Light Bar Mounting Options

[JaredW]

Has anyone found a clean way to mount a light bar out front with a non-Bison front bumper. I've seen some behind the grill but I think you lose too much light output doing that. I already have ditch lights and some small pods in the 5 grill openings across the bottom.

Just looking for a way to put some more light out front on the back roads and try to avoid all the deer!

There is a few ideas in this thread:

Bars for mounting lights - whatcha got?

I'll say that I'm finding the ZR2 headlights to be better than expected. However, when you're well off the beaten path and at night, som extra exterior illumination is welcome. So I'm searching for some solutions to mount up some front-facing lights for off-road night driving. I have a ten-inch...

Thanks!

I think I may try a curved bar and magnetic mounts on the front bumper to see if I can get the output I'm hunting for. I want to be sure before I start fabricating a bracket or drilling into the bumper to mount anything.

I may try and look into some sort of bracket to put something in between the tow hooks.

Let us know if what you come up with

I like the way this bar was made: https://www.chevyzr2.com/threads/silverado-zr2-overland-build.1324/#post-19299

The unfortunate thing about the ZR2 is that it’s such a small demographic, and split between bison and non, that there isn’t much aftermarket support.

Will do!

Yeah that's hefty for sure!

I know! There are at least some behind the grill mounts that would work but I just feel like you lose so much of the light from our grill design.
