Construction & Design

The SS5 4-Pod CrossLink Lightbar Kit features a robust design built to endure the demands of off-road use. The brackets are precision CAD-designed and CNC-machined from aircraft-grade aluminum, providing extreme rigidity and corrosion resistance. The single-piece aluminum link maintains structural integrity while allowing adjustable configurations to fit your vehicle’s grille contour perfectly.

Each LED pod is housed in a durable casing engineered to resist impacts, moisture, and vibration. The custom TIR optics enhance light output efficiency, delivering a powerful and focused beam that improves nighttime visibility without excessive glare.

Installation & Fitment

Installation is straightforward with the included application-specific brackets that bolt directly to factory mounting points on the Jeep Wrangler JL (2018–2026) and Gladiator JT (2020–2024). Some modification is required, as the existing mounting holes must be drilled out slightly larger to secure the brackets properly. The kit includes a dedicated wiring harness that integrates with your vehicle’s factory auxiliary switch bank, allowing easy control without additional programming or controllers.
