Rear facing light in Alpha1 Bed Rack

I was going to put a couple Duallys on my Alpha1 Bed Rack and couldn't remember the outside diameter of the tubing used. Anyone remember? Their site is apparently a little broken as the item page doesn't come up.

Also, Rigid's Bar Mount Kits are pretty specific (1.5", 1.625", 1.7", 1.75", etc.). Since the Alpha1 is LineX'd, should I get the next size bigger?

Finally, is $75 for the Rigid kit really worth it? Seems awfully high for what it is.

Thoughts?

Oh, one more thing. Is the Rigid Bar Mount tall enough to get over the tailgate?

Don't have the Alpha1 but my rack is Line-x too. The brackets for the size was too small and the next size up was too big. I ended up having to grind off some of the Line-x to get the bracket on snug. I think the bracket prices are ridiculous.

I actually use the tire strap to hold my rear dust light in place. Been on lots of runs and has never moved. It also gets the dust light a bit higher up and saved a few bucks versus buying a bracket.

Brilliant.

There’s a company called fourtreks that makes some pretty nice roll bar / tubing mounts for lights and fire extinguishers and GoPros and lots of other things. No affiliation but I do have one of their mounts on my Jeep that I used to mount an aftermarket CHMSL above my oversized spare tire.

Thanks a lot. I ended up ordering these by Rugged Ridge because they are slightly adjustable so they should fit over the Line-X:

If those don't work out I'll definitely swing by and pick up those mounts. They look significantly better than the one I ordered.

Looks like you probably got this taken care of, but we offer tube clamp mounts as well, for a much more reasonable price ($35 a pair). They come in the typical sizes, 1"-2" in .25" increments, but with the linex you would run into the same issue. there is another option we are looking into though as I've run into this problem several times before. Its an x clamp that looks like it may provide a little bit of wiggle room for textured coatings.

Thanks for looking out, but yeah, I got it taken care of. The mounts I bought worked out really well; simple and in that same reasonable price range. The variable size made it easy for the Line-X'd bar. An added bonus, I set the mount at a 45 degree and the light at a 45 degree and was able to get an extra inch of height to clear the tail gate.
