Overview
The Rugged Ridge A-Pillar Light Mount, part number 11232.31, is a pair of heavy-duty steel brackets for mounting auxiliary lights to the A-pillar of a 2007-2018 Jeep Wrangler JK. The mounts use the JK’s existing mounting bolt holes on the lower windshield mount, so installation needs no drilling or cutting.
The textured black brackets give auxiliary off-road lights a mounting point on the A-pillar, which is a windshield hinge style of mount.
Key features
- Heavy-duty steel construction
- Textured black finish
- Pair of A-pillar light mounts
- Attaches to the lower windshield mount using the JK’s existing bolt holes
- No drilling or cutting required
- Windshield hinge mounting type
Mounting and aiming
An A-pillar light puts the beam up and forward, which helps on rocky climbs and tight trail edges. Mounts in this position carry the weight of the light at the windshield frame, so the light should stay modest in size and the bolts should be checked regularly. Set the aim with the vehicle parked on level ground so the beam lines up with the trail you plan to run.
Before adding lights, think about how the mount will hold up on rough trails. Vibration and bumps can slowly loosen fasteners, so check them after the first few runs. Keep the wiring clear of the wipers and the windshield seal, and route it so the harness does not pull on the mount when you open the windshield.
- Set aim on level ground
- Recheck mount bolts after early trail runs
- Keep wiring clear of wipers and seals
- Choose lights with a modest weight
