    No video. I sent the Flush ones out for testing and didn't do it locally. Putting the mounts on is very easy. You remove 3 nuts on each side, slide the mounts over the factory bumper studs, then put the nuts back on.

    The harder part of the Flush is cutting out the grill. You will need to cut out the fins of the grill along with doing a little trimming near the mounts to get everything fitting perfect. The work is easily accomplished with a dremel but it takes patients and you will need to take the LED in and out a couple times if you go slow and want it to fit right. When you do the Flush mount, that is definitely the "mod" part and will result in a realy good looking duel row setup!

    If I get my hands on one to do locally I will absolutely make a video!

    does turning tires to black wall out count? How bout added snug top rebel.
    Hello, I just wanted to let you guys know I got a set off of Chris and did the install today.

    First, Chris is an awesome guy! He's one of the few people that can juggle career, family, and have the patience, desire and aptitude to create a bulletproof part that mixes form and function. Nobody should have any second thoughts of doing business with Chris. These are the smallest things I've seen of Chris's handiwork, he has built bumpers, sliders, skids, and rebuilt others not so quality products, all with a professional shops quality! These brackets are no exception, they fit perfectly, and they look great even though they'll never be seen.

    The install of the brackets is super easy, just a little cramped space, but all the nuts are easily accessible. The bracket is slotted so that after you've installed the light bar you can move the bracket to get the light bar exactly where you want it, also the slot the light bar attaches to is slotted which allows for a large range of adjustment. I was able to get the light bar adjusted to my liking and the center horizontal line of the light at lines up dead center with the horizontal line of the lower grille.
    The pictures he posted of the night shots were from my truck, if anyone would like a better picture of something, or has a question about the bracket or light, please ask.

    You ever think about doing mounts for 2 smaller lights? A lot of people have to run a licence plate and it would be cool to do 2 6" or 9" lights on either side of the plate

    image.jpg image.jpg Here's the Cali Raised LED 4d 31.5" light bar. It is EXTREMELY bright at night. Even tho it says that this bar is spot only it throws so much light that it does a pretty good job lighting up the sides as well.

    The 4d light bar has lil projectors on each led that (I guess) help amplify the light that is created. One of these days I will but a lift is more of a priority for me right now lol.

    Yes it is. I still cut out the slats in the grill tho. Makes it easier to clean off after a day of wheeling.

    Thanks for the amazing review Diago!!! Really appreciate the great words.

    I am considering a design for this, I am also working license plate relocation mounts. Moving the plate is cheaper and will allow for more light, so I am leaning that way because it's win/win!

    Thank you for sharing some 4D pics and feedback!!!

    I hear you and most people just put there plates up higher but I don't like the way they look that high. Plus having the 2 lights on the sides would be very stealthy.

    I agree and I plan on tackling this in February. Just have a lot of irons in the fire right now. Thanks for the suggestion!

    Stealth requires zero cutting and install is very straight forward. Same work I described above to install the mount, then you install the bar. I include instructions with my mounts that will help you in detail!

    Where would your license plate bracket be located on the front of the truck?

    Most guys move them up. Putting the bottom holes of the plate in the bumper hole that were holding the top holes of the plate. I would like to make a way to move it up, but just not that far up. It is a good temp fix though for now if you are interested.

    I moved my plate and mounted it below where the light bar is in the lower bumper. It's very easy to get some pointed large threaded bolts/screws and mount it into the plastic. Just takes a lil bit of elbow grease. :thumbsup:

    The sides of the road were a little bit brighter than shown in the pic with the light bar on. (Camera did the best it could to pick up the light from the light bar)
