Default 18-20 Mounts for light bar behind grill

Has anyone fab'd up some mounts to mount a light bar behind the grill on the 18-20 models? I've seen pics of light bars behind the grill but no other pics showing the mounts or how they mounted them.

I did mine behind the lower grill. Made some L brackets and drilled through the bumper plate on the frame to mount these BD XL linkable's.

Take a look at the installation instructions for Baja Design's 447660; they are on their web page. Note that they just barely fit between the grille and the grille shutters. Also, think about how you are going to aim the lights. It sucks to put the whole thing together and then find out that you have to disassemble to aim them.

I like the look of a hidden LED bar but TGP has a good point. I think if I was going to mount a bar I'd use something like the barracade CSD. I like the looks.

those are the baja designs xl linkable lights, so luckily I was able to mount it as one piece. I just made some 90 degree brackets and drilled through the bumper plate
