    Hey everyone, been looking around to see if anyone has been able to modify the 2016+ bumper to mount an LED light bar bigger than 30-31".
    Every website sells an LED light bar for a 2016+ for the bumper as 30-31"
    Has anyone been able to fit anything bigger such as 36-38" by cutting a little plastic out from either side?
    Here is a pic of my 3rd Gen front bumper. The red lines show the rectangle opening that will fit a 30-31" light bar. The blue lines show what size light bar I'm looking to make fit with a little trimming.
    Now I know the brackets would need to be modified to fit a bigger light bar.
    Wondering if anyone has an info on this or if someone has a build thread of this?
    Any help or info would be great. Thanks!

    You would have to make different style mounts or probably your own mounts in order to do that since everyone makes 30-31" light bar mounts!

    My thoughts would be the combination of extra cutting, custom mounts and the extra lamp cost would not provide a sufficient enhancement in projected lumens.

    Yes I actually got one last week. Will be installing it this weekend. I ordered a 36" bar at first and when I received it it would have been too big, too much trimming to fit it. So i shipped it back and got a normal 32" that fits in there like everyone else.
