    Here is my stealth mounted light bar. I must say those mounts were spot on perfect. I just dropped the mounts onto the crash bar bolts, and bolted the bar on to them and this is what it looked like immediately. Not even an adjustment was necessary. The fit is amazing! Excellent product Chris! THANK YOU!!

    The Cali Raised 3D optic that I also got from Chris. Very Very happy with the setup. I've already spotted several deer on my drive home from work taking backroads that I know I would have not seen with just the headlights. This is my first experience with an LED light bar, but it is pretty fantastic.

    Mojave do you also sell the apex 20 inch double row to match the 32 inch that you sell with your brackets. I have a BAMF bracket coming in and I'm gonna how a 20 inch mounted behind the upper part of my grille and thinking of doing your bracket with the 32 for the lower part stealth ? Also what would be the total cost for all plus to my house area code 29605 ? Thanks

    got mine installed yesterday afternoon. the mounts were super easy to install. I need to take the bumper cover back off to trim more of the plastic and adjust the positioning of the light bar but it'll work for now (It was getting dark and I was tired). Love having the extra light!

    Honestly, I have a lot of projects going on right now and it would be hard. If someone is willing to come by my place then I can fit it in. But to start in a new market and all the work it entails finding test trucks and everything, it's kind of far out for me right now... I am not opposed to doing it. It is just hard if I have to do all the leg work...

    So the big difference between the two is flood lighting. If you want a spot only, then there is not any noticeable interference with the Stealth mount, it shines out just fine and light up at a distance great. Now if you are wanting the flood lighting from say a 3D spot/flood combo LED then you will lose a little bit of flood lighting, but not a lot. You basically lose the real wide flooding because the LED is set back a 1.5" behind the grill. But you still get a good amount and people have had nothing but great feedback on the amount of light they get from the Stealth location. With the Flush style, there is no interference with the flood beam.

    It is really all about use. If you are doing general offroading, trails, fire roads, crappy weather then the flood is equally important. If the desired use is more for high speed stuff then the flood lighting isn't really required as much and it's not a big deal and you want to focus on the best spot beam you can get.

    These pics should give you an idea. 3D spot/flood combo mounted in the Stealth position. Still great flood lighting.
