I’d like to purchase an off-road light bar (eBay) with a plan to install it myself.

EDIT: OEM Light Bar

I know the new physical attachments have been previewed, but not released yet. That said, if you do the glue properly, do you trust the glue?

I made 2 brackets for roof mount. Bought golf cart step down transformer. Mounted it on right side.
Not pretty. But. Less than $100 total.
I got light bar off FB. Transformer off ebay. VERY BRIGHT. I did same for under front bumper. Output wires are under frunk.
All controlled off screen as power

Yes. I have the OEM lightbar (installed by my local SC)on one CB and aftermarket lightbar (installed by my friend) on another CB. Both glued on and Zero issues so far. I have driven both at speeds over 90mph through bad rain storms, freezing temp to scorching 115 degrees in the deserts.

Oh. I made mine in September 2024 before the OEM. But the glue on has failed several times

Ive had mine on with just VHB tape (what tesla is currently using for new installs, sans the bracket) and its held up great for nearly 3 months. Followed @hemiarch ’s thread here: https://www.cybertruckownersclub.co...-to-glue-on-a-used-oem-beast-bar.45326/page-7
