Off-Road Light Mounts
Anybody seen this type of mount before? I think it is an old Hickey mount. Sure would like to have a couple. Any idea's?

Re: Off-Road Light Mounts
Almost looks like it just clamps on to the drip rail.

Re: Off-Road Light Mounts
Yea, that's what I thought. I looked it up in my back issues of 4wheel&offroad magazine. A "vintage" 1979 issue, and I was right, it say's they were made by Hickey. Good luck finding any of those still out there eh? Maybe I'll think about mounting them on the frt bumper instead. Sure think those Hickey's look cool though!

Re: Off-Road Light Mounts
I thought I needed off-road lights, but then I relized by the time night falls I start drinking lots of beer and kick back at camp with a nice fire. When I first got my blazer I wheeled it drunk twice...both times I broke my truck so I vowed never to wheel drunk again (never a good idea in the first place) hahaha! Damn kids!
 Anyway I do have lights mounted to my bumper ~never realy use umm.. With light up there I would guess routing the wires might be an issue, be neat to see how they route.

Re: Off-Road Light Mounts
Looks like in addition to the little shields that mount to the bottom of the lights you need to paint the hood of your truck black to prevent glare!

Re: Off-Road Light Mounts
Yea, got thinking about that. With as much lift and tire set up as I'll be running, those lights would be shining too far away to do any good! I still think they look cool! Anybody seen them before?

Re: Off-Road Light Mounts
The mounts went under the drip rail with allen bolts through from the top.

Re: Off-Road Light Mounts
Cool, don't really like the thought of drilling holes in the drip rail. That looks like the same type of mount w/out the shields. Any markings or ? on them anywhere? I'm thinking any shields like that from "back" in the day would be rusted away!
