    I got an 04 and wanting to mount a 30" in the lower bumper and pods to replace the turn signal lights. Any suggestions on how to mount?

    Beat me to it:)

    30" is an easier install. Just gotta look at how others have done it and figure it out for yourself depending on which bar you get and what needs done to make it sit flush. From my understanding to get the 30" to sit flush, you'll need to make some kinda brackets mounted to the crash bar. Whether it be a simple cheap L bracket, or beam extending the entire length from crash bar to crash bar. The turn signal area is not an easy task. I have 8" bars (shown in that thread) and took a lot of creativity to fit in there. Couple guys have put pairs of pods in there but don't recall their install method. Pretty much any way you do it in the turn signal area will require some kind of additional custom brackets and most likely cutting out the plastic behind.

    thanks man! Yeah I just order a 30" from Trux Tech and it came with 4 free pods so I figured I might as well put some use to them and try to figure out how to make them into fogs.
