Mine looks the same

I used the angle steel method personally as it was easier and more cost effective for me at least. The only downside to this is that the bar sits very close to the sensor.

 

Thats a very good write up I might have to do that one. Pretty easy for me since I work in a metal fab shop. Thanks for the link bro.

Where did you mount it at on the sides? Can't really tell from the pics

 

If you undo the tabs at the top of your core support holding the splash guard/rubber mat in place you will see two brackets on either side where your headlamp assemblies bolt up. Just pull out those bolts and drill the bar out so you can bolt the bar up to match those brackets.
All my pics came out like crap so all I can do is try to describe it.

 

Wow. That looks, really, really good. I never thought of this!

Got me wondering too are your grilles plastic.?
I’ve run daylighters before on my ranger and they get awful hot not sure if there hot enough to melt the grille but it would be a hell of a mess

 

Thats how ,mine is bolted on. I ended up getting longer bolts at Lowe's.

All '04+ grilles are plastic. Ive never noticed the lights getting that hot but usually I dont have them on very long since I turn them off when another vehicle is coming my way. Theyre like high beams.

 

had some old angle iron laying around and came up with this !!
