Not me personally. Most of these companies are just chinese rebranded junk. Even the AuxBeam we sell is a cheaper line... however we only sell their 5D lights, since those are higher quality then the other lights they have.

I dunno... it'll work for you, but you'll probably get moisture in the lens like most of these bars.

You really have to pay for a quality bar if you want to avoid getting moisture (or buy a bar that is similar to the 5D version from AuxBeam which have a pressure relief valve)

We sell a 30" grill mount for your truck, but we don't have a 30" single row (closest we have is the 32" single row, 5D version).

Sooo it'll probably work for you as I said but like most of these cheaper bars, you'll get moisture in there eventually...

If it was me... i'd go for the 32" one and the 30" brackets and then just modify the brackets (if you need to) to fit. We're only talking 2" afterall so it'll probably bend a bit or just cut off 1" on each side of the bracket.

Will the 32" AuxBeam single row light bar fit in the same location as JDMToy listed in OP's post?

Not sure... it might, we've never tried the single rows. Most folks go for a double row and just drill holes themselves for the included mounts.

I've never seen anybody use the grill MOUNTING kit, as I said, it's not really needed since you can just drill your own holes which makes it fit perfect then. No need to worry about 3rd party brackets to fit, use the included mounting gear that comes with the bar.

I've had friends have good luck buying the cheap-o lights, taking them apart and siliconing the F*ck out of it. But at the end of the day you are better of going with better lights

I got the 20" light bar from a few months ago. Came with a cheap wiring harness, so I bought a better one off of Amazon, but other than that...had good instructions and works and looks great.

Little bit more money but a much better kit.

Or just the lower brackets

Amazon has brackets cheaper then you can piece together a kit with a much better light bar than the one from JDM toy

That kit is pretty badass. Might have to think about getting that one!

Nice option if you don't find cutting up your grille with a sawzall. I for one don't want to.
I'm looking for a bolt on system.
Thanks though.

Those are the same exact mounts we have on the site... they all come from the same places overseas to be honest. RC just puts their name on it, the place we buy from puts their name on theres, etc...
