you don't have to.

[@lukasdaniels4344]

Or fry your battery I was welding on my truck and the battery was shot

[@Sobrroo]

So glad someone said it!

[@baileyseibert5812]

Not bad welds for being self taught but here's a few tips for projects similar to these. When wire welding you get better penetration if you push the puddle not pull the puddle. Also try to have a 90 degree work angle, your welds will improve a lot. I think someone mentioned it but take a wire wheel(4 1/2 grinder) and remove the dark coating on the metal "mill scale". That will also help you lay a stronger bead with less impurities in the weld itself.

[@hondaservicecenter]

Bailey Seibert can't really push. The slag with form pockets

[@hondaservicecenter]

Bailey Seibert will

[@crazybob1954mo]

+Kenneth Melrose SERIOUSLY!! Shop around for a better price!! A Great Quality True 300 watt light bar can be had for $300. The public is Really stupid about LED Technology. YES, I think LED's are great. But one does not have to pay the ridiculous price of a thousand bucks!! LED's are not nominally more expensive than the Old technology. A 3 watt LED element cost less than $0.80 when purchased by one thousand or more. SO a 300 watt LED light bar has only about $80.00 in the cost of the LED's. The rest is just for the extruded housing, a couple of end caps and the Plastic reflector nodes. The Public needs to open their eyes!! When microwave ovens and VCR's first came out they were up to $800 each! As the consumer became more educated, Now they are $59.99 because competition drove the price down! Don't Be A Stupid Buyer. Open Your Eyes People!!!! Sure, I will sell you a VCR for $800 if you are that stupid. OR you can could buy a Great one for $89.99! It's Your Decision!!

[@caparzzo]

i have so much respect for guys that make their own work. i just notice that is a thing on Americans, i don't know if is because the economic status, or because a hobby. what i don't know is how people get educated so young, and by working by therselfs. is a father son teaching? or what?, americans get very enthusiastic on technical and mechanical work. here in Mexico. first. we don't have the tools. or invest on them. we prefer that some humble worker do it of us for a cheap price. but, most of the times, we get a pretty shitty work. not so clean work.

[@chrisfix]

[@hazenblue9652]

Doubt youll still see this, but if you havnt learned yet, as a easy way to make your welds even better, especially when welding outside, set up a piece of wood or something to block the wind, the wind will push your weld puddle and can even make your welds weaker.

Great project. Nice video. Just a suggestion... whenever welding on your vehicle, it's important to disconnect the battery ground.

I am now in the habit of not risking my ECU....and shelling out a whole lot of pocket change.

[@mikeybaker1172]

You should be careful welding so close to your camera because you can actually blow up your camera battery

[@chrisfix]

Thanks for the tip!

[@GF_Burke]

lol

[@atraxr603]

Your wire sticks out too far when welding. If you have it like that it can't make its own little "flux atmosphere", so to speak, and gives you that dirty spattered weld. You also want to keep it as perpendicular to the surface as possible. I know that's not always possible but you should try to keep it as close to that as possible. It will make your welds lot cleaner and stronger.I hope that makes sense. Great stuff tho, I liked it. :)

[@tnoutdoors2719]

as long as the weld keeps the metal together it's a good weld

[@smokintirec1048]

TN outdoors It can still crack. Cracking welds (even if the metal is still together) is dangerous. It means the metal was brittle and can fall apart. But your idea is a good rule of thumb :)

[@zollieh]

SmokintireC10 if the weld cracks this also means that it is in fact now separated. In bones these are still fractures, either partial or complete, it's still "broken" either way. ;)

[@smokintirec1048]

imacheat7777 I've seen it crack about half way through the metal. While the other half is still together. Anyway...

[@shelbyvbthesnake]

Sure maybe on lawn mower. That mentality isn’t true in the welding world.

[@joserubenmacias9424]

OMFG, that was my first welder machine. work so good, and very nice project lml

[@RCTarot]

one way to make your weld tidy and stronger is to go forwards with the torch, with a mig you always push towards the weld pool, only with stick do you pull backwards, hope this helps

[@chrisfix]

Great tip, thanks a lot!

[@dREaDneck_Moto]

This is flux core, not mig. if there's slag, you drag, always. pushing is fine with gas, not flux.

[@killahb33]

+dREaDneckFab was just going to say that. He is also using the MIG tip not the flu tip on the welder.

[@scottcooperii7217]

Not bad dude, you may want to consider adding some gussets for strength if you plan on objecting it to any kind of load. But otherwise, Not bad.

Hey Chris, looks great man. Just curious, have you had a chance to drive around with it yet? I'm wondering if there's any flex in the piece of tubing that will hold the light bar over the cab. If you go over a big bump I'm afraid it would bounce a little and possibly ding up your paint or dent the roof sheet metal. Maybe a thin piece of rubber between the bottom of the tubing and the roof would prevent any unwanted damage there.

[@chrisfix]

nknasi Thanks! Yea, I was driving around today and it works perfect. There is no flex at all. I can stand on the top and it barely flexes. These are big/strong pieces of metal. I thought the same thing when I was building it initially but it is really sturdy.
