Someone on here posted their rigid 20 in light bar they installed right under the Ford emblem on the inside portion of the grill.

I really liked the look, but if I recall correctly you have to fabricate your own bracket for this mount location.

Fabricate is such a fancy word for bolting a few L brackets together.

You get what you pay for. The Cree bars are cheaper but wont give you quite as good output.

Looks like a 20" may fit behind the front bumper with some work. The actual opening is just over 19", just need to find the correct mounting place....I see some holes and some flat metal excursions that may make a great mounting point.


BTW, this is how your front plate is held in place...pretty easy to remove (when plate is not in place).

20" Rigid Light Bar install - Cut out plastic insert - kinda a pain. Drilled into the face of the frame mount. Used Rigid mounts and bolted up. Used door trim on plastic insert to make it a little more clean look.
