    Im going to be getting a 20" light bar for my front bumper area. Looking for ideas besides just mounting it to the bumper. Want to see 95-97 only. I searched and went through several threads but not many of the year of truck that I have. Thanks.

    You're really limited to inside the opening on the front bumper or in the front grille area. What other mounting options are you trying to see?

    Pretty much those options. See how they look there and how they mounted. I'm not getting a bull bar or anything like that.

    Good call trying to see how they're mounted. I have a feeling for your year it may be all custom made brackets with angle iron and things of that nature. Good luck :thumbsup: hopefully someone will see this that has some real answers for you

    Here's mine. I haven't checked specifically what size or manufacturer it is, I got it from the previous owner and never touched it, just wired it to my high beams a week ago though

    I got a 23" single row in the opening in the bumper on my 97. There's a cross member from the core support right behind it that works great for bolting to, no fancy brackets necessary

    Thanks. Do you have a pic?

    Thanks, that's what I'm looking for. Don't want to put it on the actual bumper.

    This is how i have my pods mounted. Just drilled into the bottom of the bumper. Mounting a bar would be the same.

    This one you can see the crossmember with all the holes in bolted it to. I had to go with a single row due to my receiver hitch on the front, or else a double row would fit fine

    Thanks for the pics guys. That cross member looks like a great place to mount it.
