    A guy on here mounted his LED bar in the lower grille by screwing the mounts down into the front bumper reinforcements. Believe he has a 30" double row bar

    Not a bad idea! How much is the rigid mount? So nobody has had problems with the bar being that low? I really like the pods in the fog hole idea!!!

    Too many to list now.
    The company truck for my distributor of Rigid's has had 70k lumens+ on the front of his Ford for 6 years now. They're Rigids and you couldn't tell for a moment that they've seen more rocks than a gravel pit. Alaska highways are notoriously bad for that. We have a pile in the corner of all the 'good deal' lights that people come in and leave when they carry out a rigid with a smile on their face. There's a reason we own 70% of the market in LED's, and it isn't because we're the cheapest, it's because they're the best.

    There's no doubt in my mind that they are durable!!! Been looking around and the bamf mount bolts to the side of the light bar. Is this a light specific mount? There's not much on there website about what lights it will fit.

    I like the horns on the BAMF. I moved mine all the way down to the bottom support for the radiator. Either way, they have to go.

    just a little more eye candy, color shifting light bars made by hazardous lighting, bright as hell when on, or a little accent lighting if your cruising

    Can u get the self tapper screws anywhere home dept etc? Any drilling required? How about removal if needed? I like the fact u don't need a mount down there that's an extra 100.00 bucks to spend on lights.

    Ok so I decided behind the grill location, what kind of 20" bars are u guys running and where can I find good wiring and switches for the blank spots left of my strafing wheel? Also some pics and testimonials to your specific bars!!!!!!!
