gasket and i put extra silicone around the bolts as extra precaution. If people can drill holes and install lights on the hull of a boat you dont have to worry about light bar mounts causing leaks.... Cab lights are like 3 holes per light so like 15 holes. Unless of course the installation is not up to par. Which if your prepared to drill holes in the roof you should know how to seal it properly haha.

Did you have to get under the matting of the roof when you drilled the holes to bolt the light mounts down or were they self taping screws? Just tryn to get a good idea what I'm in store for when my mounts come in and does the hardware that you mentioned come with the mounts that u got from nfab?

bolts yes, i pulled the headliner out completely. ( not hard) the nfab mounts come with hardware but i had cut them off after the bolts were tight so they didn't disturb my headliner, simple stuff, these light bars arnt plug and play installations if you plan on doing a curved bar, takes awhile to get everything right.

i wouldn't say its hard, but you'll want a few set of hands because its hard to mock it up by yourself to get where you want, i pre wired the switch and took my head liner out the day before, you can do that before it comes it so you'll have a head start. Headliner is easy just take your time haha.

Yeah it sounds like I'm just going to pay the money to have trick trucks, the company that I had install my lift, to put it on for me. I just don't have the time to do it and mess with it myself between being a teacher and an athletic director at the school I teach at and making sure I get plenty of time to get in the woods for hunting I'm just not making a lot of time to have to worry about pulling the headliner, drill in the right holes,mounting it correctly and wiring
