Cheap Bumpers on eBay!!

I got this one

I do believe there are superior brands of LEDs, I do not believe those call for 3x+ the cost. Not a single Nilight light I have/had on my truck ever lost more than 1 led or fogged so badly I couldn't reseal them if needed. They, too, have their own warranty dept and will happily replace them.

 

I’m running the same one, and I had to drill holes to mount it using the brackets it came with as the outermost pre drilled holes wouldn’t line up for it. Measured 3 times drilled once, hit it with black rustoleum and bolted it in. For $599 I can’t complain. Eventually I’ll swap to a BFF hybrid bumper but I feel safer in the Houston traffic for now

 

^^ Nice grill dude! ^^

 

Much appreciated, it’s the grillcraft mx series, simple but I like it. Cut out the center and it bolts in.

 

Thanks guys for the input on the light bars

 

Yeah, I forgot to mention you do have to drill holes for it. A 20" should line up right, but I couldn't find a single row 20", so the single row nilight won.

 

I’m using this one for 35$ it’s dang good. The mounting brackets are adjustable and slide so you can center it.

I ordered one of those in nilight brand identical to it, while it did allow the adjusters to line up with the pre drilled holes, on the new 5pc design, the hoop wouldn’t allow it, it jammed into it. Which is why I had to buy a single row and drill the new holes lol. But the 3/16 steel was easy enough to drill through.

 

Haha it’s all good, I made it work! And I dig it. But for all those who order this light, place the light where you want it, measure measure measure then drill your holes! And the new holes you make should be just outside the outermost pre-drilled holes

 

In the pictures above on mine for fog lights, I went with the nilight flood light led pods, I have a set of round ones but didn’t feel like making a separate bracket at this time for it to work. And the nilight cubes required me to put 3 washers between the bracket tab and the light to space them up and center in the hole. The bolt was long enough and still has thread after I tightened down the nut/washer and lock washer underneath. If you need a pic of it let me know and I’ll take one for you from the backside.

 

I probably got the same nilight as you. With the mounts it wasnt going to fit. So I came here and asked my question to see what everyone else uses.

 

I found some 3.5in. round pods that fit. Though, I did need a washer on the under side of the bracket for the nut. Could have put some washers under the light mount, but the bolt/nut for the light and.moint rest on the sides of the bumper bracket. Figured that was good enough.

 

This fits under the hoop?
Might have to switch to this one.
Was thinking about possibly puting the nilight back a bit and drilling new holes for it.

 

Under the scoop no,on top of the bumper under the center hoop.

 

I think I had seen posts about the 20"+ double rows not fitting inside the hoop as well. Also why I went with the single row.

 

I had a 21” under the hoop. Fit fine with new holes

 

Yea, that's what I meant. On the bumper, under the hoop. Not on top of the hoop.
Aesthetically I like way the double row light bar looks. So, I'm gonna return the nilight and getbthat one

 

Sweet

 

What winch did you put in yours? I saw harborfreight has their badlands 12500 and you can put a 3 year warranty on it for like 400$

 

I don't have a winch yet. But I'm looking at this one.
