I finally figured out where to mount my light bar. After an hour or two of looking for the perfect spot I found a good place on top of the inter-cooler. I took the push pins out holding the front inter-cooler shield on and put in the allen head bolts that came with the light bar. The nuts fit perfectly inside the inter-cooler bracket so no wrench is needed to hold them when you tighten them down. Since it was basically impossible to get the nuts on with the front shield in place I notched the holes so I could slide it in place after I put the bolts through. The brackets are machine shed door end caps for the steel tracks. They were 1.99 a piece from the local Theisens...kindof of a lot of money but I have limited resources for metal on a Sunday. I bent one half of the brackets straight and now the light lines up perfectly with the lower hole in the grille. Eventually I'll get some shorter bolts so I don't need all the washers and I'll probably plastidip the brackets so you can't see them.

I had a tire shop order them from west coast accessories. They were a little bit expensive but I knew they were a good brand and if I had any fitment issues they would take care of it.

Mounted up the switches for the duallys and front light bar. Can barely tell they are there if you aren't looking for them. I also got some led bars for bed lights.
