    I am really interested in adding a 30" or 32" light bar in the lower black plastic area. Can anyone post some pictures of their project and give me suggestions for what light bar fits best in that area. I am not really looking to spend that much $$ :ballchain:, just a small little project to add some "umph" to the truck.

    Also, can anyone point me in the right direction of getting HID lights (I guess that is what it is). I am just interested in getting the ice white bulbs and dropping them in, if thats possible.

    We do have an awesome setup for you. Pair our light bar with a set of @MojaveMadman brackets and you have yourself a great setup! I think this is the best way to mount a light where your looking. Check these links out. You can get a great deal on the bracket/light combo with everything you need for the install...

    P.S. I was told there will be a sale this weekend so it may be a great opportunity to pick up a setup!

    I bought this setup and they're really great products. Easy install too even for this mechanically challenged person.

    I cheaped out on my lower valence light bar "mod" (its stupid easy to mount them stealth or flush yourself by following the write ups here on t.w) to save my cash for the harder to make brackets (ditch light brackets and windshield led bar bracket):notsure::anonymous:
