    Mine is behind the lower grille section. In the instructions, it says to leave our the air deflectors iirc. It might be doable, but would be a fair amount of cutting/fitting to get it right for such a small gain in air. I was actually surprised to see them in there when I removed the grille.

    I did cut my air deflectors, yes. Not cutting was in reference to another member saying the lower bumper needed to be cut to make it fit - should of clarified that.

    I'm actually selling mine with the caliraised brackets. Only selling because I got a new cbi front bumper and it can only fit a 20". The only thing you will need is a harness/switch. I'm most likely going to get a slim 20" auxbeam to replace it.

    $100

    I know this is very old, but correct me if I'm wrong, the harness with the bar has 3 wires, and one of those can go to the switch for it to be on all the time, but if you wanted the switch to light up only when the headlights are on then the power for that light in switch would have to come from another source? I would only want the switch lit up when the headlights are turned on and I know basically nothing about wiring. trying to learn.

    Talked me into it. Handy that the Cali-Raised brackets were also available on Amazon. $150 all together seems like a screaming deal if it works.
    I plan to add silicone before install.

    I’ve seen mixed reviews for Auxbeam, but their products are inexpensive and won’t hurt too bad if it doesn’t work out. Looks like they are local too, in Fontana, CA.

    Yeah not a lot of reviews found but I did one on YouTube dude said it was good lightbar. I think the one I posted is just the updated version of the OPs
