Bars for mounting lights - whatcha got?

Update:

Life has taken a different direction so my truck is up for sale. I do hope someone will develop a bolt on light bar for this truck.

Damn, were you a facebook fact checker?

Looks great. Don't see any mounting instructions or methods on the website. Not a very helpful post

There’s 4 bolts back side of the bumper i went to fabrication factory and they fabricated bracket and they installed and hold it in this 4 bolts.

I'm wondering if something can be mounted to the skid plate. I feel like drilling into the top of the skid plate would be better. I haven't measured it yet, but you could probably put a 20 or 22 inch light bar or a few pods on it. Would that be too low or would it not look good?

I Fabricated my own for 6” pods. IMO that would look bad, it would take away from curves of the front and your eyes would be drawn to it. Again my opinion. I’ve seen some pretty snazzy light bar mounts BEHIND the grill and at the top of the front windshield but never mounted on the skid. Good luck!

What I'd recommend doing- remove your grill and build an L shaped bracket from the bolts on the back side of the bumper- should be pretty straight forward.

This is what I ended up doing.

I posted this in a different thread. I ended up using the dog ear metal tabs coming off the bumper. They’re just under the rubber air flow piece. Made simple L brackets and they’re solid. Used the S8 20” BD light bar. The OnX6 is too deep. If you use a 30” S8 it looks to be to tight on each end between the back of the grill and shutters. Chose a spot lens and it works great. Also drilled into top of skid plate to mount the Squadron pros.

Running 2 10” Rigid E series Pro bars. Driver side is a spot beam and passenger is a flood beam. Still on the fence about keeping the amber covers on them or just running them when it’s foggy.
