    Bumper is on, Cali raised light bar is in. You have about 1/4” on each side of the bar. So I used some washers to fix that.

    Those things are still too expensive. A 30" light bar shouldn't be more than $100.

    Mmmmmmmm, I guess that all depends on if you want quality (light output, lumens, etc.) Some would say that the the price of the Diode Dynamics is cheap, other’s would say expensive. Matter of opinion and budget at the end of the day.

    I don't think most people here are running the Bjaj 500.

    I have cheap knockoff side shooters for ditch lights. They put out plenty of light.

    Yeah I hear you man. I have some Cali Raised ditch lights. They’re good for what they are. However, I wish I spent some more and got some better output lights. Again it’s subjective. Some people pay for quality and assembly. Buy once cry once.

    I'm fine paying for quality, but I don't see a difference between what I have and a $200 pod.

    I'd rather spend the other $1000 I would spend buying pods on a Warn winch.

    Ok. That’s good. Again, it’s still opinionated.

    How long did the install of the bumper, winch, and light bar take? I just purchased this bumper, a Smittybilt X20 10K winch, and Cali Raised LED 32" Slim Single Row Amber light bar.

    Not long, maybe 3 hours. Everything is pretty straight forward. The biggest issue is your cable lengths for the winch, I ordered some custom ones to reach my battery and a Solenoid relocation bracket from tandem offroad.

    Does the Cali fit flush in the light bar channel?

    Yeah, the Cali bar sits all the way touching the front. Just 1/4” on each side from the tabs. Use a few washers with no issues.

    Hey there! Nice set up!
    i just installed my covert bumper and tried using my existing 32” cali raised lightbar and it didn’t fit. Based on your post, it seems like it should have clear the mounting space with room.25” to spare?
    Was it simple to install the light bar?
