Installation and Review of Sky Manufacturing’s Samurai Light Tabs.

Editor: Eric Bewley

Springfield, OR -Sky Manufacturing and Off-road Design has provided Samurai enthusiasts with another fine product. Samurai Light tabs are designed to take the place of the factory windshield brackets allowing the owner to attach two off-road lights in this optimal place. We received the windshield light tab install kit via USPS. The kit contained two light tabs, 6 stainless steel socket head bolts and washers, installation instructions, and decals. The parts are laser cut and jig welded. Overall, our impressions of the kit were favorable with the exception of some welding splash and a finish suitable for metal protection not presentation that led us to repaint the brackets before installation.

The following installation steps will illustrate an easy install and a great finished product. If you run at the dunes, at night, or just want a little extra light. The Sky Manufaturing Samurai Light tabs make an excellent choice.
