    yeah give us a tech tip on your grill light support.
    i want to put something...probably lights..behind mine at some point.

    i also want to put machine guns or harpoons in the bumper light holes on my lightless base model, but that's another mod for another day. :D

    Yep, I am going back to stock...I really need more light up front. I spend a lot time in the Sequoia Mountains and Dunes and more light is always better. I will eventually go back to a "less bulky" N-Fab Light Bar(compared to the Randy Ellis Light Bar) with 4 Driving Lights.
