HD Front Lighting, Mount, and Switching Planning - Non-Bison OEM Bumper

[GATORB8]

@Leonidas Thanks for sharing, I really like the look without the RCR cover. If I don't like the look once I get the Auxbeam, I may return and grab that one.

Hi,
I cut in 2 flush mount lights into the bumper and also mounted a light bar behind the grill. The mounting of the light bar was straight forward by installing 2 nut-certs (One hole was a factory hole and I drilled the other) into the Core Support horizontal bracket to mount the "L" brackets for the lightbar. I also removed the lower 2 radiator louvers to add the needed clearance which are easy to pull out without damaging anything. It looks very stock at first glance.

I did the flush mount lights in the rear bumper too along with rear bumper step lights and Bed Lights-

Blessings

Grabbed a pair of Nacho Grande SAEs having Northridge price match ARB's black Friday sale, also got a free deflator out of the deal.

GODZ is out of business so SOL there. Once I get the lights, I'll be able to start mocking up the mounting system.

I don’t have the active grill shutters on mine so I used that crossmember to mount 2 Rigid E Series 10” bars in that spot. 1 is a Flood pattern on the passenger side and the on on the driver side is a spot pattern. They’re centered in the lowest section of the grill openings and wired into my upfitter 1 and 2 switches below the radio. I also have a set of Rigid D series flood cubes mounted off the bottom of the leaf hangers in the rear that are triggered by the reverse lights or I can manually turn them on with switch 4 on the upfitter switch.

Where do you put the switch? any pics of switch?

An update for everyone, unfortunately the Nachos and the switch kit have been sitting on the work bench for a couple months. Fortunately, during that time I was introduced to the owner of Off Road Concepts when they recently relocated to NC. I'll post renderings if he gives me permission, but we should have a quality US made light mount bar option very soon.

here’s the renderings, mock up has been measured and test fit on my buddy’s 25 3500 sierra.

Yeah, I really like his bar end cap/gusset design.

They design in house and are made in the USA. These won't be cheapo Chinese parts. I told him we (24+ HD truck owners) aren't cheap asses but I told him no one would buy them at the current competitions price (~$900 shipped).

Yeah the lights some are spendy, so add in labor and materials and it adds up fast.

That's exactly what I want for my 1500! Do they have a website?

They do, but this is a bit of a one off project. They build Jeep bumpers, I got him drunk after a Jeep event and convinced him to do this, lol. If this one sells, I'm sure he'll be interested in expanding similar offerings.
