    Hey guys, just wondering if anyone has been able to install an LED bar in the lower valance without having to remove their bumper? I have a 32" ready to rock but I don't know if I should just remove the bumper to cut down on install time.

    A little thread revival here. Obviously you took out the grill to make this happen, but did you just cut out the lower valance mesh and then slide it around on the crash bar until you were happy with the fit and screw it down?

    That's what I did. Cut out the mesh, slide it in the opening and center it/line it up where you want it and center punch the holes to make drilling super easy.

    NICE! And thank you for the quick response. So for this all I'll need is mounting hardware, relay, and switch, correct?
