Hi everybody!
My name is Roma, i'm from Russia, i like vodka and once have seen a bear =)
I'm verry sorry for my poor english, too small practice killing all knowledges.

But still, I hope that you would understand me, and moreover will give me good advice!

So, I have a nice Wrangler YJ 94' 4.0 AT.
It's very difficult and expensive to have such car in russia, cause of customs duty and price for a devilery of different stuff from USA, which made in China , that is much more nearer :brickwall

But still I've done it. during three years I've spent on my YJ 25 000$(US), and whole price of this project is 40 000$ for me. In USA you have nice cars. american dream. but when you want any car made not in Russia you have to pay 2 times more. for example my friend bought LJ 2004 for 15 000$ in US ind payed 20 000$ customs duty :rantscream:

ok, forgot.


Now about my problem)))
i've bought Aurora LED 50" and looking for a place to bind it.
most of all I like standart decision- over the windshield.
but I have two problems: I've already installed Safari Snorkel ARB, so there are no variants of using loops of windshield, cause one of them is closed by Snorkel.

Only wariant I see is drilling of frame, but slill, may be you have some ready decisions? or there might be any kits for such installing that I couldn't find on a quadratec.com...

I really hope you will help me :)

Thanks a lot my friend!!!!!
i found only kits for TJ and JK, but not one for YJ :(

hope there will be such desisions cause I dont want to do it by myself.. its very difficult to make such holders without good instrument.
Well, they made the brackets themselves. I'm sure well be able to help you out somehow.

and you could also put it on the hood, if you have to. it would be a last resort to me though as i think the higher spot on top would give more illumination

Be careful with your lights above the windshield. I had KC Daylighters long range mounted above the windshield like you want and when ever I was in rain or snow I lost visibility because of the light reflecting back. I am not sure if that light will have the same issue but Just something to think about.

Also sweet looking YJ 🇺🇸

yeah, you're absolutely right about reflecting, but i'm going to switch it on only in forest, cause I'm afraid this LED can kill someone on a highway :D

and i have a fog lites, so this LED is just for a off-road fun...(but most of roads in russia like offroad in USA ;) )

thanks for 'sweet looking' ))))
I'm very proud to hear it from USA)))

Find a spot at the top of the windshield frame that doesn't interfere with the snorkel or hard top and have a couple brackets bent up. Drill right ito the windshield but cover with small bits of rtv when installing to block water.


Definitely a great looking jeep!!!

Dear friend))) it's a really good advice, but it's too... i don't know... i mean i know it alredy)))) the problem is-make it looks great, and have i right curve on brakets.
I'm looking for a kits because frame on the top has a round form and its very difficult to curve 3mm metal list...

This one wont interfere with your snorkel and you'll just have to drill a new hole for the mount.

There we go. I was hoping Carlos would hop and and tell him. I didn't know they had it on their site. Wasn't there the last time I was on.

Roma, that is what I was talking about. It will help you nicely.

Hi everybody! sorry for my absence on wacation.

First of all, I'm very happy to see, that on this forum there are a lot of good people, who ready to communicate and help each other)

some questions about link: is there are anby people who already installed such bar on a YJ?

As for me-this one is just what I need. but one thing cant let me sleep well.
How do you think, could it be, that after mudding it will be unreal to wash ***** between this bar and windshield frame?
 
#19 ·
I had a bar and if I went into the mud I had to make a specific point to spray that point to get the mud out. And it wasn't the easiest thing to get the right angle.

all-right said:
so you think that this is not the best idea?
My opinion says mount it lower. I'm just not a fan of it being over the windshield.

But if you like it don't let me stop you!!!

All right: Welcome to the forum. Where in Russia, was in Murmansk in 70 and Moscow in 98. I understand Fiat may build Jeeps in Russia. I think they will be called RJ's for Russian Jeep or maybe Red Jeep. As others have pointed out, depending on fog, snow, and rain may blind you. But they do look cool.
Your English is super far better than my "nyet or da"

Regards,

Jim W

Jim thanks a lot!) I've been in USA in 2001, Cincinatti, Ohio.
Also was in Florida, Orlando, and some more places.
I'm going to visit you country more and more.
Moreover I have an idea to visit some Jeep festival )))

I have been in buisness trip for a two weeks, that's why there were no messages from me...

I really don't know what to do. I very like Spider's variant... I like both variants. but it will cost me 500$ in russia...

may be someone could tell me about weight of this construction??
1 kilogramm will cost me 14$ of delivery by plane :((

Hey Roma, it's great to hear from Jeep guys spread all over the world!

With the cost of shipping being so high- I would take that money your spending on shipping and name brand cool modifications to pay for metal fabrication lessons and raw materials. You can make almost anything yourself; you can control the quality and features, you'll always know what custom capabilities you have under your Jeeps sleeves. And my favorite reason for creating your own custom modifications - You end up saving thousands and thousands of dollars which of course you'll end up spending on the Jeep anyway :laugh:

Great looking Jeep as well! I imagine a Jeep is a great vehicle for Russia.
