LR3 - Any ideas on how mount a 50 inch LED light bar?

[DiscoNels]

Won this in a raffle at an off road rally yesterday. Wasn't really planning on ever mounting lights to my rig but since I've just won this 50 inch LED light bar worth $470 USD I'm now looking for ideas on how to mount this on my LR Expedition roof rack.

Since the rack is curved I'm just not sure how this would look or mount on the LR3. If only it had been the winch.

What do you guys think?

sell it or trade for a 40"?

You really need a curved light bar. Click on the link in my signature and go to my truck build link to see the most recent addition of the curved bar on my ("lowered") Expedition Rack.

I think 50" is going to be difficult. I just put a 42" on my front runner rack b/c I didn't want to go curved and it fits well and seems to fit the truck.

You need the prospeed mount for it.

Here is picture of mounting for a 40" bar. The 50 might be a tad too long. Trading down might make the most sense.

The challenge that Disco has is that the front of his rack is curved (not straight). So this is going to stick out, act like an air dam and scream like crazy in the wind.

Ah, gotcha-forgot the curve on that rack. A friend with that style removed the front air dam and it is essentially flat across the face like my Frontrunner.

I've decided to sell my light bar since it's straight and not curved which would fit my LR3 Expedition roof rack better. Seems to be only one source for the Raxiom light bars is here at http://www.extremeterrain.com/raxiom-50in-lightbar-j100989.html the online sale price is $470.

NOTE: The mounting brackets are slightly different from what is pictured. Brand new in the box, never mounted. Box only opened to verify contents. It's a solid light bar, very sturdy and well constructed.
