    I was about to pull the trigger on a caliraised led set up, but then decided i really wont want to lose parts. Their kit involves removing some plastic wind gaurds or something.

    Anyone else have a kit they liked that disnt require losing anything liken im describing?

    You could just notch around the plastic and put it back in. That’s what I did with mine

    X2. I have a KC C-series 30" bar and Rago Fab mounts. I had to trim the plastic shrouds, but no parts were fully removed on my truck.

    Living in Vegas in the summer, airflow of any type is king. I removed the plastic guards. As previously stated, you can notch them.

    Check diode dynamics I believe they have a light bar slides right in the bottom of the grill plug and play.

    Diode Dynamics is the only one I am aware that doesn’t require modification.

    Diode D says they are out of stock. Back order. These days, thats a dangerous phrase!

    Yeah, back orders are a gamble for sure. I bought one a year and a half ago, gonna get around to actually installing it soon. I was in the same situation looking for one that didn’t require modification.

    Oh, you might hit up @memario1214 He deals a lot with Diode Dynamics and might have one or have a lead on one. Plus, he’s a good guy in general.

    I’ve got some on hand! Which color and pattern are you after? If you know, that is. If not, I can help with that too!
