    Is it possible to mount a grill light bar and a hidden winch at the same time, it is it one or the other.

    It would depend just where you want to mount your light bar .

    The winch bumper pretty much mandates where the Winch is going to be mounted

    Also depends what restrictions your state might have on lights

    At least on mine (2nd gen) there is not room to put a light bar in the lower grille due to the hidden winch mount.

    Those Squadron Pros put out more light than most "budget" china LED bars like the one I replaced. You might be happier than you think running this setup
