    could you do a quick write up on the led bar?
    did you have to cut the little grill inserts in order to put the led bar there?

    I purchased the Ridged light bar mounts and then bought the LED bar from OKLED light bars. Literally brought it to my local offroad shop and they said they could install everything for $40 w/ all switching and wiring. I literally let them handle it all! Turned out so great!

    I used this one http://www.rigidindustries.com/mounting-options/40156

    It's made for a single row led bar but I just bolted on the 30" double row, worked perfectly
