How to put a light bar in bumper

I want to do a lightbar in my ‘02’s front bumper like the one pictured, just a little wider. Do I have to buy special brackets? Are all lightbars created equal?

 

Decide just what light bar you want .

Figure out just what all needs done to install it in your truck .

Custom brackets might be needed it all depends just what bumper is on your truck.

 

got my trans cooler mounted on that cross member. dont think you'll have a problem there... plenty of steel. i have a 36" on my SXS, mount'n brackets rotate 360. find the model you want, take the dimensions and make a mock up w/cardboard. fab some bar steel or alum. for mount'n plates. i used tek bolts for my install.

 

I bent 2 pieces of aluminum bar and used the bolt holes that go through the frame top to bottom. Just needed some real long 5/16 or 3/8 bolts, I cant remember which.
20" bar

is this that light bar?

Why not go with the brackets it came with?

 

Some where on here there's some info on my light bar install.

Yes. The brackets I made are much wider than the cheapos that it comes with.

 

Here's some other options.
