Limb riser roof mounting locations

[IISPEEDYII]

Where would be a good place that is strong enough to mount a bracket for a limb riser on the roof? I don't have a Gobi so I can't attach it to the basket so thats sadly not an option. My other mounting point will be the brush guard.

I've been contemplating the same thing. My idea was to make a plate that stretches from the first roof rail mounting point (same place roof racks are mounted), to a second mounting point that's hidden under the widow pillar moulding. Some people have used the widow pillar mounting point to screw down the faulty moulding. I also saw it used on a custom light mount. If it feels flimsy, you may want to join the two sides together in an "H" configuration. You could even hide the plate under all the moulding, and only make stick out a perpendicular tab to mount cable. If you do hide it under moulding, AND have the roof markers, the crossbrace could also be hidden under the roof maker moulding. Does this make sense?

Here's an example where the second mounting point can be under the moulding.

The rear mounting point would be where that little square in the moulding is in the bottom left hand corner of this pic. You could just make a flat plate that stretches out from the two mounting points. If you want something sturdier, you could make a u-shaped piece that moulds over the factory moulding similar to the light bar mount in the above link. Just some ideas that I have been brewing in my head.

Yeah it makes sense! I was tinkering with a way of mounting it to the bolt under the moulding, Im being hesitant because I don't wanna just rip the bolt out the first time the risers go under pressure, so the H configuration sounds like a good idea to me. What you mean is joining both sides of the car with a piece of metal making an H correct? Or did I misinterpret that?

 

[ReconH3]

Correct. I'm also sceptic of tearing out the bolt since they're pretty weak in the Hummers. I was thinking of adding a spring to the cable that would stretch and give or some other type of "fuse". I'm contemplating making them full length of the roof rack rails since I have no intention in using them for anything else.

Place the bracket in the door frame. Then attach at hood.

That's an interesting alternative. Thanks for sharing.

That would be a perfect spot, but there's no way my dad lets me still through the frame hahah.
