Default 40" Light Bar Behind The Grille..

Ok people. I know I'm not the first to plan this, and I also know that I won't be the first to actually do it. So what I'm looking for here is someone who has. And any tips or tricks for mounting that they can offer! So if you've done the 40 behind the grille, or know someone who has, post up your tips or links! Thanks in advance!!

Also, here's a quick mockup. Please ignore that it's crooked. Lol

it doesn't look crooked... it literally looks like it is not straight. Looks bent. I'm still looking at it trying to understand why it looks like that.

Weird... It does look bent. I'm sure it wasn't bent in person. But maybe i should double check when I get home. Lol. Silly cameras.

It's an optical illusion due to the bumper being concave. Hold something over the bumper and it looks perfectly straight.

It's also a couple of inches lower on the left/higher on the right.

Yes, as I mentioned in my first post, it's crooked. Just hanging out, leaning on stuff. As far as mounting, I've received some pics from member [MENTION=88735]jimmyk[/MENTION] and should have the bar mounted in no time when I finally make it home

So have you mounted it yet? I plan on putting a 30" or 40" behind my grille and am curious how you're going to mount it, because some asshat stole the 20" off of my bullbar...

Oops! Forgot about this thread. I did indeed get it mounted. Along with a 30", and a new grille No pics of how it's mounted at the moment, but I'll snap some when I get home.
