UMAX Rally 2+2 Lightbar
I bought a '22 UMAX Rally 2+2 last weekend and am looking to mount a lightbar to the front. I have purchased a 38" single row LED lightbar that "should" fit in the yellow marked area in the photo and still allow the windshield to close. My question is, what's the best recommended way to mount it to the plastic roof besides drilling holes in the roof? Any input would be appreciated as there is little information, forums, etc. that I have been able to find about these carts, especially when it comes to Add-Ons.

Re: UMAX Rally 2+2 Lightbar
Nice looking cart. I wanted to do the same to my 2022. The only way to do it seems to drill through the roof close to the front edge where the top is flat and thinner. I don't have a problem with drilling the roof. The problem I have is I don't like to see the exposed wire loom. I intended to run the wiring down the roof support tube but after hours of trying I realized the tube is blocked between the dash board area and the wheel well. It's a shame because I've seen it done on these carts and it looks good. I settled for dual lights on the brush guard. Good luck!

Re: UMAX Rally 2+2 Lightbar
Reliableone, I was able to mount my lightbar using self tapping screws into the roof. My roof uprights were not plugged, I just had to remove the windshield mounting bolts, and was then able to run the wiring down the upright (still need to insert a rubber grommet to keep from rubbing through the wire) then back to the battery. I connected the wiring from there to a 6-gang switch panel that I mounted next to the Key Switch on the lower dash. I went with the slim single row lightbar so I can still fold the windshield up.
My rear roof uprights were blocked which I was not happy about because I then had to surface mount the wiring for my rear chase light bar. Still working through this situation, but that bar is mounted and operational for the time being! |

Re: UMAX Rally 2+2 Lightbar
I used a cheap $65 ebay light bar mounted to my 360w solar panel roof.(electric cart).. Sorry for the rotated pic.. looks to be the same lightbar as the post above but mine is all white.. width was perfect.

Re: UMAX Rally 2+2 Lightbar
Looks great Smiley! I like that chase bar too, good job. I continued to work on mine and eventually made it down the roof support tube using baling wire as a lead. An idea I found on this forum. Do you have a pic of your dash. I would like to see your switch setup.

Re: UMAX Rally 2+2 Lightbar
Reliable thanks. I'm glad you finally were able to get down the upright! It was a royal PITA, caused many words to be used and more than a beer, but it was worth it! I will grab a pic of the dash tonight/this weekend and get it posted.

Re: UMAX Rally 2+2 Lightbar
Reliable, here’s my switch panel, it’s a little tight to the ignition but I didn’t want to cut the dash, I just used the factory pre-cut switch hole. This runs back to a fuse block (2nd pic) behind the battery (mines gas) and I mounted it using a longer screw in a factory hole.
