101 ways to mount your Rigids! - Presented by TAP Auto and goneFXcrazy

Unique & Different
Thought I would add what I did for my reverse lights. I did have Duallys mounted to rear shackles in flood version. Plenty bright but not much spread of light and I didn't like them hanging from the bottom. I have since cut into my bumper and flush mounted diffused SRQ2 lights. Yes, I'm the same idiot who cut my 2013 FX4 grill to add the SR 30" bar on the top of the grill posted earlier in this post. I also took the Duallys I previously had for reverse lights and mounted in my factory fog lights. (don't have a pic of this but everyone has seen these mounted like this)
How ya been doing? Your set up is nice. Good looking truck too.

Just the thread I was looking for! Great thread gonefxcrazy, giving me all sorts of ideas... I was actually trying to figure out what kind of light bar I could put in the front bumper (didn't want to block the flow to the IC for my EB) - now I know. The 20" SR will be perfect. And that curved Rigid roof bar is calling my name.. good heavens I don't even want to know what that things costs!

Found something to do with my SRQ-2 lights --Hood Mount
So I bought a pair of driving SRQ-2 lights for my Mustang fogs. Turns out they are way to bright and there is no way I can run them on the street as fogs, at least not with traffic around.
So, I didn't want a pair of Rigid's just sitting in the garage.
I looked at cutting into the front bumper or facia to mount them but wanted them up higher to compliment my SR-30 grill mounted bar.
I decided to go with a pair of hood mounts and found a company, TexasMotorWorx, which makes a set like the Outlaw brand. Being that they are local I try and keep cash in the state where possible.
These mount on to the trucks existing hinge mounts as you have seen others post on here. I know most have done D series lights here but I wanted something more sleek and not so, well, square.
These lower profile SRQ-2 fit the bill perfectly.
I have them pointed slightly outward on each side.
I can confirm there is no wind noise at speed and negligible reflection off the hood, they work better than I anticipated.
Now when I hit my brights I get a strong beam in the center from the SR-30 LED bar and now I can see great on the shoulders left and right from the SRQ-2 lights.
What do you think?
I'll work on some night shots too but didn't have my phone with me when I tested them. With these 3 Rigid lights up front I can see anything and everything on the back roads. Might not keep me from smashing a deer but at least I will get a good look at the deer before I hit him.

Believe it or not I have not tried it out yet...except in the driveway. I was going to take it up to the hunt club this weekend and ride the roads to check things out....but now the truck is in the shop for a PCM issue. CRAP!!! When I get it back I will get some pics at night, but the Amber looks pretty sweet.
