    I bought a 30" bar from OKLEDLIGHTS.
    I want my bar to be placed exactly like the OP has it mounted flush in the valance opening.

    Does anybody know how high the angle iron has to be raised with washers to place it in the center of the opening?

    How about using something like these: instead of angle iron. It looks like the 30" bar's mounting feet are right above the crash beam's supports. Would it be more flimsy this way?

    How sturdy are the LED bars that are mounted in the bumper? Will they hold up to some off-roding and stuff? I'm looking to do this just after Xmas.

    Just do not take this bar apart to put backlighting in(see link in my sig), the screws tend to strip out on it.

    I personally haven't tried to do this lmao, so I shouldn't be talking, BUT I have the 12volt lithium dewalt impact driver and it is COMPACT. so it fits in tiny place great, it looked like I didn't need to remove it. I'll either use a socket in the driver or a slight bend attachment and some self tap screws. Even though these are "self-tapping" I use the compact dewalt 12v drill with stubby drill bits to make pilot holes.
