    Id like there to be enough holes that you can mount 4 lights behind the grill. Looks like this is only capable of doing 2.

    No wobble, mostly straight bolt in, stainless painted black, adjustable, hole relocate points... looks like the ideal solution. Just needs to be abe to do 4 lights or even beter 2-4 lights with holes all the way across if possible for 3 lights (dont know if center support will allow that though).

    Sounds like a smart solution to a frustrating issue for some of us. I have two sets of the IPF 900xs Extreme Combo H9 Kit (900XSDSCS) for a total of four lights and would like to be able to mount them in a somewhat secure and out of the way location that your bracket allows. Using your formula for mounting will four of these fit?

    Dimensions: Round: 8.5"h x 8"w x 4.5"d each.

    Thanks in advance for the assistance and the innovation. And if curious I also voted to opt out of the additional logo on the bracket as I've pretty much removed all of the external branding on the truck already.

    it all depends on the bracket of the light from the center bolt to the front edge of the light?? And what grill you are using??

    Awesome. Hope all goes according to plan. How long you think it will be to install on your truck?

    The light bar out of 304 stainless looks like it will be about $100 + $10 for shipping if we have 10 people. Im also going to get a quote on mild steel it should be cheaper but you will have to paint or powder coat it I will keep you updated. Im having one cut out of 304 ss to test fit.
