So I decided to try and put an LED light bar behind the grille of my '13 stx 4x4... So here is what I did:

Cut a metal unistrut to 32"

Brought 2 "L" metal corner braces from Home Depot, drilled out the holes to fit larger bolts

Used 4, 14mm bolts

So it did this as a proof of concept, so I still need to trim, drill a smaller hole to stabilize the side braces, wire the light up to the battery, run a switch to the cab and spray some undercoat of the whole assembly. Oh, and of course a bigger Light Bar!

Let me know what you guys and gals think! Here are some pics:

"UniStrut" is the word/name you're looking for.
