    I lost track thousands of dollars ago.
    Are the led mounts as far back as they can go? Also your light might be too large.

    My led bar is the same size as a bunch of other ones I looked at so I didnt think that would matter. And yes the brackets are back as far as they can go with the led bar installed and the front of the bracket still hits the grill along with the led bar. JLee IDK if you made 2 different kinds of the led bar brackets or not but the ones I have are slightly different from the ones on your site.

    If its hitting your grille its too deep of a grille or the brackets are not installed correctly. The only change thats been made to the LED mounts is its now one piece formed on a brake and not welded. So you say its as far back with the led instlled my question is are they all the way back? Have you relocated your trans cooler or horns? whats the led hitting in the back making it to where you cant go back more?

    I have the newer brackets cuz its one piece. My led bar was hitting my radiator support, so I made my deep dish Satoshi a not so deep Satoshi to give it more room and now it fits. Now my next problem is the mesh I have in my grill takes away a decent amount of light from my bar. I need to figure out what I can do to fix that

    I'm actually leaning towards a Grillcraft now, only because the mesh is so much thinner compared to Homer's awesome grills.

    The M3 mesh is best for this particular application. At least for the styles I have to offer.

    Homer what's the M3 look like? Can you send a pic and what would it cost for grill, triangles and lower valance?

    Anyone using this to mount lights behind a factory 2nd gen grille? If so, please post pics or let me know which lights and if any modifications were necessary.

    I want to keep my factory grille but need lights!

    Thanks!
