Want to mod my Grill.

Im thinking of cutting out the center of the stock grill to put in driving lights in the middle side by side. I was gonna use some cheap hellas becuz you can pick those up at an Autozone for like 80 bucks. I was wondering if anyone has done it and if they have any ideas on a easier light to mount inside the grill or any tricks on how to do it.

 

simple bolts nuts and washers. The holes in the radiator support are already there.

I can walk you through it if you need help.

 

Finished product with Grillcraft grill.

Nice.. would it be super stupid to run lights with the stock grill on? would it be way too much of blockage?

 

tons of people run lights in there, mine are mounted to the grill (not the best option)...i wouldn't suggest leaving your grill wide open though, one well placed rock and your radiator is done.

angle iron behind my grill....still need to paint the bar

 

There are some pictures of the brackets in my picture/profile area for the bracket set up.

Knight, didnt you find that the lights were kinda springy or shook alot because the thin front grill crossbar? I tried mine like that but had no luck. Had to use angle iron.
