I just got my light bar last week and ordered my switches this week. Mine is going behind my grill and have not decided exactly how I am going to do it but will be working on it in the next couple weeks. The one that I got is a 30 inch. I looked a little last night and possibility for mounting it will be the bolts behind the grill bumpers. Ill keep you updated.

I used an angle iron that was 1"×1". Used the mounting spots for the headlights. The lower mounting point

Does your grill block a lot of the usable light or do you still see a big improvement? Mum deciding between behind the grill or a smaller bar in the bumper.

I have a aftermarket mess grill so alot of light get through. I sell the bars so I plan on adding a 20" in the lower opening aswell.
