    Bambi and the front of my truck aren't friends and I've been thinking about getting a lightbar to go on the front of my truck in that opening above that plastic piece in the middle of the bumper.

    Does anybody have a good enough lightbar, brackets and a switch for around $100 that'll get the job done?

    Also, with the location I specified, would it interrupt air flow going into the radiator?

    You get what you pay for and for a hundred bucks, well, you're going to get Bambi. If you really want to get a light bar that will put out some usable light, you might want to try CaliRaised. I have one of their light bars behind my grill and the biggest problem Bambi will have is avoiding a serious sun burn. I think mine - with the mounting brackets, wiring and all - ran around $270.

    I just bought a cheap Amazon light bar to go behind my grille for 40 bucks. It's replacing my 10in Rigid I had in the same spot.

    I plan on taking the cheap one apart and sealing up with butyl to prevent it from fogging up or condensating. I'm also going to add a DRL feature somehow :D
