You mean the bar doesn't fit? It's a 40" bar?

Leave the brackets a bit loose while you're fitting the bar. They have about 1" play on each end. If your not fitting by more than that, you have the wrong size light bar my friend.

I should also mention that it's a tight fit with the fins in the back. I had to kinda jam it in there. While keeping the bottom of the brackets loose I tightened the bolts going into the sides of the light bar. Once those were tight, i tightened down the bottom ones that go into the car. Careful not to over tighten those, they could strip. And the fins on the back of the light will definitely be touching the radiator.

They hold ok for street queens. If you plan to off-road the truck plan on upgrading the plastic nut that the torque bolt goes into.

Ok. I just followed the Rigid instructions. I would have hoped they would mention something. Those didn't look like regular nuts, more like square clips that fit only in cars. Any recommendations? I'm thinking brand new bolt and nut with a washer, but for the life of me I can't see how I would tighten that with so little space to work with.
