    People of TW!
    I need some advice.
    Ok, I'm pretty anti light bar... Just never quite was in love with look, always seemed too "bro" for me. However I cannot deny how bright they are. Since I have some monies to spend at Relentess I'm toying around with idea of mounting a 22" light bar on my front bumper. The problem is how. Here is a couple pics of my front bumper, not a lot to work with...


    So I wish I could neatly cut it into the bumper like on pelfrey bumpers. I like the look of @mh.meier truck
    image.jpg
    However mine bumper angles back at the top. Do you think cutting into it and just recessing it flush at the bottom of the cutout would be worth it? Or nah. I also could fab up some shallow mounts just to hold it there and keep it from protruding too much forward... Worth it?
    Otherwise I would just mount it like @HHIRunner
    image.jpg
    What do y'all think of that? Too me it's not very sleek and kinda seems out of place... At least on my truck. Still love your T4R man! :thumbsup: Anyways, would love to hear some opinions :frusty:

    If you don't draw blood, you're doing it wrong!
    I agree with your idea of cutting a rectangle slot, and installing a simple bracket system. Or like you said, if you really wanted to get fancy, fab-up some fill plates to box-in the recess and flush mount it rearward.

    Another idea, like I did with the Rigids in my ARB, would be to install some SRQ/SRQ2 Flush mounts with their Angled Flush mount to even out the angle (if it's a 15° angle, that is)

    Cut the bumper like the Pelfrey one, then put the bar back inside it. You liked my light bar, didn't you? :)

    Think of it this way, I drilled 4 holes. You are going to have to pull out the plasma and then still make a bracket inside of the bumper which may interfere with a winch. Also I'm glad I'm finally being used as an example for things.
