Default LED light bar

Anybody ever put a light bar in the bumper open

space? Wondering if it'll block the air flow going to my radiator.

I have one in mine and I haven't had a problem with it at all.

Lots of people put them there. I'm not a fan because it blocks the transmission cooler.

Nice. What size is that? Mine is a 22 inch which would take up most of the space.

Mine is a 15”, I do believe a 22” will fit though. You can look up and see what sizes will fit.

I have a 20" bar. I haven't towed anything since installing, but haven't had a problem. Been thinking of upgrading the trans cooler and locating it up higher toward the main grille.

Always wanted to put a light bar there, but have to have a front plate in my area. Just begging to get pulled over without one.

I do. I've had it for over 4 years. No issues with trans cooling, I tow my boat every other weekend and many long trips.
I've had the transmission checked twice and flushed once since I started towing the boat two years ago.
Transmission is in great health according to the techs.

It's a 24" from Amazon.

I'm in AZ now, only been here 6 months, but OR required a front plate too. Since I had a removable winch, I installed a front mount hitch and mounted my front plate to it when I wasn't winching.
