1st gen led light bar ideas

Getting my light bar mounted behind my grill with a bamf behind the grill adapter and led bar bracket adaptors will post pics once truck is outta the body shop

 

This thing is super bright and looks really good it only took me about an hour to install. I have a welding machine which helps and I also have a car lift which is even more helpful. I didnt have to remove the bumper or anything I just used some angle iron and welded it onto the crush bar behind the lower grille.

 

Sweet man! Soooo, when are you getting the roof bar?
Cuz trust me, you'll want MORE! If you don't already

 

Yes I do want more and im gonna get it as soon as I can hahaha. Im thinking about getting a 40 inch for my roof then getting four led pods to mount under my truck on my frame to use to light up behind my truck whenever I want.

 

x2. I need some for reverse as well. Not sure what I'll get. I like the flush mount ones. Or get some regular ones since theyre cheaper and make my own flush mount brackets.

 

Amazon has some for like 30 dollars for two and 70 for 4. I dont need all the fancy flush mounts and shit although that would look pretty tight on my black bumper

 

Hey so im getting two pods of whom im gonna mount on the bumper of my truck using flush mounts. There is gonna be two wires coming out of each pod is there anyway i can combine those 4 wires into two wire?

 

Ha getting the flush mounts anyways huh, nice
And just splice/connect them together with electrical connectors/butt connectors, or whatever. done.

 

yes I thought about how tight it would look and couldnt resist. I just wish i could see what they will look like before i order them it would be so helpful lol

 

My sig shows where I have mine

 

Just did a search. Came up with this. Might give u an idear.

yeah but I wanna see a person who actually has them mounted into there stock first gen bumper using flush mounts

 

can you just post a pic

 

Weld your light bars on!! mine got stolen a couple days ago.

 

Or just use security/tamper-proof nuts and bolts.

 

Local welding shop, probably a couple bucks for enough to make a mount. I picked up either 16 or 18ga, can't remember, from lowes. I was impatient. It cost more but its convenient.

 

Here is mine mounted behind the grille.




12 inch light bar. Mounted with the BAMF mount. Wouldn't fit with a factory grille so had to make a flush satoshi. Used a GrillCraft insert. My chrome was peeling on my old grille so bought a new one from Rockauto for about $30. Also had to grind off some of the "cooling fins" on the back of the light bar itself, also ground off some of that middle support bar behind the grille on the truck, and had to cut off part of the BAMF mount..

 

Way ahead of you bro. The only way you can get mine out is from the bolt to the bracket that I used to mount it on and you know what I did???? I welded that bolt to the carbon steel bracket lol.

 

here's mine

 

I mounted mine behind the lower valence with a DIY method that has held up for almost 4 months already. It's just the light mounted up to some L brackets that are used for hanging curtains in a house or room, then we used two 1/4" bolts and drilled through the frame on each side and mounted the light to the L-brackets using the bolts that came with it.
