    Hello,
    I made the mistake of not looking into light bars when my father bought me mine. I installed it immediately and as i now know it covers my spare tire access. Go figure. Lol. Anyhow i was wondering if anyone knows of a split light bar with access? I have yet to find one in my searching. Or is there maybe a better placement for it?

    I have light bar on my truck with no issues blocking the spare tire access . I just mounted it under it with the double sided tape works great . But it depends on the light bar u get . I have a opt 7 redline light bar I got on Amazon.

    Mine covers the spare tire access hole, but it doesn't matter, because I mounted it with velcro !!!
