How do I mount pod lights to my Jeep JL or Gladiator cowl?

The Rock Ready Offroad Cowl Light Mounts provide a clean and incredibly strong solution for adding auxiliary lighting to your Jeep. Positioned at the base of the windshield, these mounts improve both forward and side visibility without obstructing your view. Unlike mass-produced brackets, these are designed for serious off-roaders who want a low-profile, factory-style appearance that can handle the vibration of the trail.

Why is 1/8 inch aluminum better than steel for light mounts?

We build our cowl mounts from premium 1/8 inch thick aluminum because it offers the perfect balance of strength and weight. Aluminum is naturally rust-proof, ensuring that your mounts won't bleed corrosion onto your Jeep's paint over time. The thickness of the material is critical for eliminating the light flicker and vibration often found in thinner steel brackets, keeping your beams steady even when navigating rough terrain.

• Made in the USA from 1/8 inch thick high grade aluminum
• Lightweight and completely corrosion resistant
• Vibration resistant design for steady light output
• Available in textured black powder coat or raw aluminum finish
• Fits up to four total LED pods using the dual mounting points

Will these cowl mounts fit my Jeep JL or Gladiator?

This mounting system is engineered for a perfect bolt-on fit using existing factory mounting locations. There is no drilling or permanent modification required to your vehicle. These mounts are designed specifically for the current generation Jeep platforms, ensuring they follow the body lines of your cowl precisely.

Can I upgrade these mounts to support a full light bar?

These cowl mounts are the foundation of our modular lighting system. If you decide you want to run a 50 inch light bar in the future, you do not need to start over. You can simply add our A-pillar extensions to these brackets at any time.
