    Thinking of getting in on this new group buy but I have a concern. I have a 2014 and my horns are mounted where it looks like your bar will hit them. Do you know if this will work? I am not sure if the 2014 and 2013 have the same set up or not.

    Thanks.

    FYI, I installed my BAMF lightbar behind my '13 grill and it does take some effort but you can relocate the horns. The only problem I ran up against was the slit for the light bar was too narrow for the screw that came on my LED light bar. I had to grind the slits to make them fit. If you get this kit, make sure that it fits before it's powdercoated or else you'll just be grinding it off.

    The LED mounts have been modified to fit the Chinese lights it's now wider. Those with the smaller mounting bolts will not have to get washers but no more grinding is needed for the bigger bolts.

    Has anyone mounted this with LED's behind HomerTaco's raptor grill?
    I can't find anyone who has done so. Was hoping to find an example to see if the grill will block too much light o be worthwhile.
    I was thinking of trying out a pair of single row 20" one above and one below the lettering.
    Any thoughts or suggestions that may work better?

    I've seen a few guys running them but i couldn't tell you who. fine mesh will block some light but I don't think it would be that noticeable unless you had one on the bumper and switched between the two checking output.

    What's the biggest bar you can run with this setup? And also do you have a idea when the led mounts will be back in stock? Thanks

    20" mounting from the sides but I've seen 30" bars mounted if they have mounts on the bottom of the light. The LED brackets will be back in stock the beginning of February.

    I have a stock 2014 Limited. Would this behind the grill setup work on the stock grill?
