I really like how your light bar is in the grille! How did you do that?

Thanks! I just mounted it to the support back behind the grill like lots of people mount their off road lights to. I just had to trim a little bit back there and it was a tight squeeze but the 32" fits perfect back there now.

Where did you have to trim? And did you just take the grille off?

Yes and I trimmed the vertical support for a little more room to squeeze it in back there. Nothing bad.

Well, if you have some REALLY strong double back tape, that should work, or a lot of duct tape.

Sounds like a plan! It will definitely be a purchase with the money left over from my leveling kit, tires and wheels!

Well I've got a 40" led lightbar mounted on the top of my pickup, just drilled a hole in the top and hit it with an impact. No leaks, and once I get my roof rack built I'm going to seal the holes and mount it to the roof rack, with a pair of Amber rigid duallys on each side. There are a couple of lightbar mounts that clamp to the inside of your cab, between the door and cab, but I'm not sure about fitment.

You ever mount this? I just bought a 50 inch and I plan on mounting it next Friday. Just curious to what you came up with? I'm going to fab up my own brackets
