    Anyone ever mount a light bar on the front valance?

    Where to mount? Need one for night trails.

    I got this one off of Amazon and the brackets (with some slight bending) lined up perfectly with some holes in the frame of the truck.IMG_3906.jpg

    Very bright for what it is, I love using it down some empty unlit roads at night. Trees here are about 250-300ft back.IMG_3922.jpg

    Got an OEM fit switch for the blank in the lower dash.IMG_3848.jpg

    I spent just under $100 on the light, wiring harness, and switch. Will add links in just a few.

    Nice setup.

    I have a switch and wires run for the LEDs on the headlights but plan on getting new ones without the LEDs.

    Sometimes you just have to say yes to any and all possible mounting locations.
