    For anyone that has a hidden winch setup, was wondering if you could tell me if the lightbars make reaching the winch clutch lever much more difficult?

    Yes.. But it's still manageable. I haven't cut an access to my clutch lever so I just reach down behind the light bars to get to the clutch.

    I also used SDHQ's control box relocate bracket and I reach down to switch between wired/wireless control

    Gotta pick one of these up soon.

    So, kind of a batshit, off the reservation idea (then again I'm sort of known for that, aren't I? :D)...

    Is there a way to fab up a "spacer" or some other sort of adapter to go in the light bar slots that would allow you to mount smaller light bars (e.g. a pair of 10" bars or 4 pods) spaced along the area where the light bar would normally be?

    Just thinking it might be cool as all heck to have some bigass Vision X light cannons or a pair of 10" rigid/baja amber bars behind the grille on the lower portion.

    The BAMF mount might be a better option if you wanted to mount individual round lights

    Light output is hardly affected at all when used with the Pro Grille. Light output will also depend on which bars you are using.

    I can vouch for this. I don't notice any loss in output. Then again, I am using very high quality lights.

    Its basic plastic so a good razor blade but i recommend an oscilating dremel with plastic cutter. Will cut it like butter

    Earlier conversation indicated these will work with 32" bars. Anyone running a CaliRaised 32"?

    So I just read in another thread that a guy used your dual behind the grill mount on a 2018 with TSS with a Top mounted 30" light bar. He did have to move the TSS to the drivers side of the grill but only because of a center bull bar that was near the logo and interfering, not your bracket. Is there a reason you are redesigning and believe the dual bracket not to work with the TSS?
