Thanks buddy, but I honestly think It adds character. I hit a metal fence going 45, and thats all that happened. I have since then painted the bumper black, took off the bumper skirt, and got new black headlights.

I was also thinking about replacing the Ranch Hand bumper thats damaged with this one.

You'd be able to hit anything with that bumper and still look ok. They have a picture some where of someone with a stealth hitting the back of a car and the car is all smashed up but the bumper is still good.

I think the Mesh Grill is a Grillcraft.

The Bumper Cover is from Street Scene.

They can both be purchased in the same place from CarID.

I like the mesh grille. Is it a direct bolt on?

I have a question as to how the cubes were attached to the frame. Unfortunately, the black liner hides the mount. Can someone tell me how the light was mounted? I have a 2012 and I am not sure how to go about it.

Do you drill a hole through the top bar to get to the bottom bar?

Thanks.

Yup. Drill through top to get to bottom. Use a small flat piece of steel to extend the mount towards, bolt the light to that flat piece.

I got a 10" SR2 combo for christmas from the inlaws. That's pretty cool.

Got it mounted up by installing a piece of angle aluminum and bolted it using the grill support bolts in the middle along the bottom rail. Only trouble was that remote switch wiring is just about at the maximum extent from the battery so I can't really run the wiring as well as I'd like under the hood. Any ideas on that, maybe extend the remote switch wiring harness to make more slack?


The spot beam in the center of this little light is surprisingly far reaching. The flood capacity of the light may be hampered a little with it behind the grill mesh, but definitely the spot provides further and brighter light than the stock high beams.

Now plotting to replace my fogs with D2's...
